Question about two air conditioners operation
We pick up our Reflection 337RLS in a few weeks. Our Reflection came from the factory with two A/C units. Is the living room unit a 15k and the bedroom a 13.5K. If so can they be run independently to cool the entire trailer? Can someone please explain how they operate? Is there one thermostat with two zones or two separate thermostats?
I'm considering installing a 20amp receptacle at home. If I can run a single 13.5K unit to cool the trailer a 20 amp circuit should be adequate. I also have a Yamaha 2400 watt inverter that will start a 13.5K unit providing there isn't any additional load at start up.
I know they will explain this when we do the PDI but I'd like to install the circuit before delivery.
Thanks

Our Reflection 317 has 2 AC. The bedroom unit is a 13.5. You can run either one or both. AC duct connect to both units. We have 2 separate thermostats. A 20 amp plug should run the 13.5 with no problem as long as you are not running a lot other things.

The A/C duct work is shaped like a racetrack with a A/C unit at each end...with this the flow at any outlet is the same. Either unit will provide cold air to all outlets so you can run the bedroom A/C when watching TV or the main unit while sleeping for reduced noise. I'm not absolutely sure whether the factory installation will have two separate tstats or one with dual zones. Mine's an add-on with a separate tstat in the bedroom.

Had my 2nd AC installed by Factory Service Center after the Rally last year.
Two separate thermostats.
Have not tried the bedroom thermostat to see if it runs the furnace also ..???Mike & Pat Clawson

Note: Many complain of the a/c noise in the front bedroom. They'll just use the front unit on hot days to maintain temps until after the sun goes down. When they go to sleep, the back a/c unit will be used and the front a/c unit will be cut off--for more quietness.
Most of the dual units have a thermostat in the front bedroom that's mounted above the light switch. When GD builds the units, they tape the wire to the inside of the light switch hole so those with aftermarket installations can have a thermostat wire without having to fish a new wire to the ceiling.

To be honest we didn't want two AC units. I didn't want added pin weight or additional height. We rarely travel where it's extremely hot. The dealer had this unit in stock at a good price so we took it. Now I can see advantages having two units.
Thanks everyone for your replies.2023 Reflection 150 Series 260RD
