We added a Dometic Penguin 13.5K Btu low profile unit to ours. It's not ducted since I couldn't see any way to do that without pulling the ceiling down or installing a different thermostat to control both. With that said, it will actually cool the entire trailer alone in a not too scorching a day - recall that cooled air 'falls' and that a/c is right at the stairwell and that air tumbles down into the LR/kitchen . I also added the optional heat strip for those chilly mornings. My DW is happy about that.

One thing to take into consideration when you add one of these a/c units to the front - it adds considerable height. I started at a measured 12'11" after some suspension upgrades. The trailer is now right at the 'magic' number of 13'6" over the a/c which is now the high point.

Noise - on low, it's not too bad but quieter then the main 15K Btu unit. On high speed - well let's say that any RV a/c that close wont be a good way for a restful night
