I did speak to Mike and he said the unit was almost equivalent in cooling to the 15K Penguin or 15K Mach 8. He said the unit is also available in a heat pump model which cools 6% less than the 15K...

Can you ask Mike how the cooling power stacks up with your 15,000 BTU Mach 8? The unit looks fantastic. I am hoping that the cooling will be enough to replace a Dometic Penguin II 15K unit on a LTV...

If the ARV unit is a Houghton Belaire Hb 3200 Caravan AC, I wonder how it compares in cooling power with a Coleman Mach 8 at 15000 BTU. I saw somewhere that the HB3200 is around 12000 BTU.

avanti,

If one has a Tivo Bolt at home, why use a SlingBox? Use the Tivo mobile app to stream to an IPAD. If you want to cast what is on the IPAD to a TV, use AirPlay with an AppleTV.

gregmchugh,

A Yamaha ef2000isv2 sips propane compared with an Onan 3600. Plus it is very quiet compared with the roar of the Onan.

You have an I4 engine. Is the Nations pulley system different for the 6 cylinder? I thought at one time it was but I am not sure.

Davydd,

Is ARV still staying with the Balmar regulator? I believe you said your regulator failed.

What happens on the road if the custom part that ARV is adding to the Delco alternator fails? ...

Frank sure implied problems with belts and cooling. The Balmar regulator monitors temperature and has a belt manager setting. So what is the problem with Nations alternators? Or is it like Frank...

Davydd,

I never said I wanted to camp in Austin. I merely used a pool as an example of no backup plan.

Yosemite has much higher elevations to spend time at.

Davydd,

How much would I be willing to pay for a backup system? I think the extra heating pads either 120v or 12v would be around $500. When the cost of an ARV is over $200,000, cost saving...
