I have a spring project to install an A/C unit in my 2012 250WB. I was planning to install it in my V-birth storage space forward of the potable water tank. I have extensive knowledge of A/C installations in the commercial market but need help in the size unit to use in this marine application. I live on the Chesapeake bay in Virginia and wanted to know if a 5000 btu unit is large enough for this boat. I am aware of the calculation that can be used to determine unit sizing but I am more interested in proven unit sizes already installed. What size units do you guys have?

Thanks in advance!

Robert,

I don't have A/C on my boat, but there are other posts about them.
Also, our Photo Gallery (left menu) has a Projects section where an A/C project was posted.

You can also use the Forum Search feature (top of the page).
There is a large archive section, so verify that box is checked.
Here is an example found using Search.
