My coach has a mid door. That clears up space for three Cruise Airs to the right of the steering in the front. Good air flow there. They have to have the coils cleaned with a spray cleaner or soap, and water every so often just like any A/C so allow for hosing down the condensor coils (with the power off) without getting anything wet that you don't want to.
My front A/C is in a formica covered box of type end table about 10 inches wide and next to the couch, right behind the driver. Louvers can blow forward toward driver or back toward couch. It blows up from couch arm height.
The middle one is built in to the cabinets over the dinette and blows into the kitchen and down on the dinette.
The third one is in a cabinet area above the head of the bed.
I didn't build my coach but I think the placement is very good. In the worst heat wave you can find three cool places where you can sit or lie down. Actually I have never had a situation where the units could not keep the whole bus cool, but I've never had it in Texas in summer either.
The unit near the driver is especially important. Even if you count on keeping a bus air system to cool the driver it can fail as mine did.
Being able to cool the driver with the generator and RV A/Cs means you can wait til you are home to have bus air fixed. When I was planning to convert a coach I thought every coach should obviously have bus air. Now that I have a coach, I see what the guys who say just run your generator when you are on the road are talking about. Do the math. If you travel 20,000 miles a year,A LOT, it will take you 40 years to wear out a modern 1800 RPM diesel brushless generator.

I am not familiar with these units, where do they send the warm air? It sounds like the unit sits inside the bus. |
