I should say, I am planning on running my Dometic for at least another year or 2. It cools well, and in Northern NY, I can go without it much of the year.
I just cant stand how loud the Dometic is.
I agree with the comment about not being the first one to buy one, I dont buy 1st model year cars for that reason, and would definitely let these Furrion units have some real world testing for a couple years befire I felt comfortable buying one.
It looks like it is only Attwood and Fuffion marketing their units as low noise, and they both use separate motors for the condenser and evaporator fans, which makes sense to me.
Most of the Attwood reviews I find say the heat pump ones dont put out much heat and many were getting shipping damage.
Im not interested in a heat pump, just ac.
Anyone have an Attwood unit and have anything good or bad to say about it?
I replaced a Coleman unit on a class C motorhome with the Atwood Air Command 15k unit with the heatpump it is standard on it. The unit was much quieter than the Coleman but as it is a heatpump they can only remove so much heat from the cold it is how they work all done with a valve not running it in reverse. Anyway if you set thermostat for a temp that is what it puts out, so can see where that seems like it lacks on heat that and they are good down to a certain temp. then they become very questionable. I also replaced a Dometic Brisk Air II with a 13.5 Atwood Air Command and it too lowered the noise level a bunch. Less amp draw due to the two motor design and such. The Atwood design is not that new it was designed in Australia and used there so it puts up with a bunch of rough conditions so I would say it is a good product.
