Hello Russ, thanks for reaching out. The Furrion Chill Cube is a great AC unit, but it must be used with a Chill Cube controller and distribution box. If your AC system does not use a typical ceiling distribution box, you will not be able to use the Chill Cube. Your only option for replacing your AC would be with a direct replacement from Dometic.
