Hey Tim welcome back! Your ARH15AACBL2 GE AC unit has the old 410a refrigerant in it so the GE Appliances item # GE64FR you were looking at isn't going to work as a replacement. The EPA mandated R32 refrigerant has been used in all new AC's since Jan 2025 and none of the components are backwards compatible.
To replace your ARH15AACBL2 you'll need to get an entire new setup including an air distribution box. I highly recommend the ducted GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC System w/ Heat Pump item # GE85ZR in white or item # GE75ZR in black. These units have a built in heat pump, air distribution box, control board, and a thermostat. These systems work in ducted setups for RV's that have roof vents.
If you don't need the heat pump, we also have the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC System item # GE35ZR for a ducted setup or the item # GE72ZR for a ductless setup.
Does your trailer or motorhome have a ducted or ductless setup and are you needing a heat pump?
