All I can say is Carrier tried to penetrate the RV market and they ARE a BIG Daddy in AC systems. They failed miserably. I have worked on just 1 Atwood. Why? Because NOBODY uses them at the OEM level on the dozens of RV's I work on. Same with Carrier. I worked on a few that some of the OEM's we sold used them and I was NOT happy with how they functioned and poor level of support from Carrier RV division. It did not take long for most OEM's to drop Carrier. Sorry you felt I "threatened" you. Not my intention. Just trying to get info and the problems that may happen so you could not say, I wish I had known about this. Maybe Chris can chime in. I know of nobody that has really worked on the Atwood AC's. Just see that IF they were a great thing OEM's would jump on them and use them. That is another problem. Since there are very few Technicians that have worked on them getting Service Centers to do any warranty work will be difficult. What happens if they do drop the Atwood like Dometic has told me? Look at the posts from people trying to get parts for their Carrier AC units. I deal with Dometic weekly and I was told that they purchased Atwood to slowly drop them from the market. They have thousands out there that need to be sold. After 50 years I doubt both RVP and Dometic need to purchase another Brand AC company to "learn" something. Doug
