Roof top AC units

[JCMack]

Need to replace my roof top Duo-Therm 13500 btu with heat strip ac units on my 06 Newnar Mountain Aire. Please advise on quality brands that are a direct replacement.I will be doing both units so do I change the 5 button controller also.

Yes, once he gets the new upper unit he will have to verify the cold exhaust lines up with the old hole in the roof. If not, then the roof top hole will have to be modified. Doug

PS, if you buy Penguin units. They come with the upper control boards and you will purchase a 10 button CCC wall tstat also. I would NOT buy a unit and add the Heat Strip. I would buy the Heat Pump models, it is all plug and play.

The ONLY Brand you can use is Dometic. Your wall Tstat system only works with Dometic AC products. Doug

Let Doug give you the current answer. Replacing that unit is not trivial, because of the ducted return. For a while they kept old style briskairs in stock just for Newmarket. Not sure if they still have them.
