RevKev5064

Granville,

Two of them have failed already.  They work but they do not cool or heat.  I am headed into the summer in North and South Carolina and I am afraid to trust just one unit that is the same age as the other two failed ones.  Also, I am concerned about having different thermostats and all of that.  If there is a better way, I am all about it.  I am not excited to spend $5,000.  

Honestly, I am kind of disappointed in the whole experience.  This is the newest and most expensive RV I have ever owned (by a LONG ways) and it is the first one that I have ever had a failed AC on.  I expected better.

Thank you all for the valuable input.  This is what I have concluded based on all of the advice:

I am going to purchase three Penguin II 15k with Heat Pumps and two MicroAir thermostats (I already have two on the current AC units - I will make a heck of a deal).  I am going to set the dip switches to match what I currently have, which is three zones.  I should not have to replace the current wiring - plug and play.  Also, I should not have to mess with the intake vents or the distribution box on the inside, just use what I already have.  On my coach, there is a beautiful wood trim ring around the vent in the front and the one in the back with a much less beautiful distribution box in the center.

It should be a relatively simple install with no cutting, welding, wiring, etc. - Correct?

Thanks again.

Frank, thank you for getting back to me so quickly.  A fourth zone is an interesting question.  How would I know?  My thermostats only control zones 1 thru 3.  I have one thermostat in the front that controls zone 1.  I have a second thermostat in the bedroom that controls zones 2 and 3.  I am unaware of a fourth zone.

I am going to replace my three Penguin AC units with Penguin II's.  I also have an Aquahot 450D.  I think that I have made the decision to upgrade to the CCC2 10 button thermostats.  Do I need to do anything with the Aquahot?  I know that setting for zones happens in the AC units but am unsure if I need to do anything with the Aquahot.

Thank you!
