Replacement AC for 2007 Monaco Knight Class A With Dometic Duo-Therm

Question

Question:

I have a 2007 Monaco Knight Class A motorhome with two Duo-Therm 13,500 BTU AC/Heat Pump units Model : 630035.831 with a Dometic Duo-Therm Thermostat. Can I replace the bedroom unit with a Furrion 15k BTU Unit and the main unit with the 18K Btu unit? Im not sure if its a 6 or 9 pin connection but I will find out.

Hey Charles! All of the new AC systems moved to R32 in 2025 due to the new EPA regulations. The pin on the connector no longer matters when replacing old R410a units because you have to completely replace the system. It looks like that is a ducted setup so you can use the following based on color:

-Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner w Air Distribution Box - Ducted - 18,000 Btu - Black # FR39TD

-Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner w Air Distribution Box - Ducted - 18,000 Btu - White # FR99TD

-Furrion Chill HE RV AC System w/ Thermostat - 15K Btu - Ducted/Non-Ducted - Black - R32 # FR65TD

-Furrion Chill HE RV AC System w/ Thermostat - 15K Btu - Ducted/Non-Ducted - White - R32 # FR83TD

If you have a setup without air distribution boxes we do have some of the old Furrion # FR32PV left you could use with the existing setup. Otherwise, I would go with a new system with the ADB since parts are no longer available for these older systems.

Where are you headed with the Monaco once you get the AC replaced?

Hey Robin, thank you for the information. So, the old ADB should be replaced with the new unit? Lastly, I will no longer use the Dometic wall mount thermostat because the new AC's have individual remotes? Heading to TN for a couple of weeks later this year!

@CharlesB that is correct. All of those AC systems I listed out are a complete replacement. They include the rooftop unit and ADB which will replace what you have now. The Chill Cube has a remote which acts as the wall thermostat, the regular Chill HE has a wall thermostat. They use different communication protocols so you will replace the Dometic thermostats. If you're running a furnace and its tied to the thermostat where you will install the Chill Cube, keep the old Dometic thermostat running the furnace. They make a Chill Cube wall thermostat but it has a lot of furnace compatibility issues so keeping them separate, and running the Chill Cube off of the remote, typically works out best.

Hey Andrew! Yes, Furrion does have a Chill Cube model with a heat pump. This was actually just released for aftermarket sale. You will need a complete system to make the switch, new R32 units aren't backwards compatible with old R410A systems.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…
