Replace Roof AC units - 1992 WB40

[mbrund]

I would say the same thing about the Colemans. We installed the
Coleman Mach 3PS (10AMP units) on our last coach and damn near never
got any sleep as the unit's where so noisy. That is one reason I am
not replacing the one in the bedroom at this time as the Dometic is
nice and quite, especially with the 1/2" thick padded plywood cover
that came with it from BB.

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.
