2018 XL 40C: Changing Rear AC to Heat Pump
I am considering changing my front 13,500 BTU front AC/Heat Pump to a 15,000 BTU AC/Heat Pump, and installing the 13,500 unit on the Rear, replacing the 13,500 AC Only unit.
I am hoping this change will do 2 things.
1-Increase the cooling capacity of the front unit, as the 13,500 BTU unit struggles to keep the front part of the coach comfortable.
2-Provide a heat source in back bedroom and bathroom, as the furnace hot air ducting design is so poor that there is little or no hot air into the back bedroom.
I think # 1 is obviously easily achievable, but for # 2 I think it will take some programming changes to the "Precision Circuits" Control Panel, so that system will know that when the user selects "HEAT" on the rear system that the heat pump will come on first, and the then the furnace, which is the way my front system is currently programmed.
Is there anyone out there with a 2018 coach that upgraded their rear unit to a heat pump ? Can it be done ?
Any other comments on this proposed change would be appreciated.
Thanks
