Hi Herschel,

It was nice meeting you when picking up our new snoozy. For anyone that hasn't met Herschel he has every mod made in his Snoozy. You should see his leveling system he installed.

Arlene and I love the Snoozy! Of course Alan and his entire staff were very very nice. We're now in Smoky Mountain National Park. Staying at the Foothills RV Park in Pigeon Forge. Nice place. We just hiked 6 miles of the Appalachian Trail. We're exhausted . I'll definitely post picks when we get home sometime this coming weekend. We're already conducting tours of our Lil Snoozy. The park owner says she's never seen anything like it and has been telling new arrivals to check out the space ship in lot 20

We head to Nashville tomorrow. Any recommended RV campgrounds near Nashville that are close enough to allow us to drive into Nashville daily for music and dinner??

We are home after a little over 2200 miles . Let me say first what I have said before Alan & Nicholas have the best service that I have ever seen in any field of endeavor . As you know if you have been following this , in the south west the 5000 BTU A/c was just not enough . So after talking to Alan I began a search for one that was larger in BTU not in size after looking hi and low I came up with the one that I have posted in an early post . 12000 BTU and just a little larger in size , When I arrived in snoozytown they jumped right on it taking out the old and in with the new. Needed cut out enlarged , had to run into town to get an brace , all in all about 3 hrs work . All the A/c problems are now taken care of . I am very happy Alan is happy he now has a few more options to offer , along with a roof air .
I think I could hang meat now . LOL

Hokey Smokes, Bullwinkle! I used to cool my entire 1400 Sq Ft home with a 12K window unit! It was minimal, but it worked. I expected better insulation in the Snoozy, based on the construction. 5K would be too small in a Scamp down south, quite likely, but I'm surprised it didn't work well in the Snoozy. I have a 225 sq ft guest house with a 5k unit, and you don't want to touch your tongue to the flagpole in there...

in the dessert you park in the sun , 5000 won`t get it , we spend alot of time there. where do you live ?

[DavArl]

After camping with our Lil Snoozy in Smoky Mountains and Nashville the last few days I can say the 5000 BTU unit is not enough to keep the Lil Snoozy cool during the day and that's not the desert. At night it was fine but of course the temperature went down to 75-80 at night. It has been between 90-97 the last few days.

Dave

are you to far away to return for an upgrade call Alan.

[DavArl]

We love everything about the Snoozy and I'll write more and post pics when we get home. I may talk to Alan about a/c upgrade when we might be thru SC next year. I just think in the middle of a hot day with the sun beating down the A/C can't handle it, but I'm sitting in the Snoozy in Brown County Indiana right now and loving it.

We stopped by the plant two weeks ago on our way to camp at Table Rock state park in SC. We wanted to see the 12000 btu ourselves. Looks like it will keep you very cool...but it's a little too big a unit for my needs. I will keep my eye out for an 8000 btu that can fit into the original ( or slightly larger ) opening. If anyone knows of one, please let me know make and model. We camped for 10 days and it rained every day! The snoozy was great and got a lot of attention. We got to use our new back door awning and like it a lot.
I'll be posting some pics of the remodel I did last month on the Boozy. Happy Trails

that a/c is made in a 8000 btu that is the same size as the one we got ,did you see the 12000 ? http://www.livingdirect.com/Soleus-E...efault,pd.html

[Gleam B]

I did see the 1200 installed in your trailer?

It looks like a nice unit.

I tried to join the web site last night but didn't get a reply in my mailbox. I'll try again later.

[DavArl]

I'd be interested in a 8000btu ac as well.

Enjoying life in the slow lane

[Gleam B]

I'm upping the ante....
now I want an 8000 btu unit, similar size to original that HEATS as well!

Any ideas are welcome.

Ok with new website. Sounds like a good idea.

Dont know about that you will proubly haft to go to an 9000 roof air / heat strip , maybe put a window or stained glass where your a/c is now . I think Alan knows where to get the roof air.
