If your current model has a separate control box that the upper unit plus in to (more common than not), it will work fine with a new unit. Some models have the electronics installed in the unit itself- that will take a bit more work.
The BA II has a center discharge, like the Penguine, and the old BA has a side discharge. About the only time this make a difference is in Newmar products, which have ducted return. Standard installs are no problem.
I really like the BA II- they are lighter, have better air flow, and are quieter. That said- I like Coleman/RVP just as well- I just don't like their distributors, which has no real consequence to the end user (if someone comes in and wants or needs a Coleman, I have them buy it from PPL and have it shipped to me, and I install it for them).
