Question:

I have a Coleman Mach 10 Model45204-6792 and would like to replace it with this unit. Mine is a ‘top down” ducted install. Is the Furrion setup to bolt down from the top of the rv and is the bolt pattern the same as the Coleman unit?

Hello P.S.

I'm glad you reached out because this is a great question! This year, new regulations changed the refrigerants used in RV air conditioners, switching from R-410A to R-32. This is a win all around as it is better for the environment and more efficient.

However, the downside is that parts are not interchangeable. Even if they physically line up, they won’t work together. Additionally, all new R-32 AC units require a different setup to prevent sparking, which could pose a fire risk.

To swap your system with a ducted setup, I recommend the Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box - Ducted - 18,000 BTU - White # FR99TD. It includes the AC unit, a new air distribution box, a remote (which also serves as the thermostat), and all the necessary hardware for installation.

This unit is so much quieter than all the others, definitely worth the swap. What do you think about the set-up?

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately my 5th wheel is only ducting and does not have an air distribution assembly on the interior of the rv. Solid ceilings with dual return air vents on the edges of the ceiling for each ac unit similar to motorhome ducting.

@Ps P.S. I am going to reach out directly to Furrion and see if there is something that can be done with your set-up. These AC units are still very new, so we are still figuring things out. Fingers crossed for some good news.

Hi Kate, I am considering replacing my dometic AC unit with the Chill cube. I saw there is a chill cube conversion kit to keep the dometic distribution box. But all the Q&A here says that you have to do a complete replacement. Is the conversion kit new? Thanks, Jared

@JaredV In the past you would have been able to get an AC to use with your Dometic Air Distribution Box, but since this is the year that they went from the R410a to the R32 refrigerant it does require an entire new set-up because the old R410a parts are not compatible with the new R32 parts. For Ducted: Furrion Chill Cube RV AC w Air Distribution Box, Thermostat - Ducted - 18,000 Btu - White # FR69TD, for black # FR49TD For Ductless: Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner w Air Distribution Box - Ductless - 18,000 Btu - White # FR59TD, for black # FR27TD The upside is that the new refrigerant is more efficient making it a win-win for both the environment and the consumer. You will love the new 18,000 BTU, it doesn't just cool you down quicker, but it is so quiet compared to the other air conditioners. What kind of camper is this going on? Any big adventures this summer?
