I have not made a decision yet which way to go. I have considered using inexpensive window units mounted in the bottom of cabinets, but don't like the venting options. I want to know what types of central air units others have used in their coaches. What brands; how did you vent them; suppliers; problems; benefits? I am not interested in roof air units, as i want to restore the classic lines of my 4104. TIA

You might also check into mini-splits, compressor unit goes in baggage bay/spare tire comp./etc and the evaporator hangs on the wall inside.

Evap units with mine are about 9" high, 32" long and stick out from the wall about 4".
They come in 120V and 240V sized from 9000 BTU up to 24,000 BTU. (that is all I saw)

They also come with dual evaporator units for a split zone system. I just opted for two units and put one in the front, and one in the rear.

Type in the url "mini-splits".

As Ed said,
The ductless mini-splits are nice, and are available in heat pump models also. However, they are not designed for mobile use, and I don't know how well they will stand up to over the road use. The outdoor portion does have to be "outdoors," and can't be in a compartment with some louvered openings.

Hi Guy's,

Here is another option for your needs.
It's not the cheapest way to go but, an option... 2- 15,000 btu self contained Heat Pumps
Theese units are ducted to an overhead 2 1/2" X 14" main trunk with 12 spacepak vents in the ceiling. It could very well be the quietest systems ever in a bus....

Nick-
Stacked self contained 15,000btu H.P's
