Thanks for the information on the Gree units, I didn't even know that they were available. I haven't done a real deep dive on them yet, but it appears that the inverter is only used for starting and it's not a truly variable speed unit. I've always thought the RV AC manufacturers could learn a great deal from the mini-split manufacturers, this is a giant step forward in my opinion. The true variable speed residential units modulate the compressor speed, refrigerant flow and blower speed. There seem to be more manufacturers getting into this market which I think is great; should spawn more innovation and competitive markets. Seems like Coleman and Dometic are about the only widely used OEM units and I question if a particular unit is chosen for it's quality or just the lowest bidder.
