I know this thread is over but we have been living in our coach now since January 1 and want to report on the heat air system and my thoughts of what I would do differently. The art mini splits are wonderful, they are dead silent and the people around us have asked how we have been warm or cool without an AC unit, I showed one guy the compressors in the bay and it was running and he said that was impossible because it was so quite so I took him inside and he was amazed he never turns his roof airs off on his Tiffin and if he did it would be hard to catch up again and its not even hot outside yet.
The only issue we have is the thermostats, the manual thermostat I have for the evaporator unit over the refrigerator needs to be in the galley area not in the salon area, just a few feet would make it more precise in temp control. The remote controls are a issue, one for the evaporator in the front and one for the bedroom evaporator if you leave one laying in the window or on top of the granite it will send a false signal to the evaporator unit, you will be freezing or burning up, I thought the evaporators would measure the return air temp and the remote was just for the adjustment of temp and on off but it actually is what measures the inside temp and leaving it in an area that is exposed to sun or cold will throw the unit off. I believe its possible to put manual thermostats on the other two evaporators then use the remote just to change temp and on off.
