Update
Installed a Coleman Mach 8 Low Profile 13.5 K BTU AC in the Bedroom Vent. That kept the RV in the mid to upper 70's during a week of 90ish temps. The Dometic Brisk Air Ducted AC just blew air so it was replaced last night with a Dometic Brisk Air 2 15K BTU Ducted. Brisk Air 2 is a little quieter and definitely putting out cold air. Was a lot cheaper than the new Bedroom AC. Also only 75 pounds

Only installation problem was our thicker (replaced once) roof did not permit the Coleman mounting threaded rods from reaching the AC unit so I had to use 1 small bar clamp and 2 8" clamps to pull it down (compress the gasket) enough to get the rods to start.

Dometic Brisk Air to Brisk Air 2 was an easy swapout, but I had upgraded the control box and thermostat last year which ensured compatability.
Thanks for all the advice!
