Three AC's on 350M

[roadkingfl]

Are the three AC's controlled from the same controller? Are the AC's ducted (I forgot)? Where is the where is the Load Management System located?

Yes there is only one control. You brought up a question that we are not sure of the answer. Is our garage AC ducted to the rest of the trailer or not? We will check into it next time we are out. Anyone know?

The thermostat is by kitchen bar. I would assume the LM system is there also.

I know in the 385, all three A/C's are ducted to a common raceway duct, I would assume the rest of them are also...provided they are factory installed A/C's.

That is what we thought. It's been rather cool since we brought our trailer home in January, so we haven't used the AC much.

Yes. It is the Domentic Control on the outside pantry wall.
- Zone 1 = Main Bedroom
- Zone 2 = Main House
- Zone 3 = Garage

No, not all the AC are ducted, only the Main House is ducted to the whole unit. The other two are just air dumps into those rooms.

The LM is located inside the pantry to the left inside wall. At least that is were mine is.

No it is not ducted to the rest of the camper

Interesting. I'd have to go back a look, but there was talk about this before about the bedroom ducted vs. non ducted. I believe it said the bedroom and main room are ducted together, if installed from the factory. There was no mention of the garage as the discussion was only the bedroom and living room.

We will be getting our 385TH with all three A/C units factory installed, so I was curious as well.

All this is coming from personal experience with my 350M. When I close the bedroom dump, the air has a high pitch squeal coming through, but no air is coming from the ducts. My unit did come with the factor installed three AC.

Also, none of the 3 units have heat strips in them, the only way to get heat started in the camper is through Zone 2 temperature adjustments. It turns the furnace on.

I'm going to have to verify next time I get a chance, but I believe my 385 (2015) (which has three factory A/C units) they are all ducted, but only within their own zone.

One controller for all three located inside bedroom door (w/sensors in each zone)

very curious. I checked our garage and there are vents as well as the factory installed AC. I am not sure if all AC's are vented together or just per room. in a couple of weeks we will be taking it out- need to check some of these things out.

After some testing and a visual internal inspection, I verified on my 385 (build date Nov. 2014) that all three factory installed A/C units blow into ducts that run the length of the rig into each zone (as mentioned in post #4 above.) It "felt" like they were only feeding individual zones. I think this is good... and now I know.

it's called Racetrack Ducting because of the shape. All factory installed connected to ducts. Dealer installed generally (from my experience) just dump into one room, possibly because (again, from what I've seen) the ducted ones are more expensive. I would have thought that the toy haulers would have isolated the "toy" room from the rest though so as to allow the back to be open and still a/c the rest of the trailer.
