[VAC] Re: Air conditioner removal

[Lew Sprague <lsprague@xxxxxxx>]

Robert, I have a '66 24ft. Tradewind, purchased in '99 without an a/c unit.
I have 3 roof vents; 2 being forward of the sleeping area (and without
fans) and 1 just forward of the bathroom door (with a fan). Upon a request
from my wife to install  an a/c unit, I did some research so to correctly
install one.. I found starting in 1964, the company installed a 120 volt
wire to a location in the roof for future a/c add-on. The Tradewind 24ft.
Twin and Double should have the wire located 121" back from the #1 "rib"
of the trailer. This puts it just aft of the partition between the sleeping
compartment and the galley. Sure enough, when the opening was cut (between
supports) the wire was there waiting to be wired to the unit. The the other
end was at the panel but not connected. The drain line was not found although
I was told it should be there. I trust this may be of help to you or others.
P.S. different length models' location of wire will vary. Where in Michigan?
