Replacing Air Conditioner - which one?
I have an 11 year old Dometic Brisk Air 15,000btu air conditioner in my trailer. For the past several years I have had to climb up on the roof, after the trailer has been sitting unused for 30 days o...

I have the Dometic "Comfort Conrol" digital thermostat which I like very much. I think I can keep it if I change out the control unit in the ceiling - that at least is what I was told. If not, I would get the new digital thermostat with it.
On my unit, it is the fan shaft that is freezing up with prolonged non-use. Moving it and lubing it frees it up until the next time it sits. I just got back from 4 months in Florida and the trailer is now in the barn until late June. I know I will have to get up on the roof again to free it so I want it replaced. Also, since the unit is 11 years old, with my luck, I could fix the motor, and then something else will go. I think I would prefer a new, modern, more efficient unit.
I think I am leaning towards the new Brisk Air II unit as it is almost a direct replacement for what I have and, with a control box fix, can work with my existing thermostat. Most places I have checked with sell it with the new digital thermostat though, so I would have a choice.
Thank you for all the responses so far. They have been very helpful. :)
