Funny to see a million dollar class A tag axle with 2 chinese ACs that cost less combined wholesale then the toilet inside.
The RV market is ripe for a premium parts manufacturer to spring up as I too am tired of replacing the junk on our fiver. $800 is a lot of money-but I would pay significantly more for a quality unit that came with a 5 or ten year warranty.
