2nd ac install 2021 keystone cougar 5th wheel
Hello everyone
I'm new so if I ask a dumb question please pardon lol
I was forced to buy an new rv due to the devastation of storms in our state. Until my home is restored, however the unit only came with one ac unit coleman mach 15btu but was wired for 2. Bad news since covid manufacturer cannot provide at this time the net zone gateway for the in command and I was told I also need a control box is this true. I've already purchased and had installed the 2nd coleman mach 15btu to the bedroom where an existing fan was initially. The tech did an awesome job, but as he informed me I need those 2 parts to finish the job. Now I live in an area where Temps are well over 100 everyday and I'm sure it will increase as we enter august. I was also told by another tech that I can bypass the ncommand and just get a manuel ceiling assembly . I don't know which parts I need to do that. Do i still need a control box, and do i need a thermostat I really need direction any help would be grateful. By the way I'm a female and live alone I really don't know what to do .

If you’ve already installed the roof unit, does it only have the 6 pin connector? If so you will need a control box and thermostat to operate it independently from the InCommand.
You can get a ceiling control plenum, and operate the AC from the controls in the ceiling assembly.
If your roof unit has any phone cables included, you have to have the control box and compatible multizone thermostat.
What roof unit do you have?

I am waiting on my second AC also for my Cougar. I had originally planned to control the new Coleman through my N-command system and ordered the gateway and the control kit from Keystone. The story I got is that the gateway is proprietary to keystone. So that was the only source to get it. Not sure if it’s true but I sure couldn’t find one anywhere else. And instead of paying a markup through a middle man I called myself. I thought at that point it would be plug and play. The more research I did I discovered the second A/C wiring is there with the temp sensor pre-installed for a new thermostat. However….. there is no command wire ran from the body control unit to the second A/C location. I said all that to say your cheapest route would be to do what Chuckster suggested. The gateway and control box came out to about 550 total with shipping from Keystone. I have the part numbers available if you want or need them.
