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

[Glenn Allen]

Nate,

I had one bad unit and decided to go ahead and replace all three units. I found
3 new
Dometic penguin low profile units for $300 each. There are definitely pros and
cons in any
brand... High efficiency, low profile, thermostat compatibility, fan cycle/duct
options etc. It
seems like dometic and carrier are approaching parity and it is down to user
preference.

The replacement is straight forward if you think through the logistics of
getting the old
down and the new up. I placed a hoist in the garage rafters and hoisted the old
unit up,
and then drove the coach out from under and then lowered it down. I did the
reverse for
the new unit.
