@TheBurnsStuff 4 месяца назад

JD, I know I am one of those people that have been pushing for mini-split style AC/heat pumps in RVs. This has my attention, with caveats. What I absolutely HATE about current RV rooftop units is the changeover from HIGH to LOW speed and vice-versa. Why does the fan need to stop to switch speeds? These are the only systems that do this. Residential, window units, ducted split and mini-splits do not do this. If this comes in a heat pump system, ducted and solves the fan speed change issue, I'd be sold. I really, REALLY hope to see videos of you testing this.

@BigTruckBigRV 4 месяца назад

@BlueMax717 3 месяца назад

It's not ducted and wont be. Furrion specifically designed it not to be a ducted system. A lot of RVs are switching to this unit in the main areas of their RVs.

@brianalsum7706 11 дней назад

I’m building my own batteries and I build my pack to give me 24hours of ac run time with zero sun or charging. I’m in a small 19ft bumper pull. I’m looking forward to this unit as I’m not planning on shrinking my battery but rather just give me more run time. Most of the places I take my rig are only hot during the day and really when the sun is out. This unit will let me better match my power usage to my power production. This is now part of my modification plans

@dbkonkle 4 месяца назад

@roywall8169 3 месяца назад

Great idea.

@wcraft 4 месяца назад

This is a great step, that's overdue. Over the next 5-10 years as new RVs come equipped with these, and some older RVs convert, hopefully we'll see some reduction in the demand impact on campground electrical grids during peak heat days. Not to mention, making it more feasible and affordable to run your AC when plugged in next to your home. Exciting.

@austintysver7366 4 месяца назад

As person that is in the process of building an off grid electrical system for my camper, I definitely am interested in this. I have a 44’ toy hauler and if I could have this 18k unit in the middle and run it off my inverter while boondocking would be awesome.

@NTM2009 4 месяца назад

Ducted units spread the heat/cool evenly over camper. With direct dump your main room is cooler then bedroom or bunkhouse. As for old ones needing bigger generator, testing shows otherwise. We run our 5th wheel 15k unit on 2000 Honda inverter. Our 3400 champion inverter will run our camper plus unlaws camper at the same time. If they want to bring something to market that has had more questions about it would be a fridge that is comparable to the residential fridge for cooling but that will handle the vibration of a camper. Biggest pain is replacing residential fridges through removing slides

@michaelbezos2969 4 месяца назад

Guess time wlll tell. Being a retired I/E tech certified in HVAC I understand some of what Saint is questioning. Can you access the coils for cleaning or service? Being new. "could be" parts availibility limited. What refrigerent is being used. Efficency would be much better in older equiment if the third world refrigerents were not contaninated. Kills compressors & piping pretty quick. I do appreciate your videos always. Have learned much from your knowledge & suggestions for safe towing. Thank you!

@kathithompson5951 4 месяца назад

I am so interested in this. I live in my rv full time and I am hooked into a generator for power so something that doesn't pull as many amps on hard start would be awesome. I know you are going to test it and I am sure that you will do a video on it, I can't wait because my units are 8 years old so they will need to be replaced soon and I am really interested in this. Thank you for showing this.

@shearenergy8203 4 месяца назад

Way to go!

@chris31215 4 месяца назад

Wow, that's great, lighter inrush for load, AND variable load sheading so you can tailor it to your solar supply. The fact that you'll be able to drop down to a tiny one for the bedroom will also be amazing for solar load management. Did they say end of year for release?

@TheBizStarter2 4 месяца назад

We have one of these in our Brinkley and it's so much better then the last 15k we had. Quiet and indeed low draw for our battery.

@nickolisschaffer7976 4 месяца назад

We are looking to add a 3rd AC to our 41 foot 5th wheel because the two we currently have just don’t cut it. I might have to wait for this to be released and have this put in instead of the same thing we already have! Thank you for the info!

@mgkleym 4 месяца назад

Been checking for news on this product the last few months. Assuming its not crazy expensive I will be replacing the front ac on my 2001 class a motorhome with a chill cube. I have a non functional generac on board generator. The lower power draw on the chill cube means it should run comfortably off my multiplus and solar + alternator while in motion without draining my batteries. The forward facing direct dump is ideal for me because the hardest to cool area is the front cab with all its windows. I just wish it was a heat pump but I would be very surprised if that wasn't in the pipeline.

@jimlarkin1400 4 месяца назад

I would be interested in this and the 8k model for the bedroom, as long as they don't go overboard on the price

@CliffDiseker 4 месяца назад

@joshb124 4 месяца назад

I'm stoked to find this out. When its too hot or buggy to be outside it's annoying having to talk over the AC with friends and family. I have a fairly segmented camper, glad to hear they have a ducted version coming to market. Hope it'll have wifi. I use my easy touch stat to cool the camper down before we arrive.

