I installed the Webasto FCF 16000 on my Mk 2 38 and have loved it. I bought the complete kit and was very impressed with the quality of the included hardware. James C&C 38 Mk2 Oriental, NC From: PME via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2015 10:02 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-Lis

I had a 16,000 BTU air conditioner in Cool Change (38LF) when I lived in Florida. I could turn the main cabin/V-birth into a meat locker when the outside temp was 100 degrees. Mounted in the same place as mentioned below. I removed and sold it when I moved to the Great North West and started raci

Robert, I sounds like your set up is similar to what existed. Except I have a large duct going to the v-berth which splits in the back of a closed off area of the hanging locker with one connection going to a small round vent in the v-birth and the other going to a much larger rectangular ven
