Replacement air conditioner brand
- Thread starter FARMER45
- Start date
I have no experience with them but some like the Coleman products. Supposedly quieter and move a lot of air. Again - I don't know from first hand experience.

If you buy a different A/C unit, you might want to first compare the installation requirements/instructions for your current unit and the possible replacement. At a minimum you'll want to evaluate the electrical connections and duct interfaces. I would not assume that all A/C units are interchangeable.

There have been some improvements in RV air conditioners, I have a friend who put in a new Atwood Air Command in his Holiday Rambler 5th Wheel, all of us were really impressed with how quiet the unit was in comparison to our units. Should I have to replace mine that is the replacement, check into them.

We were camping with friends for the last few nights, and they have a new Jayco 5er with a Coleman air conditioner. It's a lower profile than the Dometic on our Bighorn so it has that going for it. It's also quiet when inside the trailer. That said, when you're outside the thing is insanely noisy, so much so that when on a recent trip it was apparently bothering neighbours. Another friend with another Jayco, same thing. This friend is now actively looking for a fix for the noise. I would suggest steering clear of a Coleman air conditioner.

What Dometic do you have now? The last time my Dometic Brisk II was replaced under warranty (number 5) they sent a Penguin II. It is a low profile and seems a little quieter. It's been running for almost 3 months (a new record ?) without issue.
