We chose the Maxx-Fan 5100K (specifically) based on it's intended location in the front bedroom. The 5100K is an
all-in-one low profile unit, so there's no need to add a roof vent cover & it's only 5" high when closed [less added
to the overall height]. It was installed IPO the existing O/H vent & the power source was a near-by 12v ceiling light.
You may not want/need a low-profile fan in your bunk area, but there are numerous posts on the forum about other brands
& models. We use our 12v fans a lot in spring/fall... much prefer open windows & fresh air "moving" vs closed RV & A/C.
In reference to adding a 2nd A/C -- I don't know that anyone here can tell you how much (& where) "extra bracing"
is added during construction. Manufacturers make a distinction as to whether, or not, the added support is built-in,
so apparently they feel the "extra bracing" is necessary. Personally, I'd be very hesitant to add 90+ lbs of A/C &
test their "engineering theory".
May not be an issue right away, but IMHO odds are not in your favor long-term.
Just my 2 cents, of course,
