I think the shroud on my rooftop A/C is original (from 1973). The elements (UV, tree branches, etc.) have taken their toll and I think it needs to be replaced.
Does anybody know if a shroud for a newer Coleman 13,500 BTU unit will fit?

When I asked this some time ago -- no one could confirm, but Gene pointed out that the plastic shroud just covers a metal shroud...

The louvers in my metal part are bent, and the metal shroud looks too "boxy". It might have less wind resistance, though. If I get no answers here, I'll see if a local RV place will let me buy one contingent on being able to return it if it doesn't fit.
