Well after 30 years of goods service my aft heat-A/C unit died today. It is a 12,000 BTU (Unit is painted blue) Marine Air unit. I also have a fwd unit that is 9,000 BTUs. Marine Air is now part of Dometic. (Joy Joy).
After I found a company (non-marine) here in SW Washington who was willing to work on it. Kevin at Performance Air. They work on large farm equipment and cold draw units for emergency units like ambulances. Good friendly folks.
After contacting the regional Dometic rep, it was determined the switching valve is bad which means unit replacement. $4500.
It will be shipped to me, the performance Air will install it and service it. Good thing right before winter gets here.
Should be good for another 30 years??
