Carrier AirV Air Conditioner Specs?

Bought a used (2009) R-Vision Trail-Sport (23') trailer with a Carrier Air V unit and I can't find any info on this air conditioner. I'm wanting to pick up a generator but want to know my needs first. Here's what I know:

The part number is one of these two (it's listed differently on the manual vs the registration card): 71RC6A54340 or 71LC6A5431A

It's 115V AC, 60Hz, 1 Phase

That's all I know for sure. Can anyone help identify this unit and/or provide additional info like BTU rating and what not. Thanks!
  • For the sizes needed for a rig your size, 13,500 or 15,000 btu, which in either case will need 3000 to 3200 watts on a genny.
    Now for the fun part, find the one you want.
    Inverter units will run basically from a
    Predator from Harbor Freight, 3500 watts $700
    Champion w or w/o remote start 3000-3200 $750 - $900
    Honda and Yam 2800 - 3500 $1800-$2000
  • I'm sorry but, I can't help you directly. I have a 1993 TT with a Emerson roof mount AC. They don't make them anymore either ! But, It works well so that I use it often. I was able to find out that some AC parts are interchangeable and if you ever need any I hope that yours are too.

    If it works, use it. Worry about it when it breaks.

    Have a nice Day.
  • I don't have much info, but have the same ac unit and it's been working great since 2005!
  • Carrier got out of the RV business about 10 years ago. Parts are really hard to find.
  • More than likely a 13.5K AC for that size rig, 3K watts would be required for reliable operation at most elevations.
