Steven 9 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Have put deposit down. Just not sure if the 11k unit will be enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Mike and Carol 1,172 Posted October 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2020 Although we try to avoid the heat (not easy living in south Texas) we’ve camped in temps above 100 numerous times. Our AC is 13.5K but it kept us plenty cool on Low. You aren’t cooling a very large area. I think you should be fine.

Steven 9 Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Thanks. Not much shade out here. Friend here has 13.5k as well and it is sufficient. Just wanted to see if anyone had experience with smaller unit. Link to post Share on other sites
Mainiac 407 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Think a smaller unit would be more efficient, more quiet (important), and more than enough to cool an Oliver. A unit running longer and slower will remove more moisture, as it cools. Being cool, and with lower moisture, it should also be longer between operating cycles. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing quiet about the 11K BTU Dometic a/c. I did sound level comparisons with John Davies who was fortunate enough to have Oliver install a 13.5K BTU Atwood Air Command unit in his Oliver. The Atwood was half as noisy as the Dometic. I’m ordering an Atwood for retrofit as soon possible. The Dometic is horribly noisy. I did the same retrofit in our previous motor home. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
