Fair price. I just had my front one replaced....$1900 including install, shipping and taxes. Extended warranty didn't even flinch......Dennis

Appreciate the feedback.
Deposit paid...

I make my living as an air conditioning contractor, yes that is a very fair price and I have replaced a penguin in the past.

Just replaced my 2 airs with 13.5 penguinII's with heat pumps ducted. Bought from ppl $2,300 with new t-stat. Put them on myself. Easy job installing hard part getting them up there. Just got back from KY and it was in the 90s all the time we were down there. I have a 40ft Monaco and they did great, better than the old penguins I had on there.

You can sometimes find the units on sale at PPL motorhomes in TX on their website and have them shipped. (you pay shipping) You would then have to find an RV tech to install them if you can't do it yourself. The most difficult part (they say) is to get the unit atop the RV as they are heavy and takes 2 people and some type of assist. We've been without our front AC and have had a difficult time finding a place that has them in stock that can fit us in for the install. We finally found someone and they now have the unit.

My Dutch Star that I bought a year ago had just had both a/c's replaced by the previous owner. The receipt for 2 15k Penguins is around $3300 as I recall.
Sounds like a good/fair price to me.

We replaced one of ours with the (not quite) 15k Penquin II w/hp a year ago. Our costs for the unit, new board to work off our existing Tstat, gaskets was just under $1,300 just for parts. We installed it ourselves. The only hard parts were taking the old one off and getting the new one on the roof. They are heavy machines. It would be well worth $100 labor. Fortunately we didn't damage it or the roof in the process or doing it ourselves would have been a really bad decision.

That right it line with what I paid for a replacement 15K Air/Heatpump for my 04 Dutch Star. Both units had previously been replaced under warranty a few years back and one went bad again. Cost me right around 1400 for one unit.

Yes. That includes removal of old, full install, and the newer controller/t-stat.
And, I definitely need the heat pump feature, we use our coach through December here in the Northeast.
The 13.5s were like 2600 so I figured I'd go with the 15s hoping they'll not work as hard.
