I have an opportunity to snatch up a marine air conditioning package (12,000 btu reverse cycle) for a nice price.

On my 1997 Vista 278, I cannot imagine where I'd install it though. :shock:

Can somebody with a 1994-1999 Vista 278 tell me where the location of the factory installed air conditioning is located, or if you installed a/c after the fact, where you put it??

Thanks.

On my 248, it's in a storage compartment under the starboard seat in my cabin where my table is located. Maybe a similar set up for the 278?

Have a buddy that used to have a 95' 278 and the A/C was located in the rear bench seat where the table is. Believe that was factory.

Hope that helps.

From the 278 Manual

Quote:
I - 3 AIR CONDITIONING
A. General
Air conditioning is available only on the 278 Vista and
operates on 120 volt (220 volt on 50 hertz models) AC
power. Dual dockside is required with air conditioning.
Be sure the appropriate shore power cord is connected
or generator running whenever the air conditioning is to
be used. Also, refer to the manufacturer’s literature included
with this manual.
The air conditioning unit is located on the port side of the
aft cabin. The seawater pick-up and air conditioning pump
are located below the center cushion in the aft cabin.
The air conditioning controls are located on the port side
of the main cabin near the electrical panel. Air conditioner
vents are located throughout the cabin to provide
good air circulation. Vents are provided in the
v-berth, main cabin, and aft cabin. The vents are adjustable
to change air flow direction and can be closed.

Thanks for that info Cap'n. I'm toying with the idea of AC in mine.

Here's a couple of pictures of mine if it helps. A couple years ago someone else asked about how it was installed so I still had the pics.
