I live right down the darn street from these folks and they wouldn't even let me stop by (called them on the phone and emailed) to check things out. They wanted to sort out all the details over the phone, which is fine, but I'm 'right' down the road literally, and they didnt want to work with me so I didn't bother to prusue further. The units looked too expensive to me, to just "trust" that they would work that well. -tim

We also have a 12volt unit on the MH along with a refrigerated unit and we much prefer the swamp cooler if we're in a area where they evaporate.
