2nd AC Install in Impact 311

I have a couple questions that the dealer near my house wont answer because its seceret or proprietary info bit im a do it yourself type of person so I will try to find the answer on here. Im going to install a 2nd air conditioner in the garage area of my 2016 Impact 311. It is “prewired” for ac. There is a outlet box near the vent that the ac will be installed in. It has the power wires: black white and ground. It also has 4 small wires for a thermostat and an additional white wire. The biggest question is where are the other end of the thermostat wires ran too? I removed the existing thermostat in the living/entrance area next to tv and didnt see any spare wires there. All the wires there were hooked up already. Also my 2nd question: is the rear ac ducted? Guess i can find that out when i remove the i side vent cover. Thanks in advance! Any one on here with a Impact 311 with factory installed 2nd ac could probably tell me how the factory did the thermostat.

Welcome to the forum!!

If you have a single zone thermostat now, then your garage A/C will have its own. Most likely place for the wires is in the wall at the front of the garage, above a light switch.

Thank you Chuckster, I will start looking around the light switch. I like the idea of having 2 thermostats one for each area. If anyone on here has a 311 impact with 2nd ac installed please chime in and confirm the location of the 2nd ac’s thermostat. Thanks everyone for the help!

I have a 312 with factory installed ac. My thermostat is above the light switches and bed switches to the right of the door from garage into living area about 5'10" up. Sorry can't be more specific than that! LOL.

Why don't you get an A/C with the controls in the inside trim?

I need a remote thermostat because its a toy hauler and the ceiling height and position of the rear bunk beds makes it difficult to access the controls when mounted on the inside trim piece
