Replacing Dometic 150000 btu roof AC unit
I have a 2004 R-Vision Condor and the roof AC has died. It is a Dometic 150000 btu unit and I would appreciate suggestions on a replacement unit. Anyone replace their unit and how did it work out?

Same make and model is a piece of cake.
Take digital photos of all the wire connections.
One or two buddies to help get it on to the roof and old one off.
Some plywood or old carpeting to set old and new unit on so you do not cut the roof material.
Turn off all AC power (breaker if isolated to one breaker) and unhook battery.
Detach wires coming in from thermostat and AC power.
Pull 4 bolts and lift out of opening.
Clean area and replace roof seal, carefully drop new unit in hole, re attach 4 hold down bolts.
Re attach all the power and thermostat wires as per above photo.
Flip breaker on and power up unit.
X2, I have done a couple and they were a piece of cake. The first one was a little more challenging, had to run a new thermostat wire into the wall which was a complete PITA. But I got it all wired up and working great. The latest one I bought off of ebay was $600 shipped to my door, and it is a dometic 13,500 BTU. The username of the guy on ebay is fresnorv. Tons of great deals to be had.
