Thank you for the replies. We are now looking at a new unit since newer ones are more efficient and have better output. I am sure the reversing valve coil is OK as it does click when I connect and disconnect a lead wire.
As for the valve default being heat, I get the same temp out of the vents (pretty much ambient temperature) whether I set the control to 80 plus degrees or 65. The reversing valve I suspect even though getting energized, does not fully slide over (but does move some based on the magnet attraction point moving). All three of the copper tubes coming out the top of the reversing valve are equal in temp as far as feeling them goes.
We are also considering replacing both roof units. The bedroom one still works fine but by replacing both, I can run the newer 12 button control and not have to worry about buying a downgrade kit. Would amount to an extra thousand dollars over all but would have better performance and efficiency.
By the way, the sale at Camping World did not work out for us as they packaged it with the distribution box, which we do not need since we have ducts.
