Whats up folks..
Just wondering a rough idea what size of an AC i would need.. Right now
i have a 3ton installed.. Though its not working. My place is a single
wide mobile home.. bout 924 square feet. Would it be good to stay with
a 3 ton?or could i get away with something like a 2?

I know there is a lot of things to consider but a rough idea would be
good.. thanks in advance.

There is NO rough idea from here concerning the heat-gain calc of your
mobile home!

For Motor Homes it is pretty easy. As long it is a singlewide you have to
walk 75 feet exactly(make sure you measure it out) Take a 6 or 12 inch
clear plastic ruler and hold it at arms length from your body. Whatever #
of inches it says that is what you need. This used to work with houses till
they stopped bulidin' them all the same!

My reply was as useful as the information presented. I will gladly do a
MAnual J heat load Calc for you if you can't do one. Without one you my as
well use the last method I gave you. I need wall construction, insulation
values of floor, walls, and ceiling, the color of your siding and roof,
which direction does it face please be exact, a room by rrom diagram with
proper dimensions, are there any trees on your property, where are they
located, are your windows double or single pane, argon or low e, where are
they in your structure, your bin data city, is this unit an indoor unit or a
package unit, how many people live in that little trailer.

Don't call me a prick till you get to know me, then you have to call me a
prick to my face like everyone else.

Now who was the prick who orinally posted this request. The guy who wanted
$500 worth of information for free, you are welcome to go buy the program
for a few thousand dollars, if you look really hard you may even find a free
one somewhere on this group, but you gotta try real hard. Although, I don't
think that one will do trailers.

Good Luck Asshole
