I would really prefer to keep the basement HVA/C operational as long as possible. Even when they are working I just don't get enough cooling to the front. I'm researching all of my options. Thanks to Rudy for the call yesterday as I had some questions concerning Aquahot.
Currently I am researching residential ducted mini-split systems. I believe some of the amateur bus conversion guys have used them with mixed results. My thought is to remove the obsolete dash air equipment and plumb the mini-split into the dash area vents. This would provide heat and cool using the invertor heat pump technology. Most seem to require 220V but I've seen a few 110V units. According to a home calculator I would need around 19,000 btu for the whole coach. Since I am planning for this unit to be supplemental to the current units I'm thinking 9-10'000 btu would be adequate.
I would welcome any thoughts pro or con!!!!
