I'm considering removing the 13.5k btu AC and installing a 9k btu AC (coleman polar cub). Why? To reduce the jet engine sound coming from the current AC. Anyone know if they both have the same size hole, gasket, etc? ------------- 2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1708FB 2017 R-Pod 177 (Blue) HRE SOLD 2004 Outfitter Apex 8 camper 2014 Toyota Tundra DC |

I just replaced the A/C unit with a Coleman Mach 3 plus 13.5K BTU after the Dometic died. The Coleman went in without issue into the standard 14 X 14 inch stand hole in the roof. Hope this helps. ------------- T@b 400 with solar Formerly 2010 171 2013 Tundra TRD |

My wife and I are thinking of doing the same thing. How about the jet engine? Is it better? And how much did it cost you? Thanks for the info. ------------- Rick and Melanie 2008 Tundra CrewMax 4-Wheel Drive 2015 R-179 Surfer |
