Not knowing what it's power draw is, can't comment on that. But cost, apparent lack of local service/support (mostly a european item, correct?) and does it have enough cooling power (for lack of a better word) since it only cools at most about 20deg F.
But I understand these considerable "upgrades" to your camper and truck are more of a hobby and not necessarily based on ROI, so go for it!
Interested to hear how well it works.
Edited my first post as I managed to find this
unit for the US. It looks to be pretty close to the same thing but for the US and has the following specs:
- Cooling capacity: 9,000 BTU/H with 8.5 EER efficiency
- Heating capacity: 9,000 BTU/H with 2.6 C.O.P.
- Voltage: 110~120V, 60Hz, 1Ph
- Operational Temperature Range: 19 - 104°F
- Pre-charged with R410a refrigerant and ready to install
One downfall I see is the heater is not propane powered so it may not be very practical for extended heating if pulling off batteries. We usually turn the furnace off at night anyway and might just change to a diesel heater or a Mr. Buddy heater type setup to mitigate that.
Yes, the upgrades are a bit of a hobby and to try something different. It also has utilitarian use as I will be using the camper a lot for cross country trips.
