The number of units was either an option or perhaps one was removed and never replaced? Perhaps Kenny remembers Carver's offerings for the model.

Re: 405/406 air conditioning
Where in the aft cabin would you locate another AC unit?

Re: 405/406 air conditioning
I am somewhat concerned about the salon AC unit. It draws make up air from a grill located perpendicular to the coil intake. The coil is right up against a salon wall. The wall is behind the salon sofa. There might be a 3/4" between the wall and the air flow for the coils? I found the coil and cooling fins covered with dust and carpet lint.
The fan is trying to pull air through the perpendicular grill opening and the 3/4" narrow space. I am considering opening the wall behind the sofa and having the air drawn directly onto the coil. The sofa may need to come away from the wall an inch or two. I need to see how things work this summer. Lots to review.

Re: 405/406 air conditioning
Thanks for your comment on the location of the aft stateroom AC. Makes perfect sense for the aft cabin to have it's own unit.
As for the salon unit with the air feed behind the couch just does not seem that the unit is getting enough air supply. Without adequate air the unit can not operate as designed.
Please let me know what you do to rectify this.
Thanks
Rene

Re: 405/406 air conditioning
Before adding a unit, or changing the ducting, I would make sure the coils are clean, the unit(s) are properly charged and they are working at full capacity.
