Replace Roof AC units - 1992 WB40

[Dan]

I replaced a dometic with a carrier heat pump in my 1981 FC but i didn't like
it. the carrier moves a lot more air and seemed a lot noisier even on the
lowest setting. i would be interested in your opinion on them after you get
them installed.
Thanks

Well I got them off. I purchased two Carrier AirV 15K BTU Heat Pumps,
I have had some internmittent issue with the Primus, so the heat pumps
give me heat without the need for Propane as long as the outside temp
does not get too low. They also solve the issues of having to replace
the dometic thermostats and get the special adapters to convert the
ribbon cable to RJ11 as they come with remote thermostats and a built
in head in the new lower unit.

If your lower units are like mine, where they match the ceiling
material, they are attached with four plastic push in retainers. I
will send you a picture from the side of the panel. The push pins are
located about 3 1/2" in from each corner.

To remove the grill:

1) Remove the 6 screws attaching the return air grill to the vinyl
covered lower unit

2) Grasp the lower unit with your fingers located on the inside edge of
the covers forward edge, and your thumbs on the outside edge about 4"
from each corner and pull down. This takes a little force as there are
four plastic pins that go from the lower panel up into the coaches
roof. These plastic pins have many small retaining fingers that cause
the panel to stay and place and you must over come their resistance.

3) Once the front comes lose you will be able to grab the back edge and
pull the rear of the unit down in the same fashion.

NOTE: I take no responsibility for these instructions, your mileage may
vary
