Reviving this thread… How did these mini-split units perform after being installed over a summer please?
After all my work and $$$$ spent on upgrading and fixing the old SCS basement systems I now wonder if I should have just went with the DUCTED Mini-Split unit. I think I could have just connected the mini-split to the existing duct work in the front and rear but would the air handler have enough oomph to push air all the way to the rear of the coach? I have probably killed $3k easily on fixing this SCS system but it now works on 24-volt and uses Ecobee thermostats… It sure would have been nice to be able to run this all off of solar and batts… would a slow-start help with running off batteries or should I punt and buy a Prevost? :-(
