It's time for a new airconditioner and I am trying to think outside the box.  The old one is under the V-berth so I listen to it all night long. 
It is a split system with 2 separate condensing units and I am going with forced air unit. Since I have to run ducts anyway I am thinking about moving the location.  So here comes the question.  I am thinking about putting it all the way forward in the pilot berth, it would be easy to get ducts to the v berth and the main saloon without any major work.  We never use the pilot berth for sleeping it has been storage since day one.  It would be much quieter at night while sleeping and would allow the drain to go overboard instead of the bilge.  Sounds good to me so what am I missing in my thinking, there must be something.   The storage I would loose would be made up under the V-berth in the old location.
