Thank you sir

I’m sorry to hear that you had this experience Travis. I know many people who have emailed premier products and they will immediately send them the correct size bolts with their units. They do have the correct size for 5th Wheel and motorhome roof. The bolts that come with it are typically for vans or Airstream And smaller travel trailers. They’ve been great to me and to my viewers.

Seriously

Exact weight unsure. Roughly 500 lbs likely. I used a couple different sized mppt controllers. 2 150/60 and a 150/35

The AC units are rarely used? To service you’d need to remove some panels

Outstanding! I’m glad I could help

Thank you so much for this comment. This is why I do this channel. I want to help others as much as possible. I’m glad this helped you!!!

@@WhyNotRV ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼😁 I'm going to do the sink right now! I'll be watching again!! You're great!! Thanks!!

Great to hear!!!

That’s great to hear!!! Have you tried to put the unit into dry mode to help dehumidify?

@@WhyNotRV the instructions don’t explain what the dry mode is for but I will try it thanks

It’s a dehumidification mode

I haven’t personally noticed a difference there. The independent suspension of the airstream is already above and beyond other RVs. After the lift it still tows like a dream

😂 it is definitely a bit of experience and practice but there are a few tricks to get it right.

Noted

Need a temperature gun showing what the temperature reading is inside off the walls on the floor and what the temperature is coming off the unit

I’ll post a short today with that. Standby

Thank you for watching. Glad to help!!!

It doesn’t have great head pressure especially over a long distance. Short distance it does pretty good. But not sure exact specs

Even better. Yes you missed it lol. The Dometic is a 13,500btu unit. The gree is larger at 15,000btu

Premier products is the distributor I worked with and who you would go to for any issues. The Tosot does not work with you for any issues. No matter of its initial firment and parts to ongoing service, premier products will take care of you

They're literally identical. However Chris's videos seem to show a lower draw than the TOSOT ones. Theres also another one called an Atmos 4.4. However, Jared from AllAboutRv's is running the same unit as Chris and it has the same draw as the TOSOT. When Jared opened his up, he thought it was originally a variable compressor setup. However, it's not and he posted a second video clearing that up and putting a soft start on it. I wonder if some of the units somehow are variable and some arent? When you look inside, they're identical, just rebranded units. Eco-cool offers a "homemade" looking option for a ducted system, however i simply reversed the flow on mine and the ducts are now the returns, and the output is from the units themselves. Helps suck the hot air from the ceiling directly into the units for cooling. @WhyNotRv Can you possibly expand on this variable speed/not variable speed thing? Pop the top cover and see if it's all the same inside guts? Also, the distributor for these is in Elkhart, IN (camper capital of the world), not Ohio. 👍 @stevesadigap6275 The tosot units can be had for under $800 currently, so it's not even a comparison, and the heat pump means you get some good heat as well. I installed my first unit last Sat and it freezes out my bedroom in the camper, but the main toy hauler space is a few degrees warmer during the heat of the day. Bought a second one to swap that too, but just testing the first one out before doing it.

@@Warm_Pepsi I ordered the Tosot. I sent an email to Tosot and they verified that both units are built by Gree. Both have 2 year warranties. I also have to say the Tosot has been really fast in responding to my questions via email. It really comes down to who is selling them and what they want to charge. Premier products has chosen a higher price point. I was able to get the Tosot 15k btu non ducted for $809. and free shipping. Hard to pass it up at that price. It has the same low db ratings as the Gree unit, which is more important to me than power consumption. I'm not running on solar or batteries, it's either my genny or campsite hookups. We only care about the quiet sound, my 12 yr old Dometic is like a jet engine

@@stevesadigap6275 yep, only issue I’ve had with tosot was shipping; because they ship via FedEx. FedEx misdelivered (like to the wrong address l) more than once; and they had to send me a replacement unit because it literally never came. That atmos 4.4 seems to be the same but even pricier than the eco-cool branded unit. The ONLY complaints I have about this unit is… 1. The remote not updating when you change something via control panel or app. 2. The inability to see the room temp on the app. Like I don’t care if it’s set to 70; I know I set it there…. Tell me what the actual temp is…. Is it 85 and I need to run out and check on something or is it all good at 70 degrees?

I replied to your other comment so hopefully that answers your question

Right on premier products website they have this unit available on both a ducted or non ducted version.

Premier products is the distributor I worked with and who you would go to for any issues. The Tosot does not work with you for any issues. No matter of its initial firment and parts to ongoing service, premier products will take care of you

I’m sure they will but that’s where right now they can all 3 be online and operated from your phone whether you are at the coach or away.

There is definitely no argument against minisplits but for 99% of RVers this is the answer. I’m hoping the next year or 2 someone will come out with a true minisplit rooftop style unit and just DESTROY the market

Yes it just makes its way down the airstream like any other rv. No streaks at all as of yet. Coming up on a year of this installed.

​@@WhyNotRV Thanks. Most Airstreams today have pump from the A/C that drains through the trailer to under a tire. This is to prevent corrosion to the aluminum. Other RVs wouldn't care about the condensation draining outside because they are fiberglass, but for Airstream, this is a potential issue with chemicals mixed with the condensation. May be an issue to watch for.

Yes. So the condensation is just drained no pump. You could easily fabricate something to use that line if you really wanted to but there’s no chemicals in that water it’s pure clean water absorbed from the air. Nothing to worry about.

