We are trying to wrap up our remodel on our 33 foot 1987 Champion Eurocoach Check it out on Instagram. I think I can get around 2KW of solar power on the roof, and a pretty good bank of batteries for storage, so I am ow looking into the option of adding a minisplit AC/heat pump. A lot of our trips will be in southern Utah where 110+ degrees during the day can be fairly common, so I my thought is it we are in the sun throughout the days, we should get more than enough solar to run the AC during the day and still get a good charge on the batteries for the night. My question is for anyone that has installed a minisplit AC in an RV, is a single minisplit enough for a 33 foot class a motorhome? most Mini splits claim to cover around a 400 square foot room. A 33 foot motorhome, 8 feet wide comes out to 264 square feet, but it would actually be closer to 240 square feet or less because of the floor plan. would a single minisplit in the back be enough to cool the entire RV? Would it take a long time to get the front end cool? if I mount the indoor unit facing forward in the middle of the motorhome, will it be hard to get the back end cool? Any info would be very helpfull.
