3 a/c's... work well?

I'm narrowing down my decisions.. and I'm curious if any cedar creek owners have a third a/c, and would you make that decision again or not.

Also, does the system work? Or does it have some serious flaws that make it not worth it?

I have two.

Right now I wish I had FOUR!

My two work fine though. I only know of one guy who has the 3 a/c's with the power management system and he loves it.

EDIT: Looking back, we ordered our trailer. I now wish I had opted for every single option on Earth! Adding stuff later is a PITA. Some stuff I've added is not even available (like I.S. and Disc brakes), however. But I wish I'd have ordered 3 a/c units (just in case I go to Texas or Arizona in July!) and full body paint, etc.

Yeah, and I LIVE in Texas... I've truly come to understand how important A/C is.

Not a Cedar Creek, but our Berkshire has three A/Cs and works very well with the power management system as well.

I have the 3rd ac with the power management system and it works great. I also got the heat pump on the main unit and it works well when you just need to take the chill out without having to turn on furnace. Would do both again.

I have a crusader I added a third air in.Believe me when I tell you its worth it.We ran a wire to the out side and put a 110 plug on the out side of the camper and just hook it up on the 110 plug on the power pole.Used it 3 trips this summer with no problems besides getting cold.IT also has a heat strip to help with heat.

This is a smart way to do it.. I allllmost did this on my last RV, but ended up selling it.

I just overall wanted to make sure that the system actually functions as advertised.

Works great with my Cardinal.
Well worth it.

Cedar Creek Air conditioners

We have a Cedar Creek 38ERK with 3 units and it works great !! We live in North Texas and use our CC about 9 months of the year. Was a great decision.

X2, same setup as FROG Bob's with the exception we are 750 miles south of him.

In Alabama, the summertime heat index can easily top 115°

With 3 A/C & our power management system, I can freeze you out of our coach on the hottest of days - something I could never have done in our previous coach with 2 A/C.
