Title: Replacement front roof AC unit
Post by: Moby on March 22, 2024, 10:26:05 pm
I have what I believe to be the original roof ac units on Alice.
They are colemans, as confirmed by the label.
(EDIT: They are "TSR" per label)
The front one no longer cools. Last time it was seriously frosting over.  I cleaned the coils as suggested here but it still frosts over
1)  Are direct replacements available?
      Cost?
2)  Going to be North West of Houston for a month in five days.  Any repair guy that you can recommend?
 TIA

With these statements you may just have a problem with the fan motor or fan capacitor. If the coils are frosting over the unit is cooling you just need air to move through the coil.

Moby, Call Mobile RV of Tex at 832/434-1281 after 9 am Monday to Friday.  The lady that answers the phone is Nicki.  She and her husband Mark own the company, they have two mobile trucks.  They work on my Foretravel and help me replace complete heaters.  They are very good at fixing RVs, modestly priced and will be there when Nicki says they will.  Call Monday to get on the schedule when you get to your location.  They are busy so will not be there the day you call.

Please tell Nicki I said hello.
