Well being that I don't have confidence in trying to diagnose my problem with this A/C unit I decided because of the fact that we need to have it ready for a trip next week that I just bought a new unit... Figured if I ended up having it diagnosed then waited for parts etc that I would be pushing it so I just decided to get a new one. Upgraded to a 15k unit and will pick it up in the morning. Contacted Dometic and they stated that this will be a direct drop in unit to replace my existing and that it would be plug and play. They also said that I didn't need to change any of the lower parts just upper only. Since my unit is ducted they said everything will work. And also that this unit will push a lot more air with less energy and is quieter than the unit I had previously. So I guess all and all this was the better way to go. Final price out the door with tax and everything was $525. My service tech wanted over $800 just to fix my old unit and $1200 to replace it. To bad I wasted an Hours worth of labor for him to diagnose the problem.. Also they said that my old analog thermostat will work with this unit. Or I could buy an upgraded digital one for $90 that would also be plug and play..
