New to the forum. I am in process of purchasing a 2021 Solitude 380FL R. The unit has 2 AC's . I was curious if needed, if this model is Pre-wired for a 3rd AC?

Snip below is from a 2019 380FL.

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the post.

Looking at your diagram, it looks like the 2 AC configuration would be front and back - front living area and back bedroom with an AC only thermostat for each one. That diagram matches the location of our skylight and 12v vent fans. We also have the central/kitchen AC with the combo heat and AC thermostat in the kitchen. The central AC also feeds the AC racetrack shown in your diagram. If the OP has the dual purpose thermostat in the kitchen, that might be a good sign for "pre-wiring". Probably the best action for the OP would be to call Grand Design with the VIN.

I assume your heating thermostat is on the wall by the pantry as it is in mine. If you cycle through the options (lowest, long button) does it only show heat options or does it also show AC options. If it shows AC options, you might be in luck with prewiring.2021 Solitude 380FL-R

Being as the model year is 2021 I am remembering that back then GD was only installing 2 AC's because of shortages, covid time. I am not sure if they were still wired for the 3rd one or if they quit wiring for the 3rd one at that time. A call to GD with your VIN should get your questions answered.
