Question:

We have a 2017 StarCraft launch grand touring. Will this unit work with our unit? The thermostat says Coleman Mach.

Hey Pamela, at one point we thought the Advent Air AC units could easily replace the Colemans but we've recently learned that it's really inconsistent so we can't guarantee it will work.

So instead you'd want the Advent kit part # ADV64FR which comes with a new thermostat and lower unit we know will work well. Basically what we've learned is that there's no mixing and matching of brand components that work together.

Hey Pamela, how did things go with the Advent kit that includes the new thermostat and lower unit for your StarCraft? Knowing what worked might help others trying to replace their Coleman setup.
