Without a serial number to check there isn't an exact way to find out the BTU rating of your AC unit. Typically if your camper has 30 amp service then you'll most likely have a 13,500 BTU unit and 15,000 for 50 amp. That being said you can determine the correct BTU rating needed for your RV by multiplying the square footage of your RV by 20.

If you're wanting to replace just the rooftop unit of your Carrier Air V system then I recommend the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup w/ Start Capacitor - 13,500 Btu # ACCAR135 or Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup w/ Start Capacitor - 15,000 Btu # ACCAR150 depending on the size of your RV. Both of these units are a direct replacement for a Carrier Air rooftop unit and will simply plug right into your current system.

If you want to completely replace the entire system then I recommend the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Single Zone - 15,000 Btu - Black # FR23PV or Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Single Zone - 15,000 Btu - White # FR55PV. If you watch the attached review videos, you'll see that Furrion is the best performer compared to its competitors Atwood and Advent. Both of these units come with a wall thermostat and air distribution box has 2 slotted registers to provide maximum airflow. The included start capacitor offers an extra boost to help jump-start the AC when a campsite or generator doesn't provide enough power.
