Review: Works great! Super cool! - I installed this in my Freedom 1620 pop-up camper. It's plenty powerful and keeps the camper cool in any heat. Unit isn't very quiet, but I expect that it's as quiet as you can be for something that close to your ears :) Very easy to install, just put a cable through the side wall and an outlet on the roof and it's basically done. Simple to use with the appropriate inside control.
Review: Motor Mounting Screws - This AC unit has a poor mounting design for the motor and fan unit. They use self-tapping screws threading into rubber grommets. The screws backed out after one hour of use and the fan jammed. I had to remove the top cover and remount the motor and fan assembly. Why they cheaped out and used screws instead of a bolt and nuts is beyond me. For the price of this unit, you would think they could afford three bolts and three nuts.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could a roof top rack be installed so that a kayak could be carried over the air conditioner (i.e. rack is over 9.5" inches high)?**
A: the installed height of the penguin is roughly 10"  sounds like it would be close.mark

**Q: Will 750 kcmil cable be big enough for the 410 amps?**
A: Where is 410 AMPS coming from???? NO...NO 410 amps...this unit draws about 12 amps running and start-up or in-rush spikes at about 30amps

**Q: What kind of inverter is needed to run this ac unit(13500btu)at full capacity?**
A: The unit 'runs' at about 13-15 amps...that puts the wattage draw at 1560-1800. I would go no smaller that a 3000 with at least a 5000 peak just for starting. It will use up battery pretty quick. I had a similar set-up in my boat with a 'marine air' system running off a 3600watt inverter with 3-12VDC deep cycle batteries. I could run the A/C for 4-5 hours away from the dock then I would have to plug in or crank the gen set

**Q: what is the size of roof opening required?**
A: Hello,All RV AC units use a standard 14x14 roof vent opening. Thanks, Family RV Center 727-389-0134
