If Furrion made a rooftop unit that would be a drop-in for a Dometic Heat Pump...and CCC2 thermostat system which we already have...I'd try it. Our Domestic system has up invested in the fact there is an extra control board in our basement that connect to the AutoGenStart...so, the added benefit is pretty darned good --- esp if dry camping at races or air shows. We upgraded our thermostat (still CCC2 compatible) to the MicroAir EZ touch RV...and it connects to wifi. We can control our coaches thermostat from a smart phone app... which lets us turn the system OFF/ON, change basically anything on the thermostat that you could if you were standing in the coach. I use this to save on Genset use while we are out for the day...then reset the A/C thru the app --- generator will start, and cool down the coach before we get back. I'm hooked...can't give that up.

We also spend a lot of time in campgrounds...so honestly --- I don't get a discount for using a low amp A/C unit... although that would be a good thing when we store the coach at home. We keep the unit cool for humidity purposes...and it does bring our electric bill up substantially.
Bought a unit that will handle the SqFt of the unit and runs off 110. Use the storage unit electric free while taking the moisture out of the unit. Run the drain line into the shower stall so the dehumidifier tank will not over flow. Have a problem running the A/C on the RV. They will last just so many hours so try not to use it if possible.
