Question:
I have a small travel trailer with no ceiling ducts, and I’d like AC plus some electric heat for fall camping. Which one would be the easiest complete option?

Good morning Tomas, I’d go with the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus # GE34RR for that. It’s a complete ductless 15,000 Btu system, so it includes the rooftop AC, air distribution box, thermostat, and controls. That's plenty of cooling capacity for a smaller camper.
It also has the heat pump built in, which is nice for cool mornings when you’re plugged into shore power and don’t want to fire up the propane furnace. Just remember this is the ductless kit, so it’s for RVs without ceiling AC vents.
If you don't want to worry about wiring in a thermostat, since most smaller campers don't even have that from the factory, I'd instead look at the Coleman-Mach Signature Mach 15 RV Air Conditioner System - Ductless - 15,000 Btu # CM73RR and heater kit # CM96RR. This ac unit has the controls on the unit itself on the ceiling, so no thermostat on the wall is needed.
What trailer are you putting it on, Tomas?
