red-ryder Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) was in Elkhart, yes Indiana, recently shopping 'surplus' stores. was super-surprised at the number that 'were no longer there'. saw a neat Carrier low-profile unit, priced $$$ right, cheked service parts support and decided against it. got back home and found a Dometic Penguin II swapped-out unit for half the $$$. but again it is time to get the 'experiences/opinions' from the Forum! the low profile appeals to me---9 1/2 is really sleek, certainly aerodynamic. after removing the 'shroud' i understand why---a horizontal compressor! never experienced a 'lay-down compressor', in 40 years of building mechanic/maintenance--(refrigeration...ice makers, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, water coolers, deep freezers, PTAC units!)- figger i will ask at the A/C, refrigeration wholesale house tomorrow...... anyone willing to comment, step and fill me in! always willing to learn RED Edited June 28, 2016 by red-ryder spelling/clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Albright Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 My 2012 Lazy Daze has one, we are very happy with it. We use it mostly for the AC and a few times the heat pump, both keep the temp where you set it. The thermostats takes a little figuring out.

jjrbus Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Can't help with the AC. I have not been to Elkhart in years, but consider it Disneyland for the DIY RV'er. Sorry to hear so many places are no longer there. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
