Mountaineer 238 A/C units
I am ready for our August trip to Kansas. I have both A/C units so they will work at the same time. It is fairly easy to do. I took the two way switch out and direct wired the main A/C to the hot lead and seperated out the small A/C. I took out the speaker nearest to the closet. I drilled a 3/8 hole just inside the closet so I could pass the new wire for the A/C to the speaker hole and over to the power junction box for the A/C wireing where the switch was taken out. Drill another hole directly up from the outlet near the floor by the bed on the inside of the closet. I removed the outlet and drilled a hole through the floor. The hard part was geting the wire from the top of the closet inside to the hole out the bottom the only place the wire can be visible outside of a wall or ceiling is between the two holes in the closet. I used two wire brads to hold it up. On the outside I pulled down the skin to the left of the hitch. The hole drilled through the floor comes out near where the light wireing passes into the frame and out at the left propane tank I run my wire the same way. I put the connector box on the frame below the propane tank. I did not want to cut a hole in the outside of the coach. I have a outlet that the end of an extension cord will plug into. Use a good heavy duty extension cord and your in business. For my new wire I used 12ga Romex. 14 ga would probably work but I like the safety factor of heavier wireing. Hopefully I did not miss anything. Anyone have questions feel free to ask.
