I have been through all 4 of my Dometic basement units. Two of them required new compressors. My observations. :
These units are nothing more than roof top units with longer refrigerant lines and separate fans. Gordon (aka) Bestgenman actually used a rooftop A/C and reworked it into a split unit.
My Newell doesn’t have aqua-hot or lp furnaces. It has electric resistance heaters mounted in-line after the evaporators. They are not sufficient for extreme cold weather…. No problem. I have no plans to camp in extreme cold!!!
If I ever give up on the Dometics I will look seriously at mini-splits because without aqua hot or lp furnaces I have more bay space than other coaches. And I really could use the heat feature of a mini- split.
