Rooftop AC Units
We have a 40' fifth wheel with two older model rooftop AC units, but of them needs to be replaced. Any make & model recommendations would be greatly appreciated. We are full-timers and reside in Flo...

No make or model suggestions unless your units are Carrier Air V's
IF they are carrier Air V's. and IF YOU CAN GET THE ADAPTER KITS
Coleman makes a replacement rooftop unit that can be adapted to your existing controls (So does Advent Air but I have one of each and like the Coleman better)
This way you change NOTHING inside the RV.
Big if on the adapt-a-kit however.
Otherwise.. Most of them are more or less equivlent though Advent Air is made in China and is a witch when it comes to preventive maintenance.. I've not yet PM'ed my Coleman (it's too new) but from the exterior design I think it's going to be way easier.
On the Carrier.. when I went to clean the condenser every spring/fall.. I removed screws and other connectors
On the advent air I have to remove metal tape and bend tabs.. at least till I get around to screwing it......... together (Next cleaning more than likely) .
