Question:
I pull my toy hauler down a lot of rough gravel and backroads getting to riding spots out west. I’m looking at the ducted Coleman-Mach Roughneck Mach 15 CM65RR, but I’m wondering if that’s really necessary or if the standard Signature Mach 15 CM52RR would still be fine.

Expert Reply:
Hey Melissa, in your case the Roughneck Mach 15 (15k btu) # CM65RR is exactly the one I’d be looking at. The big difference between that and the Signature Mach 15 (also 15k btu) # CM52RR is the tougher reinforced construction on the Roughneck unit. That model is built around harsher use where more vibration and rougher travel are part of the job.
It sounds to me like the Roughneck version makes a lot of sense for you since you travel gravel roads a lot. If you were just doing normal highway miles and campground weekends, I’d usually point you toward the Signature model instead though since it's a bit less costly.
You’re still getting the same basic advantage of a complete ducted system either way: rooftop unit, ducted air distribution box, and wall thermostat all matched together. If you want, send me your toy hauler model and about how big the cooled space is, and I’ll help you decide if the Roughneck Mach 15 # CM65RR is the right amount of AC for it too. Also, remember that these kits are for DUCTED RVs, meaning you have AC vents in the RV; otherwise you'll need to get the ductless options if you only have air coming out of your current AC unit.
