Heating and A/C

I'm ready to buy my roof top AC / heating unit. We are restoring a gutted Argosy and will not be adding duct heating or propane.

Any recommendations for a good quality AC/heating roof system? What brands to stay away from, which ones are better, etc.?

Using an AC to heat the trailer, basically, is not a good idea, except to take the chill off.

The maximum output from an AC heat, is 5600 BTU.

The furnace provides 30,000 BTU.

Plus, the furnace runs on 12 volts DC. The AC is strickly 120 volts AC.

A good regular AC, also saves you money over a heat pump, and your electric bill.
