I am planing to add a second ac unit to my 29RLI. This will be installed over the bedroom which currently has a fantastic fan. It is prewired for 110V according to the sticker on the electric ceiling outlet cover. I know that I need a 13.5 unducted model. But which make is best ? I have been looking at the Dometic Brisk Air II. Any suggestions ?

We just had a Coleman 13.5 non ducted installed in our bedroom and are very happy with how it has performed in the heat and humidity the last couple times we have been out. We can now fire up the generator when we are about 30 minutes away from our campground and have it be nice and cool by the time we get there. It also is great to just leave the fan on low for the bedroom unit while we sleep and let it run all night. That really seems to keep the outside noise to a minimum.

This is what I did about a month ago:http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25262

As far as operating - it works well, reasonably quiet and best of all, the DW is happy:D. Unfortunately the price keeps going up and up for that a/c on Amazon. Height wise - the 5er is now at ~13' 1" hooked up to the TV and loaded for travel or about 4-5 inches higher then delivered. Brand - looking at reviews, they all seemed about equal. The Coleman was not as available nor as competitively priced when doing my search, being 2-300 dollars more for the same 13.5 Btu output.

I had the Dometic Penguin II 13.5 non ducted installed in our bedroom and we are very happy with it. It is more streamlined than our main 15k Dometic and I like that on the front (bedroom). It cools the bedroom and MORE. Really helps cut down the heat when first setting up. Last night I picked a park (unknowingly) right beside the interstate full of semi traffic. I'm a light sleeper so turned on the bedroom AC and slept away.
