Robert,

Your idea sounds good but it may have some problems. The weight of the SCS unit is about 160 # I don't how much a household system weighs but I would guess it would be more. Weight is important in a motorhome application. The next consideration would be space; I don't know how you could make a Trane system "fit" in the small area that the SCS is in.

The SCS unit also has the ability to run on 30 amp (1 compressor) when campground power is limited. The Trane couldn't do that.

I'm not an AC mechanic or engineer, but I just don't think that a Trane household unit would work in an RV application.