@chris31215 4 месяца назад

The remote will probably be Bluetooth, but they have decent range now, but I like your thinking so you can 'remote' in and change your settings if your away.

Wow, it is amazing the tech that is coming to the RV industry. I wonder how long it will take before we start seeing these in the less, but not least, expensive models out there.

@Mikei97 3 месяца назад

I’ve been wondering why something like this hasn’t been available in the market for a long time now. Coming from PR, I’ve seen the power of the mini-splits. They’re efficient, which is great for the expensive and limited power grid and they get cold. It’s all people use nowadays over there and the middle class now enjoys AC throughout their home due to the affordability and effectiveness of this technology. The RV industry is about to experience this same revolution and it’s going to be great!

@bobevans6468 3 месяца назад

Would love the smaller heat pump version for the bedroom. Would get one immediately.

@JenniferWilliams-oc6pw 4 месяца назад

BOTH my Colman’s went out at the end of this past summer. My RV is almost 3 years old. Of course right at the end of the AC 2.5 year warranty. With it being winter, we haven’t replaced them yet, but will need to by June for sure. Would LOVE to replace at least my main living room AC with this new one! Any idea on when it’ll be available?

@suburbazine Месяц назад

at 1:58 they misspelled "privite study" on the tv video. but aside from minor spelling issues it looks like a real game changer for RV HVAC systems.

@sharimctiver8952 3 месяца назад

I would love to see how this performs in a van application and look forward to your testing on battery units. Will you be testing on the Bluetti systems? I have a AC300 with 2 B300 batteries on a RAM Promaster 159 window van in South Texas.

@myname7118 4 месяца назад

I've been in the planning stages for a solar and battery system for a 2 AC fifth wheel for a couple years. This could be the tipping point to get me in the game if they're not horribly expensive. The wattage for the 2 ACs pushes me away from victron inverters which causes a lot of other issues and is really the reason I haven't moved forward. Quick calculation, this would likely move me from a 6kva and 48v system to a 3kva 24v system. That also simplifies the solar array considerably.

@ouhike2 3 месяца назад

Better than a mini split? That is a bold statement! Mini splits are great in the RV world. If you know, you know!

@vandersnickmcduffle7333 4 месяца назад

@JeffinTD 4 месяца назад

I’ve been puzzled about why there haven’t been inverter/variable speed AC’s for RV’s. The ability to reverse like a heat pump for energy efficient non-propane heat would be nice.

@kevincassidy8131 4 месяца назад

Seems to definitely be a lot quieter. Hopefully this will work out and we can quit hauling a generator for overnight stops !!!!

@SuperSushidog 3 месяца назад

That sounds like a great idea. I currently have a soft start equipped 14.5k Furrion in the front of my motorhome that does an outstanding job of cooling, but it is noisy and not as efficient as I'd like. My main question is what is the seer-2 of this unit? This is important as we are FTers who are off grid, boondocking almost all the time. I have a 28.5 seer-2 mini split in the bedroom. It would be great if this unit or the coming 15k Btu one (which would better suit our needs) would approach that level of efficiency. My second question is does it run in reverse and heat efficiently too, as my mini split does? Thanks!

@rikosuavesito07 3 месяца назад

When will this be available

@barrytimm5497 3 месяца назад

It ticks MANY boxes for me. My primary surprise is that it is only ~40% more efficient than a regular old OE a/c. Many normal residential minisplits are 3x to 5x more efficient. I had a 37.5 SEER 230v 9k btu unit in my 5th wheel running 24x7x365 off my 1900w pv array and 7.8kwh LFP DIY battery for 4 years full-time living. But regardless of the efficiency expectation, this is certainly a game-changer!!!!

@paul65k 3 месяца назад

I think I heard him say that the 40% is at peak output........ the real savings will come when the unit is stepping down as the coach is cooled down....... I would expect that the numbers will be more like 60 - 70% compared a traditional unit..... only time will tell.

@thats_mr_b_ 3 месяца назад

Surprised they didn't open this thing to show us the guts. To me it's important to see that for understanding. But id this comes in a dump (for my loft) and ducted, I'll buy 3 since I now have 3 on my Brookstone by you JD.

@rickmartin3548 3 месяца назад

@dashedgehog 4 месяца назад

Great overview of a new to market product that could potentially change off grid A/C. If it had a reversing valve to also function as a heat pump, I think I'd be sold. That's the one area I believe a mini split still has the advantage.

@LestatXP 4 месяца назад

Hey, one big thing no one mentioned - It's an inverter, which should mean it can also blow heat in the colder seasons. What is its minimum outside temperature to heat the interior? My Rockwood A-Frame has a Heat Pump (an Inverter, but not digital speed control) and I love it (one of the best features!) because I don't have to run the propane furnace in the shoulder seasons when you need some heat in the RV. I can set it on auto and it will either heat or cool as needed. It will pull heat down to about 45F. Below that I either run the furnace or use an electric space heater.
