Has anyone installed the new Dometic 57915 Air Condition on a Scamp 16. Ours has an existing vent fan and the vent window installed. Trying find the perfered location for installation, and where anyone may have found the 110 AC line that is supposed to be in the ceiling of a "Prepped" for air conditioner trailer.

16' 2004 install of Dometic 57915 with existing vent and fan
The A/C is installed in front of the vents. To find the power cord press on the ratfur. If you stand in front and look to the rear in the cieling you can sometimes see the roof support where the A/C should be mounted.

Check out Scamp Website FAQ:
A. All 5th wheel Scamps can use roof air conditioners. Older 5th wheels may require the oak reinforcement supports (can be purchased from the Scamp parts department). On most 16 foot Scamps from the year 2000 the roof has been supported for the roof air. On 16 foot Scamps prior to this year most didn't have the roof air support. To check for support find the 120 volt wire tucked behind the fabric strip. This wire will be on the same side of the trailer as the 120 panel with the circuit breakers. Any trailers with the wire and support in the roof can have the roof air added. Thirteen foot Scamp trailers don't have the roof air support unless there is already a roof air installed or if the original buyer requested that the trailer be built that way. Also most trailers with a power vent in the roof air spot won't have supported roofs. Most 16 and 13 foot trailers prior to 2000 used a side air conditioner in the lower part of the closet by the door. This air conditioner is no longer available.
We have a 16' 1998 Scamp and had the factory install the A/C. We have both vents on the roof along with the A/C. All fits fine.
