Hi all,
We were originally going to sell our 2011 BH this year and get something different, but I think we're going to wait another year or two until we see something that really jumps out at us, floorplan-wise, before making the switch.
In the mean time, we suffered through a lot of heat last summer and I don't care to do that again without a second A/C unit.
I called Heartland customer service and they put together the following quote for me:
Pn 55594 Dometic Penguin 13.5k BTW Low Profile A/C unit: $1,263.15
Pn 12446 "Relay" (whatever that is): $114.00
Pn 11968 "Box" (I assume this is the inside part of the unit: $115.05
Total: $1,492.20
These prices are before the HOG members 10% discount, but also before shipping, so I figure that will be a wash.
Has anyone added a second A/C after purchasing their unit? If so, which unit did you get? Is 13.5k BTU really necessary? I want to create a "meat locker" environment in the bedroom, and really want a unit that doesn't freeze up a lot. $1500 seems way expensive for a second unit. My RV is supposed to be prepped for second A/C, so I thought all I needed was the actual unit? I currently have a fantastic fan with wall thermostat in the bedroom.
Any help here is appreciated. I see I can buy A/C units on other sites for about half the price, but don't want to make a mistake and order the wrong thing. Is there any reason it's so expensive from Heartland, and, do I need this "relay"?
