Dumb question about Carrier AC units

There are no parts available from Carrier. You can try and search, but there are parts only available from salvage type companies that purchased the inventory of Carrier and distributors that carried Carrier RV A/C parts. NOT worth fixing. RVP (Coleman) has a kit to adapt their RV A/C units to carrier and that is the way to go. Doug

My carrier is an 06 vintage. I cleaned the evaporator coil about a year and half ago. The plastic housings that snap together were about shot, lucky to get it back together without it falling apart in my hands due to brittle plastic. Will be time to replace if i ever have a problem unless its something easy from the inside. It will not take disassembly again.

Well, for the most part its not cost effective to repair any of them.
Only the most simple things are worth it... But they are all pretty reliable too. So I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

At this point i am not in need of replacing the AC. I had a minor problem last week and was able to get a used squirel cage fan blade and i'm back running. My question was where can a guy get parts for a Carrier now or if i'm S.O.L. next time. I can just hope and pray i don't have any more problems till i get rid of it.

Carrier got out of the business.. I have my suspiscions as to why.

In addition to the Coleman rooftop unit.. Advent Air makes one as well.

I replaced my Carrier Air V (13,500 BTU) with an Advent 15,000 BTU, same power draw.

The Advent adapt-a-kit requires you replace one molex connector on the Carrier Control box.. They include the connector and very clear instructions.

Not quite sure what the whole story is, but I have been told that Advent Air is a direct replacement for Carrier. All I can say is call them and see if parts are interchangeable. I do know that friends with the Advent A/C units say they are the best they have ever owned, just as the Carrier folks did.

Thank You, i'm trying to find out where i can get parts for the unit which is on an 05 trailer but not having any luck at this point. My next try will be call our local mobile rv repair shops for there input on getting parts.

I should have explained why i was asking. I wonder if parts are still obtainable?

NOT a stupid question!
