Good evening, I thought occurred to me about the dash AC's in the TZE beasties. Has anyone ever attempted or been able to take the rear AC unit from say a suburban and put it under a dinette seat and plumb it in and make a duct system in the area behind the driver to cool the driver from behind and keep the passengers comfy also. I realize there is some work involved with AC lines and valving and controls but thats just textbook and would just have to be done.I have tried running the roof air but it has a hard time making it to the driver area and doesn't do much for the passengers either. My understanding is the onan runs cheaper than running the dash air, so I would much rather run it, and it runs very good. I guessing the dash air pulls about 2-3 mpg by the way it lugs down the motor and the onan only burns about 1/2 gallon an hour. Also haven't really paid much attention but when you have dual roof airs is the front normally in the front or center hole. Seems as if it was in the front roof hole it would do a better job on cooling the cockpit and alot quieter while sleeping in the rear. I know I seemed to ramble around on thoughts but that's the way it came out of my fingers. Any ideals, thoughts or facts known on the above would be welcome.
