Hi Sam,
If you're just looking to replace the rooftop unit you can remove the cover to your air distribution box and look up to see if you can see the controller and the wire harness that plugs into it from the rooftop unit. If the controller isn't there and is instead built into the rooftop unit you'd need to either relocate it into the ceiling space with the air distribution box or you'll need to replace the entire system.
If the controller is with the air distribution box then you can go with the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner # FR42PV. If you have to replace the whole system then you'll want to go with the Furrion # FR55PV if you want a wall thermostat or the # FR92PR if you want the controls on the air distribution box.
