Best low profile roof top A/C unit???

[hotstuff]

What is the best low profile A/C, Furnace combo on the market? Making a budget for my 1969 project- 27' Overlander. Thanks

With Carrier having exited the marketplace the Duo-Therm "Penguin" is the only low-profile unit available.

I am not aware of any combined furnace-A/C combos. The Penguin is available in a heat pump configuration. I have one and do not recommend it due to the low heat output and high noise.

We have a Duo-Therm Penguin. It is a nice unit. Havent' had much occasion to use the heat pump though.

You can also consider the Coleman low profile Polar Cub. I thinks it is cheaper than the Penguin--some say it is less noisy as well.

I agree it is noisy, but I don't understand the low heat output comment. Last week we stayed in Northern Kentucky. It snowed and was right at 32* all night. My heat pump kept the thermostat setting at 69*. The furnace never kicked on. Maybe that is too cool for you, but 69* with an electric blanket is perfect for us.

I'd recommend the Penguin.

Do you really think a 9,000 btu air conditioner will keep a 27' trailer cool when a 13,500 btu unit struggles to keep one cool?

My Penguin has been reliable. I have the 11000 BTU in my 25' its adequate not ample. If I were replacing it, I'd go to the 15000 BTU for my use in the southwest.
