Question:
I have a 2020 Vanleigh Beacon with the whisper quiet ducting system. The unit currently has 3 Coleman Mach 8 15k btu units w/ the rear one being equipped w/ a heat pump. Will this unit work to replace these? I have the heat pump unit down and the middle unit on its way out currently.

Hi Jake; the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup # FR32PV is an old kit that is on its way out. We no longer recommend replacing just the AC unit, and can't guarantee this will work as a plug and play replacement.
We have had customers in the past successfully swap them out, others have found the connector doesn't work, sometimes the systems don't work together, and occasionally mixing up the AC with other components burns out the air distribution box (ADB). If you want to try it you're welcome to but I don't recommend it. If you end up with a bad ADB you will end up needing a new system anyway since all of the old R410A parts have been discontinued and new parts aren't backwards compatible.
Since everything switched to the new R32 refrigerant this year following the 2025 EPA guidelines the best solution is complete replacement. If you want to stick with Coleman-Mach we have the Signature Mach 15 system. You can choose from the following based on color:
-Coleman-Mach Signature Mach 15 RV AC System - Ducted - 15,000 Btu - Textured White # CM32RR
-Coleman-Mach Signature Mach 15 RV AC System - Ducted - 15,000 Btu - Polished White # CM52RR
-Coleman-Mach Signature Mach 15 RV AC System - Ducted - 15,000 Btu - Textured Black # CM42RR
-Coleman-Mach Signature Mach 15 RV AC System - Ducted - 15,000 Btu - Polished Black # CM92RR
I will also say that I'm not familiar with that whisper quiet ducting system and I don't see much about it online. If that is a setup that doesn't have ADB for the AC units then none of the new R32 AC's we carry are compatible at this time.
