Looking For Replacement AC Units For 2011 Itasca Ellipse 42QD
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 10/10/2025
Question:
I want to replace all 3 of the AC units on my 2011 Itasca ellipse 42QD, they are the Coleman Mach 8 model 49023a879. Will this unit be able to be integrated in to my system? Does this system have a condensate pump?

Hello James, thanks for reaching out. We do have AC units you can use on your camper, but you would need to swap out your whole AC system, not just the rooftop unit. The reason for this is RV AC units now use a new R32 refrigerant, and these units are not backwards compatible with old AC systems from before 2025. So you will need a new rooftop unit, distribution box, controller and thermostat. We have complete AC systems available for both ducted and ductless systems. Here is what I recommend:
- Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Single Zone - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # FR35TD
