1983 35FC A/C (Air Conditioner) Replacement Advice

[compmanben]

Hi Folks,

How are you?

I have a dead middle Dometic 13.5 A/C unit. I am looking for a
replacement. I have been "wandering" around the adventurerv.net site
looking at the different models.

Does anyone have any advice on brands? Coleman, Carrier or Dometic?
Does anyone have any advice on low profile [i.e Coleman Polar Cub or
Dometic Penguin?]
Does anyone have any advice on heat pump vs. heat strip?
Has anyone tried the low energy models? [i.e. Colman Polar Cub?]

I also have a front Dometic 13.5 A/C with a broken shroud. I am looking
for a replacement shroud. As far as I can tell, the A/C unit is
original to the coach. Does anyone know of a good replacement? There
seems to be lots of replacements for A/C units made in the last 10
years, but none for older units.

Thanks for your help!
