AC guinea pig...

So I called coldmaster this morning and the first two attempts were just to the recording and the third one I got a lady that was definitely Hispanic and just a bit hard to understand but not too bad and was very nice I can say that. She took down my phone number and said that I would get a call within 5 or 10 minutes. It took 20 but no big deal, it was Omar as always and very friendly and helpful with all of my questions...
Since I never had a system like this I wasn't aware of that the condenser and evaporator were under pressure when sent out. So I listened one of the plastic fittings and air started leaking out and I stopped and tightened it back down. Come to find out this is normal and to me it makes sense that if it's holding air that it's a good unit..
They give you a couple choices for clamps. 1 is normal hose clamps with a little tine that space is it correctly. And also they give you the sleeves but you need a crimp tool for that.. I'll see if I can rent or possibly take the hoses down and have them credit as I think that would give her much nicer appearance...
I think I am convinced now that I would like to mount this under the dash instead of my original plan to mount it in the back. I may have cost myself a little extra hose but no big deal. Going along with that hindsight I should have probably got prevented one with the controls on the face but again I'll be happy to have cold air blowing through there and it's all black and doesn't really stick out that much. I think in the future I'll just put four little round caps with the little vents on there and be fine with it...
