these units can now be mounted vertical too. For me, id install under the bed and duct under cabinets along one side of the bus.

That is how my house is but on a much larger scale. Works perfectly, zoned and can if necessary heat and cool at the same time.

I would not have place a wall under the unit; if you ever have a coil leak you will have to either take down the wall or remove the whole slim duct to access the coil and replace it.

Awesome work, thanks for sharing! I do have one question; wouldn't an insulated plenum make more sense? My upcoming install is in a basement and I am debating whether to to use insulated ductwork or sheetmetal? Like Dan well says below, sheetmetal provides better airflow, but will it sweat? We are in north Georgia where it's humid at times but not extreme like FL or TX. TIA!

The Plenum that I built is in the ceiling that is insulated. I do have airways that allow the bus temperature travel into the ceiling so it is kept at the same temp. The return plenum is insulated now because that is in a non insulated area of the bus.

Hey Dan, A few ideas that might make that better. You will need a dampers on all the runs because the air flow will be very uneven with that plenum design, there isn't a better way to build it here, it is what it is, putting dampers close to the plenum will reduce air noise at the register, as apposed to the controlling and balancing air flow at the registers. Also if you plan on soloing it and sleeping in the bedroom you may want to put large supply registers in the there, so you can close the registers in the front and open the ones in the bedroom, this way you don't have to cool the whole bus, making it easier to cool at night off house battery power. Also plan on a louvered doors or something like that, to get the air from the front of the bus back to the return air. One last thing I can think of, is follow the installation instructions for service access, it would seriously suck to have to tear things down when that needs to be cleaned or repaired. A quick search yielded these two dampers. You may be able to find better. www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-4-in-Damper-D-4/100396928 or voomisupply.com/products/southwark-metal-manufacturing-atd4-duct-collar-take-off-4-in-dia-28-gauge-thk-silver?currency=USD&variant=40874998988911&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqoibBhDUARIsAH2OpWgzxpK4Ga1JFskghnKjm5rEcsWcBfhefzS1LFGrLBK6ofQ6wQnPgksaAjgMEALw_wcB

Thanks for commenting Dan. I appreciate the input. I will be picking up 6 of these dampers that you linked. The bus will be open from the front to the back so It will be able to pull the air throughout the bus. I was thinking of putting a 4' x 6" register coming from underneath the plenum for the bedroom. The unit will be covered with removable cabinets from the one side and it will be open from the other side (the back) where the "garage will be. Once the dampers are in ill have to play with it so make sure im getting good air flow through out the bus.

@@DanZalinsky A few more things to consider are: the bigger the register you use the less noise it is going to make (if you are considering my idea of closing registers in the front and opening the ones in the back, biggest is better) and smooth metal duct is going to flow more air and be quieter than flex duct work. I still think you should consider adding closed sell spray foam insulation before it is to late, it will help this system work better, give a vapor barrier (the most important benefit if the bus will be heated in a cold climate) , and improve comfort.

Thanks!! It’s 12k btu and it is 220v. I wired in a step up transformer to take it from 110 to 220. It only requires a 15amp breaker.
