Hello Bob, thanks for reaching out. As far as our 110v AC units, the lowest BTYU rating we offer would be a 13,500 BTU. If you are looking to add this to an airstream, your best bet will be a complete AC system with a manual distribution box. What I recommend is the following:
- Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV23SR
This comes with the rooftop unit, start capacitor, and distribution box with manual controls. Keep in mind your roof must be between 2-1/2" and 5" thick to install the AC unit.
You also have the option of adding a heat strip part # ADV34QR. Just keep in mind this is not an alternative for furnace heat. All the heat strip will do it take the bit out of the air on chilly mornings. It will not heat the camper.
What Airstream do you have exactly? Just curious.
