Hello Ronald, thanks for reaching out. For a ducted RV, the best option will be to replace/upgrade your whole AC system to the Furrion Chill Cube AC system. It will require a new rooftop unit, controller and distribution box. The Chill Cube units are great because you get a higher BTU rating (18K) than any other RV AC unit, with only a fraction of the power draw. They have a variable speed compressor, so you don't get huge spikes on startup. For your ducted system, I recommend the following:
- Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner w Air Distribution Box - Ducted - 18,000 Btu - Black # FR39TD
Take a look at the video I linked below and feel free to reach out with any questions.
