Welcome back Eugene. The Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup item # FR82PV in white or item # FR62PV in black are the only AC's we have that will replace a Coleman Mach 3 AC unit. This are 13,500 btu systems that can be installed in ducted or ductless setups. They have the older 410a refrigerant and come with an adapter to plug directly into your Cole Mach air distribution box, which means no time consuming rewiring.
You will be able to use your existing thermostat and air distribution box with the Furrion Chill HE item # FR82PV in white or item # FR62PV in black. You will simply remove your Coleman AC unit and install one of the Furrion AC's in its place using the included adapter.
Please note that due to the EPA changing the regulations on the refrigerant in the AC units at the beginning of 2025. They've been upgraded to R32 and your older Coleman Mach 3 has the now obsolete 410a refrigerant. None of the 410a components are compatible now with the newer systems R32 systems like the Furrion AC you originally looked at. The Furrion Chill HE item # FR82PV in white or item # FR62PV in black are the only 410a refrigerant AC's we have left. It's either one of these AC units or an entirely new system.
