How can I tell what size AC I have?

[ScottG]

We ordered a 15K BTU AC with on our TT but how do I verify what I got?
I've taken off the inside filter covers but there's no info there. I'd take off the shroud but there's a solar panel affixed to the ttop of it and unless I have to, I don't want to mess with it.
The manual that came with it just states it an AirXcell 48000 but I *think* it could be either a 13.5 or bigger.

Thanks in advance.
Scott

On MOST Air Conditioners if you remove the ceiling cover and look UP you will see the informational label on the bottom of the upper unit.

On the rest it's on top.

I should add that this is a VERY reputable dealer but I don't trust anyone..

"Reputable" doesn't mean what you think it means.

How do you know what I think it means?
BTW, it means respected and trusted by most people : having a good reputation.
This discription describes this company precisely.
It doesn't mean I totally trust a company.

So please enlighten me.

Well, what is it!?!? As Ronald Reagan once said, "trust but verify".

It says Mach 15!
But I don't think it has any heat pump feature - which is fine.

Cheers,

My motorhome came from the factory with the correct 15k heat pump and a air-conditioner-only thermostat. I think it's valid to verify everything.

Good idea to verify...If like mine, take off inside cover and look up. Be careful undoing. Plastic

Also with their crowned roof gasket on top is sure mashed down compared to down hill side. Matter of fact, the tightening screws were so tight, almost torqued head thru bracket. Next good inspection I just put in flat washers and problem solved.

Other odds and ends to double check...dig thru the NW web site or send me PM and I'll pass on what all I check or did on mine. Great RV's but still put together by humans. I no longer belong to web site, but I think they want $10.00 a year.

I'm the guy you sent PM to about foam cushion store you like, about year ago, as memory jogger.

I have a feeling the best use of your time would be in going up top and getting the serial and model #'s off the unit and putting the question to bed.
Not being snarky, but,,,,,Would anything else satisfy you at this point?
The question is in your head, how else can you eject it?

To be more accurate, I don't trust dealers much. Wasn't meant to be a dis to fellow forum memebers.
Just looking to find out where the markings are in order to confirm rating - that's all.

And that was my point. Since you had not found those labels inside the TT I assumed you would have to take everything apart up top.
Was not trying to be snarky. was an honest/ernest question.

I think you were on the right track, removing the filter cover. Ones I've looked up into have this info, but can be hard to see. On current FW, with Dometic 15k, it seems they were trying to hide the info. I get on a 3 step ladder, get my nose in there, and use a bright flex able LED piston light for viewing.

I had a white wire drop into view, that was taped off. I did find where it came from, but no place for it to go. Maybe for a different stat, IDK, but AC has worked great since new.

Hope you find the answer,

Jerry

1. The RVP manual packet should have a pull out sheet stating the Model and Serial number
2. If you pull the inside filter housing down you will see the Model and Serial number on the silver metal mount tray in front of the evaporator
3. The solar panel should have a quick connect for the 12 volt wires. AND most panels will just lay off to the side after removing the top shroud mount screws.
4. Why is it a concern? Inadequate cooling? If so, what is the length on the RV and how many slide rooms?
5. IF you have the 32 foot Silver Fox with a slide, a 15k is NOT going to cool your unit in hot weather. Units above 26 foot need 2 AC units.

Taking the top off isn't that hard. It's easier with two people but can be done single as well. Once in there, you'll see the ratings plate.
