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

Hey James, how did things go with replacing the AC units on your Itasca Ellipse? Were you able to move forward with the full Furrion Chill HE system your setup needed? Your update could make it easier for others planning a similar upgrade.
