Looks nice. I've saved the link into my "win the lottery - build a new bus" folder. I'm sure that they will see business from the high-end builds.

If you do a lot of boondocking, you should consider one of these units.  https://www.turbokool.net

They will keep you cooler in a hot dry climate, but may not be enuf for the hottest of days.

I installed one (Turbokool swamp cooler) in my 57 Courier 96. It worked pretty good in the dry heat out West.

"Vibration smart compressor dampeners"... you need to hear one of these in operation before considering it. The new travel trailers and rv's made by Coachmen (Forrest River), use a lot of Furrion products. The company appears to produce American made products. Maybe you can check for reviews on them.

The You Tube reviews for the Furrion seem to agree that it's quiet. I'll have to see/hear one myself, but hopefully they will continue to produce a high-quality product without getting swallowed by Dometic.

The etrailer Furrion review seems more like a salesman's presentation. The reviews on Amazon indicate shipping and packaging problems, and customer service problems. What is needed are lots of reviews by people who have actually used it, and had good dependable results. I don't see any information about where it is actually made (in China?). Time, and other people's money will determine how good they are.  ::)

We looked at a 45 ft Berkshire Sat with the Furrion units they were not that quite to me the sales person told us they work fair in a group of 2 or 3 but not as a stand alone unit they replace with the Colemans for the AZ heat.Berkshire/Hathaway owns most of the entry level manufactures now like Forest River and others and are making pure junk IMO
