Thank you guys for your responses!!
Im thinking of supplementing the current systems by adding the Msplit. Im ok with running it off the generator/shore. It would only replace the current non functional dash air. I would duct to the dash vents and also to the front area of the salon.
I am also considering a roof air. The Msplit would give me the ability to duct right into existing dash defroster vents etc. Also If I can figure out how to do it now while the other systems are somewhat functional I would have a better idea whether and how I could replace the other systems as they fail. I like the idea of utilizing the existing ducts already in place.
I believe the air return for the dash air is under the passenger seat. Depending on the dimensions of the evaporator I would mount it in that area and duct to the dash air return and possibly vent to the living area as well.
Mounting the outside unit is a challenge. It appears that it needs a LOT of air movement. On my coach the dash A/C condensor is under the floor right behind the front axle. I dont think I would want the Msplit outside unit under there. I also would have to figure out how to handle the additional electrical load.
Im hoping that the overall electrical efficiency would be improved by using the invertor heat pump technology.
