Roof Air Conditioner Conversion Kit?

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Jack and Liz:

I agree with John completely. The roof AC units do come in 2 pieces, the AC
unit and the air distribution box. They are separate pieces and usually the
old air distribution box will not fit the new AC unit because of changes in
design or what ever. They also must be compatible if your Rig is set up
with the master/slave type of thermostat controls. Go to Camping World and
save yourself 2 or 3 hundred dollars. Installation should not run over
135.00 as a norm, over the marked up price of a new unit.

Safe travels,

Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider
