AC 260 Sundancer

[Scott1]

I just bought a brand new Webasto 5000 BTU reverse cycle w/ digital controls for $800 now I need a few things like the water pump and ducting. Does anyone know what size water pump I would need? I found some for $95 and some for $450 I assume that the expensive ones are designed for saltwater use and the cheaper ones are for Freshwater.

Good find. Thats what mine came with. Mine developed a leak in the coil and now I have a new 7k installed two yrs ago.

So... I have the AC unit, ducting, hoses, and water pump. But I am having a hard time trying to hunt down a breaker switch for the AC unit that will be mounted on the control panel. I want it to match the other black/ white switches. Does anyone know where I could find a switch?

Also Where would be a good location to mount the controller? I was going to mount it below the vent above the Cabinet door but I was not sure if the controller has the thermostat built into it. If it does have a built in stat that would be a bad spot for the controller.

I will have to fabricate a shelf for the unit below the seat does anyone have a picture of how their unit is mounted?

One more question, I took off the panels to have access behind the aftcabin and I am trying to figure out how to fit 4" insulated ducting through the 3" gap that is behind the head. Is there a different direction I should go with the ducting or should I just take the insulation off and squeeze the ducting to have an oval shape?

I thought I would just note that the directions that came with the unit are worthless. :smt021

The last time I bought a breaker, I bought it through the dealership (Sea Ray) to make sure I get a matching one. I can't say for sure, but I think it was either a Blue Seas or a Carling.

Thanks, I found the switches though Great Lakes Skipper. They are Carling. So the unit draws 4.4 amps plus the water pump of 1.1 amps for a Total of 5.5 amps. I was told to take that number and multiply it by 2.5 and use that size breaker. So would a 15 amp Breaker be the correct one to use then?

Andy I use a Mini-puppy Jabsco pump for circulating the coolant on my hydronic heater. It works well and is 12VDC. I'm not sure if you're adding a 120VAC pump for your A/C or not.

Good question. I've never heard of that method before - but then I don't get too involved in that area, either. I guess I always assumed (possibly wrongly) that one would just add up the "kick on" amps. If no one else knows, I would suggest just calling the manufacturer and see what they recommend.
