I don't know exactly where the basement A/C unit is and neither does he. He hasn't had it very long and its his first motorhome. I've seen pictures of his unit with the compartments open and I didn't see any difference between his and mine as far as what's in the compartments. So, the A/C unit must be mounted on the frame somewhere. I have seen a basement unit serviced on a fifthwheel and they had to get at it from underneath. They basically had to remove it to work on it. I have two 15,000 BTU units on the roof and they do a fine job of keeping the coach cool. They are noisy though. Also, have a friend that had a Winnebago with a basement unit and that did have a problem keeping up when it got much above 90deg. Some larger coaches that have basement units have two of them.
