A/C ShootOut (bang bang)

[tyhardiman]

My recommendation is Atwood Air Command for both criteria. I have found no quieter unit, and noise was my top priority when I purchased.

On the other hand, Having a Big unit on top with wind drag is not my thing.
It is your coach and your $ so it is all up yo you.

We have the Air Command on our coach and it is set up using the non-ducted plenum. I'll second what Ty says, it cools extremely well, and is
surprisingly quiet. We just returned from a trip down to Big Bend, and I'll add that it was nice to have the heat pump option on that unit. Being a
desert climate, we would run the AC during the day to keep cool, then the heat pump at night once temperatures dropped.

FYI: The part# for the non-ducted Air Command (in white) is 15026, and you would also need to purchase the 15021 non-ducted ceiling assembly....

I am also a fan of the Atwood with the heat pump. Extremely quiet. And if you put it on auto, it will cycle through the 3 speeds until it reaches its
programmed temperature. or set it to low, mid, or high and let it do its thing. When the compressor kicks off, the inside fan stays on. So you will
have the same inside ambient noise level.
But it is full size, If outside drag while driving concerns you. One Atwood 15k should be plenty for a 23 foot GMC.

Jim is right, the Air Command is much larger than the modern low profile units. I believe the Coleman Low Profile units are are about 8" tall, I just
measured my Air Command at 14.5" tall.

We have a very competitive pricing program on delivered price on all the
colman units. We ship all over the USA at delivered price. Same goes with
the Norcold Refrigerators.

Where did you purchase the Atwood? One of the websites camperpartsworld advertises a 15k w/heat pump for $671 each but at checkout shipping is $9.99.
Doing a search for reviews on this website exposes that shipping is charged separately by the shipper. I didn't see that information explained
anywhere on their website.
