Question:
I have a 2016 Casita Freedom Deluxe, and the AC just blows right out of the ceiling box. There aren’t any vents running through the rest of the trailer. I’m pretty sure that means I need a ductless system, but which one would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
Hey there Rihanna, yes - that’s a ductless setup. If the air only blows from the ceiling assembly and there are no ceiling vents carrying air through the trailer, you’re in the right group. Also I double checked by looking up your travel trailer, and since it's more of a mid-sized single axle camper, that is also a giveaway that it's usually just a standard ductless ac unit. The big class AC RVs and toy haulers more commonly have the ducted vents going through the interior.
For a normal replacement, I’d start with the Signature Mach 3 # CM58RR. If you camp in hotter weather and want more cooling, I’d step up to the Signature Mach 15 # CM93RR. If your trailer sees rougher roads or more vibration, then I’d look at the Roughneck Mach 3 # CM68RR or the Roughneck Mach 15 # CM88RR instead. If you want, tell me where you usually camp and how well your old unit kept up.
