Hi Tim!
The Furrion Chill HE is going to be the best 13,500 btu AC available for your 26' motorhome. At least in my opinion. They tend to be the quietest and most efficient options on the market and they are the ones I almost always recommend.
Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # FR95TD
Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Single Zone - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # FR35TD
Both of these are full kits with the only difference between them being the # FR95TD has manual controls (see included image) and the # FR35TD has a wall thermostat. Both are also white as I think that makes the most sense for a roof top unit (black absorbs more heat so I think they tend to run more).
What motorhome are you wanting to install this on?

I have two 13.5k Furrion HE’s installed in my 43’ 5th wheel. We replaced the factory Coleman Mach 15k units and they perform much better with less BTU power. My only recommendation is to not get the NEW style ADU’s as they are extremely noisy. I ended up returning the flat grill ones that came with the kit and ordering the FACT12SA-PS and it is very quiet.
