I have a feeling that my pre-wired vent will work like what most of you state - it will only cool and vent into the bedroom and if one can aim the vents into the main living areas, that should at least help.
For you guys that have a discrete A/C in the bedroom (not ducted with the rest of the rig), is it controlled by its own thermostat? Is there a way that it gets controlled by the main thermostat as "zone 2"? Did you just not bother?
I am guessing that if it could be done, it gets labor-intensive to install - per Stiles I have a feeling that most secondary A/C units won't be that accomodating. So far if we purchase a new unit, I might drop it into place in the bedroom, wire it to the prewired connections (probably only power) and run it independently like most of you. But if it's not that expensive to run it to the thermostat AND the main ducting, that would be best. I probably should not dream too hard, huh?

Actually Art, you will be suprised how much it does help. Our layout is bedroom at one end, living room at the other. Watching TV is a chore with the rear air on because you have to play volume controller. With the front air on, the rear air kicks on MUCH less (unless it's a scorcher!). BTW: Even though our trailer was prewired, the bedroom is not hooked up to the controller and/or duct work, and I'm glad it isn't.
