Replace Roof AC units - 1992 WB40

[mbrund]

Yes it is ducted. And we believe that is what we will do at some
point, but we have never had all three AC units working at the same
time since we purchased the coach due to one problem or another (low
freon on rear unit, busted suction line on forward, now busted high
side on center). I finally had all three working this past two
weeks, and then the center unit popped its cork. So I will salvage
out these two as they have good compressors, electronics,
thermostats, condensors, fan motors, etc. as they work, just cracked
at the solder joints and I just don't want to mess with them anymore.

FYI, the current Dometic AC unit in the bedroom does not bother us at
night, it is quite enough and has just enough white noise to drown
out other items. But those Colemans we had on our other coach, no
matter what speed they ran they where too loud.
