Can someone explain to me why I keep seeing mini-split Heating and AC
systems in assorted RV's ?

They operate off 208 / 230 V. Single Phase 60 Hz. How is an RV generator
powering that?

Just curious?

You can get them in 120V versions too. I just had a couple splits installed at tower sites to cool equipment buildings. They were 120V units.

As far as RV installs go, I have no idea if they work well while traveling.

We actually had a 12k Mini Split in our old house that was 110V. It was the largest 110v unit I could get. If I remember it was a Fujitsu.

After several posts today, I now realize that the "Mini-split" referred to air conditioners!

A friend here in OKC had his patio enclosed and added a Fujitsu "mini-split" a/c system to the room. It works very well, even in hot central Oklahoma. It is used to cool and heat a room which is at least 400 square feet in area. I suspect it runs on 240 Volts but one of sufficient capacity for a GMC m/h could very well work on 120 Volts.

It would have been better for the original poster to have chosen "Mini-split Air Conditioners" (or similar) for a subject line.

G'day,

Use of split systems is widespread in homes throughout Australia; I can't remember seeing any for or used in RV's at the NSW
Caravan, Camping & Holiday Show.

Very common in Canada for saving on heating costs in winter and for A/C
comfort in the summer. I also noticed last week that Mexico is no stranger
to them either.
