What is the average lifespan of a rooftop A/C unit?
Our bedroom A/C has stopped blowing cold air, just blows room temperature. Motorhome is a 2012 and we've full-timed for 6 years so we've used it the whole time. Thanks in advance.

One is how often you use it, in 14 years other than two long term stays in Canada when I first retired I don't think I used them more than a dozen times. The second is how often do you stay at RV parks that have low voltage when the AC is running, I think this may be a bigger factor. 95 % of the time I dry camp. When people on here have to replace a unit is it always because the tubes are leaking? Or is it a compressor or something else that goes?
Anyone else notice a trend here? Older units working great, newer units being replaced. Pretty much indicative of where the industry is going. You could probably draw a line in time where Dometic took over the roof top AC industry.
Just for giggles, include your AC mfg. Mine are Duotherm.
