Is changing to a quieter AC worth it?

[BigSwick]

Kicking around the idea of changing the AC to a quieter brand.
Would it be worth the cost? Down here in the sunny south, the AC runs quite a bit. Considering the Truma Aventa or the RecPro by Houghton, or ?? And if I could find a 9500 btu that is quiet, would that be enough AC for a hard side without slides? Thanks.

It appears that the Aventa requires 230 volt 50 cycle. It maybe for European RVs.
The RecPro model i looked at is 120 volts but draws 14 amps.
And the RecPro specs state the db at 59 - about the same as a Honda 2000 generator.
The "standard" truck camper AC such as the one on my Arctic Fox draws 8 amps.
You'd pretty much need a 50 amp hookup if you're running a larger RV.

"Worth it" is up to you. How bothered are you by the noise it currently makes?

Think about the noise while you're looking at the price tags on new units. Better yet, sit in the camper with the AC running while you're shopping for new units on your tablet/phone/pc.

If you are thinking "I can swing that," then go for it.

If you kinda scrunch up your face and say, "Naaaaaaaaah...." then wait another year.
