Coleman AC Compatibility Help - Need to order quickly

Hello fine folks. I have a 2006 Keystone Laredo. Need to order a new Roof Top AC unit. Only issue is camper is at a storage lot several miles away, and I am not able to get the model numbers off the AC unit. I am hoping someone here can point me to a compatible (plug and play) unit so I can get a new one ordered.
Here is what I know for sure about the current unit: It is a Coleman "Mach" (I remember that from reading the owners manual a while back). I also remember "Chillegrill" written on over of manual. My camper has a ducked system. I have a manual Coleman wall thermostat. The unit is a 13.5 BTU. I want to upgrade to a 15k BTU. I'm ready to order if anyone can point me to a compatible unit! (also, can anyone tell me the best place, and best price, to order from? I found a couple 15k colemans on ebay for around $600 with free shipping. I only need the top unit.
Thanks in advance for the help folks.

    What do you mean by "only need to top unit?" It's all one piece pluse the inside grill and filter holder.

    I believe that all RV air conditioners are two piece units. The top piece, which mounts on the roof, contains the compressor, fans, etc. and the bottom piece, which mounts through the ceiling inside, contains the control unit, filter and ducting routing. The bottom of this inside unit has the grill that you see.
    When you purchase a new air conditioner, you must purchase both a top and bottom unit unless, as mentioned above, your existing one will work with the new one.
    I just went through this exercise a few years ago.

    PPL Motorhomes is a reasonably inexpensive place to order a new Coleman Mach 15, which will work with your inside assembly.
    They prefer to sell both assemblies though.
    If you have a friend with a business you can save a lot on freight.

    Watch who you order from if they use fedex its a good chance it will come in destroyed as fedex claims the ac units are to big for their belts
