There are two fans on every air conditioner. One blows air over the evaporator to cool the spaces and the other blows air over the condenser to get the heat out of the system. Some air conditioners have both fans attached to one motor. This one seems to have individual motors for each fan. Two fans might give you a unit that can be more compact and also might use a little less energy on cool moist days when you need AC to remove moisture rather than hot air from the coach. That assumes they run the two fans independent of each other. To pick a unit check current draw or watts for a given BTU rating. Remember units that are too big cycle too much and don't remove humidity as well as a smaller unit that runs constantly.
