Air Conditioner Recommendations
Air conditioner died on my Eagle Cap 1160 truck camper. It was a Coleman Mach 3 from 2008. So, time for a replacement. I ran the previous A/C off a Honda 2000 for years and then off the Honda 2200....

I would stick with a Coleman with a soft start kit. WHY? Well in a good way Colemams suck.. most if not all the others blow. By that I mean the Coleman/Air-Excel sucks air in through the condenser coil so if you are parked under the tree in cottonwood season you get a nice blanket of wood-cotton all over the condeser making it not work so well. And there's other types of "Crud" that build up as well.
now Remove 4 screw/bolts lift the cover off. peal the condenser clean replace over and 4 bolts job done.. (Take about as long to do as it would you to type it out)
Most others. closer to a dozen screws
Then after you remove the cover still more screws or other fasteners
Remove the inner cover over the condenser. not always and easy job
In my case I had to remove the fan (Big hands)
Then I could clean the beast.
And reassemble. and reseal
That took a lot longer to type.. but the job takes longer still.
