We have the 8283SS and are very happy with it. We have only been out once and haven't used the air but have used the heat. It does seem to get a lot warmer in the living area than in the bedroom. The bathroom is really tight!

We have an 08' 8281 bunk house. The A/C is great but the heat in the front floor vent is not so good. Im planning on re-routing duct to bedroom.

We have a 2008 8280SS and have used both heating and cooling. No problems with either. Air conditioner and heater does fine throughout the FW.

We really like our 8280SS. Do an advanced search using "Radio" as author name and 8280SS as keyword and see the comments I have posted, plus I have some pics in the gallery
