Question:
Looking at a Ge a/c PLHS13XHHW rv a/c unit. I believe your part number is GE33ZR. This will be going on a 2009 mobile suites. It is a top down mount with no interior access. I was wondering what thermostat and control box would be compatible with this model. Thanks

Hey Nathan, welcome back! To install the GE Appliances HE Low-Profile RV AC w/ Heat Pump item # GE33ZR in a top down orientation, you'll need the following parts:
Single Zone Smart Thermostat for GE Appliances RV ACs item # GE29FR in white or item # GE89FR in black
GE Appliances RV AC Control Board item # GE27FR
We also have the GE Appliances Low-Profile RV AC w/ Heat Pump item # GE93ZR in black or item # GE43ZR in white if you want to upgrade to a 15,000 btu system. These also have the built in heat pumps and will work in a top down orientation.
What kind of climates do you typically camp in?

The last several years we have seemed to be camping when it’s 90 plus. We usually spend 3-4 weeks a year during the summer. I double checked the unit on the camper and realized it was actually a 15k unit. So I ordered the 15k Dennis with the thermostat and control box you recommended. Thanks again.
