oh tell me more about this AC, as in brand and model number..
It's a Dometic Penguin II that came OEM with our truck camper. Model number is 640310Cxx1C0. Some literature says it's a 10k BTU, others say 11k BTU. Typically this info is stenciled on the compressor housing, but it's not specified on our unit.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this unit. On the up side, the outside shroud has a nice streamlined, stylish look. On the down side, it's noisy as heck and relatively inefficient. It draws 11-12a (I believe the LRA is approx. 55-56a) . There's a number of more efficient 13.5k BTU a/c's that draw the same 11-12a with a lower LRA. If it fails at some point we'll probably replace it with a 9.5k BTU RecPro.
