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
