I think I have read all of the threads on installation of RecPro houghton A/C units, but would like to hear from folks that have been using them for a while.
I have a Bigfoot 21 foot model and the Dometic Penguin 11.5K BTU has apparently leaked out the freon. It is a 2008 model and In 2022 I installed an Easy Start unit and it worked well after that, Only made one trip in 2023 (long story, not worth telling) and this year I have already been to Lake Charles LA and that is when I discovered the A/C unit was not cooling. No lights on the Easy Start so its working normal, compressor is running and gets rather warm, suction line MIGHT feel cooler than ambient temp by a degree or two, hard to tell. This unit is loud, so I'll be eager to see it go actually.
I thinking the best choice is to step down to the 9500 BTU Houghton, but want to see what others say.
