Hello. I am looking for opinions from the many here who have experience with a decision I am currently making.
I have a 31 foot Bluebird.... big front window, side windows, decent insulation.... it lives in an environment (the rainforests of Belize) which is hot and humid day in and day out. Figure 100 degrees, no shade and 90+ humidity and some engine heat. It has two roof airs (old, inefficient 13K and 15K BTU's) which cannot handle the load.
I plan on putting a mini split single unit in the front blowing straight toward the rear. There are no obstacles. I can fit anything from a 12K to 36K BTU single unit. Fan will max out at 800 cfm.
I am not worried about powering any of the above 12-36 BTU options (plenty of power from generator, alternator, shore power and solar).
I also plan on running the mini-split full time 24/7 set to the mid-low 70's.
The rubber is about to reach the road.... so...
Here is my question: is 24K just right or should I go for more? Advice and opinions are sought.
Thank you ALL very much.
