I have owned my coach for 3 years now and I've put many enjoyable
miles on it roaming between Toronto and Los Angeles but the dash air
conditioning has not worked since the day I bought it. That hasn't
been a concern as I find the wind wings are adequate for most
situations, and in intense heat I'll run the Onan generator and the
roof air conditioner whether I am stopped or traveling.

I would like to remove it to get rid of the excess weight and
apparatus of the dash air conditioner but I wonder what consequences
there might be and what would the weight saving amount to from the
compressor, the a/c radiator, and ancillaries if removed. I also
believe that when defrost is selected the compressor is engaged to dry
the air but since my a/c doesn't work this is merely an unnecessary
drag on the engine. For that I might just remove the a/c fanbelt.

Any thoughts for me from this learned community?
