I am having reliability problems and IMO the 11K unit is grossly undersized, particularly for southern camping (I live in Mississippi). I also do not care for the performance of the strip heater. It must go!

I am considering upgrading to a 15K Heat Pump but I am confused as to which unit would be the best for my 25'. Choices are: Duo-Therm, Carrier and Coleman. Cold producing capability, hot/cold controllability, interior noise and reliability are my major concerns. I plan to have this camper for a long time so cost is important but not my major concern. Any ideas and experiences would be helpful.
The new Carrier unit seem to be the biggest choice, perhaps because it has built in oscillating louvers, that really circulate the cool air in a superior way.
