I recently picked up a stand-alone Furrion 15K A/C to replace a 12 year old Dometic unit. I reused the Plenum and the relay box. THe Furrion plugged directly into the Dometic relay box and bolted to the plenum without the use of the kit or any modifications. I think the Furrion A/C with Dometic controls is the best way to do it- best of both worlds.

They are located as close to your head as you can get, and they are so loud because they use the entire roof as a speaker cone, shaking it in the middle like that. My Winnebago routes the AC ducting in the roof which is heated by the sun. I couldn't engineer a worse installation than that.

We bought one of the Atwood AC/Heat Pumps in 2014, before Dometic bought them out and I must say that we also replaced our old Carrier unit which had started falling apart from AZ sun exposure and the Atwood was even better than the Carrier unit. So quiet, so effecient. Low current draw (we could run the enitre 30A Class A unit on a 15A extension cord). In a class C you can simply leave the thermostat on the plenum (where it is default installed on the non ducted units) and the unit will work. Only thing I would do differently is get teh smaller unit as the 13,5 was too big- it cooled the whole rig down in about 15 minutes and tended to not be able to draw enough moisture out down here in FLA where we now are most of the time. For a Class A, the 13,5 would be great IMO. We sold that rig last year and we really miss the Atwood - we simply set the temp and mounted the remote control (not thermostat) on the wall with some velcro. One more thing- you can start the generator with the Atwood unit on and it will wait for the gen output to settle before starting and only draws about 10A max. The Atwood would've worked perfectly here and is an easy non-ducted solution. Only rub: since Dometic bout them, you can no longer get the NON ducted unit from them and must buy the Houghton brand (Atwood was private label- same as the Lippert/Furrion). There is no point getting upset with Lippert- they actually have no engineers- the engineers are in China. Houghton is in Australia (though their equipment is also China sourced). When our new Class A needs units- we'll be going with Houghton 100%. There are no real American makes left (including GE branded units). RIP Carrier.

I installed a Furrion 14.5 kbtu AC last year on my motorhome that we live in FT. To keep it simple and avoid all the problems you had I got the model with the control unit on the AC. If it gets too cold, you just turn the knob warmer. Too hot and turn it cooler. My furnace is on a separate, inexpensive thermostat from Lowes. My initial complaint with the Furrion is that the fan runs all the time, unlike my old Dometic. However, this new Furrion produces so much cooler air than my old 13.5 kbtu Dometic that if it's not very warm outside, like at night, the coils will freeze up if the fan is on low, so I just leave it on high. I really like that it blows air through my AC ducts as well as directly through the vents on the AC unit itself, unlike my old Dometic, for a much faster cool. In fact, this Furrion cools so well that I haven't had to run my rear AC in over a year.

When we bought the $225k 2015 🍋diesel pusher I had to do a ton of research on this RV & RV quality issues in general. I came to the conclusion that back around 2013 Lippert really took over the supply chain market for RV manufacturers, buying up other smaller parts manufacturers, & quality control took a major dump. There are only 2 components to building a quality RV - quality of parts & quality of builders. None of that has happened since 2013, imho & gotten even worse during the last 3 years. I have a 2022 tank now! She's dated & needs a few updates here & there but gets the job done.

Very good!!! This is something I've been trying to fix with a new Daikin 2 Ton Mini-Split Heat Pump installed by a HVAC friend in my 700 sf garage that has 12 foot ceilings. The indoor unit was installed at about 10 feet high, and when it was put in in July, I noticed the cooling mode worked constantly, which really didn't bother me since my PV system was giving me 150% of my usage. But when winter came, I then noticed I couldn't get the heat to get above 71*. It finally dawned on me that it was because the thermistor was located inside the head unit. I tried to get my friend to come up with a solution, but I did find a Cielo Breeze Max thermostat that somewhat corrects the room temp issue, but the interface isn't easy to program or control. Over the last couple of months, I've just resigned myself to turning off the breaker when we leave, because re-programming the Cielo is just a PITA (you have to use the Daikin remote pointing at the Cielo AND the head unit to make any changes, because another thing that pisses me off is that all Mini-Split manufacturers use IR instead of RF in their remotes!!) . For years, my friend nicknamed me "Mr. Gadget" because I LOVE automation- and put in Google Home years ago, but still can't get the Cielo to operate the way I want it to (like a normal programmable t-stat!!!) and its pissing me off. Daikin has a solution for interconnectivity, but their solution costs about $500. But now that I've seen you were successful at extending the thermistor, I will get my HVAC friend to try that!!! BTW...just about 2 weeks ago I did find Micro-Air and bought one to replace the t-stat in our 2023 GD Reflection 320MKS. LOVE IT, although it's a bit pricey!!!! And it works just like a t-stat should!

I always hated talking to factory reps as they pretty much all were as you said.

My new (2023) TT came with the Furrion/Lippert 15.5 btu chill A/C and updated control unit and thermostat. I tried the room temperature sensor relocation to the thermostat for the A/C sensor. It reads about 6 degrees higher than actual. So I thought I'd install the AirTouch thermostat and program it to correct for the error but it only allowed for 4 degrees of correction. I also found the WiFi and bluetooth app for the android to be lacking. It kept dropping connectivity and was a pita. The new thermister in the Furrion thermostat for heat is also wonky, slow to respond and off a few degrees also so I installed a Suburban analog tried and true $18 dollar thermostat for the furnace and use the original Furrion thermostat just for the A/C cool, fan and dry mode and allow for the thermostat error. Perhaps Lippert may re-consider making their products in China for the sake of profit and try making it here in the USA for quality's sake.

By the by I replace my carrier a/c with a 15k Brisk air. There are adapter cables so no interior changes are need. I use the carrier remote for heat and cool and the Brisk air works great even in San Antonio 118 degree heat

Like you said they need to incorporate the thermistor in the thermostat or develop a thermostat that has the temperature sensor built in with a wiring harness/ thermostat wiring. Like you said through years of trial and error no sense to try to reinvent the wheel when it turns smoothly from past failures and corrections.

good video! I noticed the ceiling has some waviness in the material. Is this caused by moisture inside the RV?
