Hey Dave all is well over here. So to replace your current Dometic AC with a Furrion AC you'd need to use the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup # FR42PV for a 15K Btu unit, or # FR82PV for a 13.5k unit.

Both of these kits are going to include everything you need to make the swap over to Furrion and will use all of the existing thermostat and air distribution box.