I appreciate that!!! And I would imagine 4 of these working together would be quite the machine!

@@WhyNotRV it gets really cold if you have them set to max cooling!!!

Oh I bet

It does a WAAAAY better job of cooling. The airflow in and out of the unit is totally separated. Watch the install video.

Agree. It's so easy to stick a digital thermometer in the duct. That's SOP for HVAC techs. Knowing the difference in ambient temp and cooling temp shows performance of the unit.

I will do that just for you guys here.

Sounds like a nice build you got going on! Sound like it the Gree is the answer for sure!!! I have a new video coming out today on it again as it’s just an amazing unit. Only 10 mins long. Posts at 4pm eastern so be on the lookout

I’ll say a few things here. First off, yes you’ll be fine. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and it has done great. Second, while airstreams are slightly more curved than other RVs, majority of rv roofs are curved, some worse than others but that’s why it’s a foam gasket. Applicable for all RVs

@@WhyNotRV Thanks for the info, now I just have to get it up on the roof!

Easier with 2 people and 2 ladders side by side. One step at a time

There’s a foam gasket that goes between the unit and the roof.

Everyone has different budgets. That auto slide is a bit much for a lot of people.

@WhyNotRV true you can find them used now though. Also I just adjusted the amount I could afford on the truck/trail to incorporate the hitch cost

Ya used market is great for buyers for that type of stuff. Just gotta keep an eye out and know what to look for

Thank you. The wiggle does not interfere at all. I’ve put it maybe 16-18’ tall to clear some trees. I’m still using the same setup. Nothing is change as of now

Yes

Correct

Yes. You can add an automatic transfer switch or a manual transfer switch to really isolate.

I did at one point with my heartland Big Country. Now I have 306 ah lithium batteries I built DIY

Great question. So the Victron xs smart is an amazing new product I’ll actually be doing a video on shortly. Short answer, Yes your van will handle it fine.

What makes you say this is bs?

Eco-Cool Gree Heat Pump Unit use discount code WHYNOTRV for $50 off your order ecocool.premierproducts.net/

I appreciate your opinion, it, like all products, provide a convenient solution. If it’s not for you, move on and do what’s best for you. This is a great option for a lot of people in a lot of situations

Little older couple who just want cpap and tv overnight? This is a perfect solution for that example among MANY others.

I appreciate the comment. At the time of this video that was the information I had

The eco-cool unit takes anywhere from about 800 to 1200 W mainly. A 12 V system works just fine. That’s what I have in the Airstream. The only reason you want to go to a 24 or 48 V system is if you were doing a larger build with Solar and maybe dual inverters. 99.9% of RVs can be 12 V configuration all day long.

Thank you and was there a problem starting it I saw a few people comment

No. It starts no problem.

@@WhyNotRV Thank you 🙏

@@WhyNotRV oh and the Eco cool does it really have a heater in it as well… and also does it have a fresh air only fan?

Yes exactly. They do have outstanding customer service and support but I don’t feel they can justify the cost of those batteries. It’s crazy how much they charge for what you get

I appreciate it!!!!

Thanks for watching. First, the Victron Multiplus or Quattro are what convert DC to AC. In this rig I have the multiplus-II, it starts and runs this unit no problem. Second, to answer your question about 12v, 24v or 48v I need to know a lot more about your build. I have videos that talk about all this stuff. czcams.com/video/ZlvN7gbsiqk/video.htmlsi=0kQtZa_W4kBXQPCe

With the 3 inch lift you really don’t add much. But yes absolutely depends on where you go with your rig. The absolute lowest point on it is 9” above ground level

At least it's a lower depth than the Onan 2500. I like the dual-fuel aspect of it - and if I can (I know I could) set it up to auto-start off a multiplus 3000 low battery signal, that would make winter boondocking so much safer. I'm currently using a manual generator in a tent (to protect it from snow and rain) at that time of year.

@@WhyNotRV Oh, and Hi - Ian here, BRN 8118 (same number if I roll the airstream) - hope to see you on the road!

Ya it’s really a great machine. Ya I have it auto start off low voltage or state of charge. Peace of mind overnight.

It’s truly amazing

That sounds absolutely awful. I know when I worked as an HVAC technician I kept the can of wasp spray for that exact reason but anytime I would open up a cover and things would fly on me. I would takeoff running lol glad you got the new unit in and running. Thank you for the comment and using my code. I would bet if you reach out to the company they will send you a white replacement shroud.

Chris, I’ve had the GREE running for 24 hours. It is warm here in KY, but I’m not seeing the cooler temperature that I was hoping for? At the register it is blowing about 60 and the outside temperature is 87, the camper is 79. What temperature are you seeing from your GREE? Thank you for responding.

Standard air conditioning pulls “20 degrees” so you’re right where you are supposed to be.

I appreciate it. I take all criticism and appreciate all inputs. That definitely never crossed my mind mainly because my thought process was to have plenty of airflow underneath the panels so that I’m not trapping any heat as well as an airflow can just blow right underneath of them for crosswind situations.

70mph down the highway for a couple thousand miles. 80mph crosswinds in southern Wyoming … no shifting, not an issue whatsoever

Absolutely!!! Thank you for watching

Good to hear!!! Thanks for watching!

This is an older install. I have newer videos with inverters having transfer switch built in as well as others including a transfer switch. Easy to add and definitely the better way. Thank you for watching!!!

@@WhyNotRV Thanks for the detailed content!

I appreciate it
