I'm not familiar with the coleman ac unit but a friend of mine is an appliance repair technician and he was able to fill both of my old original ac units on my coach. He added a shrader valve to the crimped off line and filled them up. Mine operated normally but did not cool. He had me buy two new thermostats and he put them in and topped off the freon. They blow cold on a bench anyway as they are sitting on a pallet waiting to be re installed

Subject: [GMCnet] Coleman Rooftop AC

I have a Coleman Rooftop AC thats showing its age. I have never purchased a AC unit, but feel this unit isn't working correctly. (the air blows semi cool at best) The local RV place said they can't be refilled with gas. One of the controls is broken since the plastic is brittle. No big deal on the control I'm sure I can replace it myself with no problem.

Can anyone suggest a cost effective new AC with a heat strip? I have never shopped for one. I only have one AC with a Onan 4000KW working generator. I use propane for the frig. Not even sure where to start looking or how to pick. In AZ I know I really would like a unit that blew Ice Cubes!

I heard that can be done by a employee of mine. I'd have to find someone to do it. I rarely think that I'd feel better replacing a unit. But I think my AC may just be best to replace. If I found someone I'm certain that its repairable if someone would do what they did to yours. However I may shop around and just see if I can find a less expensive but new one.
