Question:

Will this work as a direct replacement for my old Dometic or Coleman AC unit? Answer: Yes, the Furrion Chill HE Low-Profile AC can be used as a replacement for Dometic or Coleman rooftop units — but there’s a catch. Because this is an R32 refrigerant system, it’s not compatible with older R410A components. You’ll need to replace the rooftop unit, air distribution box, and thermostat if youre switching from another brand. The good news? The complete kits include everything you need for a clean install, and they often plug into existing roof cutouts 14.25inch x 14.25. Want it easier? Look for bundle kits with wall thermostats and air distribution boxes.

Yes Diangelo, the Furrion Chill HE Low-Profile RV AC kits will indeed replace the entire Dometic or Coleman ac systems. The reason you need to replace the entire is system is because there are no single ac units that can work with those older systems, and the refrigerant changed in 2025 from R410a to R32 and parts aren't interchangeable, no matter the brand.

I think you'll really like the slim design which is more aerodynamic and gives more clearance for tight garages or bridges. Also these are very quiet and efficient units compared to other systems of the same BTU rating. Here are the kits we offer for you:
