All I can say that is bad is so far is the porch lights suck and the A/C is very loud. After three porch lights they are sending me a nicer one that I will have to wire up with a switch. I will just have to deal with the A/C.
Bummer! How can we help? :)

A quieter 9.2 a/c would be nice
What does LL say about the A/C?
Dagummit, another new member who has enough - nay, dare I say it, a surfeit (I won't say too much) of tow vehicle.
Where do they come from ?
I never asked I am assuming they are just loud. I works great just loud. But next time I talk to Don I will ask him.
Our AC is loud. The AC on both trailers we rented was the same AC. Loud.

OK I'll ask
I called LivinLite they gave me the number for the ac manufacturer I called. The man said if you have the six blade model they can sell you a three blade and will reduce the sound by 6 /8 decibels.
I have a six blade fan.
You must have good eyes to count them as they go around. For me it's all a blur and I lose count between 1 and 2.
wvabeer, we have the 9.2 BTU model and it is loud, always the loudest in the campground. Also, about the 6 to 3 blade change:
1. do you know if it also applies to the 9.2?
2. would the reduction of 6-8 dB make the change worth it?
3. would the blade change make the unit less effective in cooling (need the power for Texas summers :)?
Welcome ... sorry to hear of your issues hope LL or the AC manufacture takes care of you.

[font color="e6194e"]Six dB probably not noticeable. Even though it's theoretically reduced to 25% the human ear is not a linear device. You really have to get into the 10dB or more range to think it was worth while.[/font][font color="e61946"] Also, you need to determine if the majority of the objectionable noise is from the fan or the compressor. The compressor is the deeper rumbling sound. The fan change does not affect compressor noise.[/font]

[/quote]Thanks charliem! I'd go for 12 blades over Texas 8-)
6 to 8 db is alot I am hoping LL will get me one. And by the way more blades don't make more air. Pitch and horsepower gives you air.
I replaced the fan blade to a three blade and can say its half as loud. I also got tired of the factory sending me those CHEAP PORCH LIGHTS!!! They paid me 120 for my trouble of replacing those lights and I used the money to put what I wanted on there, a motion activated porch light. I had to change some wiring and ad a wall switch which livin lite gave me.
