RV Air Conditioner units like the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner # FR58PR you were looking at all have a closed system so you would not be able to check or add Freon into them. The only option if your unit is leaking Freon would be to either replace just the rooftop unit or the entire system.
If you plan on replacing just the rooftop unit then you'll want to remove the cover for your air distribution box and find the wire harness for the rooftop unit that plugs into the controller. It will have either a 6-pin or 9-pin connector. If it has a 9-pin connector then you'll also need to pick up an adapter # ACCOLKIT in order to plug your new unit into the old controller.
If you want to replace the entire system the I'll just need to know how many units you have and what BTU rating you're looking for to pick out the right system for you.
