Question:
I have a 2016 RPod 171 and would like to swap my AC out with a new Heat Pump that is quieter and heats as well. Thought on what would be the best option for lower DBA’s?

Hello Steve,
For a 13,500 BTU air conditioner for your 2016 RPod 171, I would go with the Furrion Chill HE Low-Profile RV AC System w/ Heat Pump – Single Zone – 13,500 Btu – White – R32 # FR86AD. For the black version, use # FR76AD.
At Indoor: 60 dBA and Outdoor: 61 dBA, this is going to be your quietest option. Furrion has really upped their game when it comes to making their systems quieter.
They also have a new 18,000 BTU air conditioner-only unit, it’s crazy how quiet it is.
What kind of awesome adventures do you have planned for the summer, where are you headed?
