G'day,
I get a weekly email from AdventureRV of items on sale and this week it included a 13,500 BTU roof air for $419.00 including the
inside ceiling part.
Here's the Tiny URL link: http://tinyurl.com/me26bcv

For another $46 you can get the 1500 Watt strip heater.
I was really impressed with this price until I read this:
"These unit have but are not limited to a dented pan."
Which was followed by the specs on the Brisk Air II.
I sent them an email noting that their ad was most disappointing as the "dented pan" info was buried in the text and NOT in a
prominent place PLUS providing the spec for the original Brisk Air unit followed by the Brisk Air II was deceptive advertizing.
I purchased two of the original Brisk Air units from them several years ago and ran into a shipping problem. One had been dropped by
FedEx and the pan was bent. John Sharpe and I disassembled it, straightened the pan, and reassembled it. However, it still seemed to
vibrate quite a bit. I took it to Channel View RV and filed a warranty claim and they replaced the fan and motor assembly so it
works fine.
These units are made in China and the control knobs are attached to the roof unit and they don't align well with the ceiling unit.
You can turn the controls no problem but they don't look right.
Basically this is a scratch and dent sale and having said all this I reckon if you contact them and order one contingent on them
revealing EXACTLY what is wrong with specific unit you will receive (if they will do that) it is a good deal.
Bottom line: CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!!

I have the 13,500 heat pump version. Works well, I like it. No strip heater though, and below about 40 degrees ambient the unit shuts off. Great for cool nights, but you still need the furnace for the cold.

Is that the gizmo that's supposed to prevent a fire when the evaporator
tubes spit flaming ammonia?
What are the voltages with the thermal fuse out of the circuit? Might be
the same.
