Thanks for the replies, I am about 3/4 qtrs finished with mods I needed to install the new unit. I will post how it all went, and also any differences I find in how they run in comparrison to each other. If I had realized in advance that the Microlite 2800 was no longer being made, I might not have placed the order. Cummins did not mention it, and when I ordered, I did ask if the unit coming would be exact replacement for all of my hookups, and they said yes. The people on the phone obviously are not up to speed on the products they are selling. All of this got started because after having to put $1300.00 in repairs to my unit in February while snow birding in Florida, and within weeks of that I still had the same issue arise again. After getting home in the spring where I could do my own work I pulled it out and took it to Cummins, saving all of the labor. Pulling this out of a B and reinstalling is labor intensive, and that was most of the cost in Florida. Well, as it turned out they wanted another $1700.00 for parts and diagnostics to repair my unit. I decided I did not want to have $3,000.00 in a 9 year old unit, so I ordered the new one for $2152.00. Then when it arrived, my choices were to modify my stuff to make it work, or end up with 3 grand in an older unit. Time will tell if I made a good or bad choice. If the new unit lasts for how ever many years we have our Roadtrek I will be happy.
