Best Air Conditioner!

I installed a new Brisk Aire II and it only lasted two years before losing its refrigerant.

Further research has revealed that these units have a known problem with bad welds in the condenser.

Anyone have suggestions for a reliable brand/model? I need 15K BTUs, not interested in heat pumps or heat strips.

Atwood, apparently, is also owned by Dometic who made my current defective Brisk Aire.

AtWood is now owned by dometic yes but the air conditioners are still made in Australia. At least mine was that I bought mid 2018.

It works magnitudes better than the Dometic 2016 model that came with my trailer. It is much quieter, much colder and blows air much further inside the trailer.
