AC Retrofit in 2020 R29S

[Dcsqatar]

I am working on retrofitting AC to my NW edition boat. From photos of a 2020 R29 with factory installed AC, it appears that (at least in some installations) there was an AC vent located in the V Berth on the forward bulkhead on the starboard side of the mirror. My contractor is interested in understanding how ducting to that vent was routed. Can you please provide insight or photos? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi there, a factory installed AC in a Ranger 29 would include two AC units. One located behind the fwd wall in the guest aft berth and one more mounted under the fwd master bed cushion. Ducting for anything in the vbirth would have routed from the unit under the fwd bed cushion.

In a boat that I know of that had been retrofitted, they ran ducking to the aft end of the helm arm rest and one more air duct to the wood panel at the step into the vbirth. Any routing of ducting from the aft berth to the vbirth in any other way would be very difficult if even possible.

Are you planning to install just one unit? A picture pointing to the area you are mentioning would be a huge help to clarify location.
