Robert:

I went the other route, roof airs on my 97 #452. Newell quoted $18-20k and I did it for $2k. My coach doesn't have the mirrored ceiling so that made it easier. The three Duo Therm 15k units are bullet proof dependable and I wired for a 4th right over the bed but have never needed more than two of them at a time. I got the manual controls because ducted units would be very hard to install in the ceiling with all the foam insulation in the way. The cuts in the roof were the only trauma, but after measuring everything numerous times, I let it rip. There are pics in one of my posts of my install. I know you can cut glass but I didn't have to address that. A/C is one less thing I have to worry about!
