I used to work on the 60s gas fired absorption chillers and you wouldn't want one on your rv roof! I think a 4T unit weighed 1200+ lbs. You wouldn't want the repair bills either when they break. It took days to clean up after a blown solution pump! It was VERY hard to diagnose if they needed solution, ammonia, inhibitor or whatever and it was a long process to get all the ingredients balance exactly right. None of the diagnosing process could be rushed. The most I could do was 2 gas/air jobs in a day compared to 6+ regular AC service jobs. Those Arkla and Bryant gas/airs were a big thing in areas where gas was dirt cheap. Craig
