Hello fellow Roadtrekkers...
Our 12.5 year old Dometic #03099622 crashed in Quebec, QC. Exploded, caught fire while I was about to increase some more cooling. Caught it in time before a fire erupted. Been without AC for a month now and we're traveling this oppressive humidity along the East coast. Plan on replacing the AC with a low profile, newer Dometic or a Houghton.
Has anyone ever replaced such a unit? We're looking into a Houghton AC from RecPro. I understand that the Houghton is pretty quiet and effectively cools better than the Dometic. Thinking of getting a 9500BTU Houghton model as I understand that one does not require a "soft start" feature with a 9500BTU compared to a 13500BTU. I believe our Onan LP generated 2500w would easily power this!
Question: how do you hard wire A/C and generator power lines to one power line of the AC. The area where the previous connections were are totally burned inside giving me poor indication of where to connect power!
Thank you...
Cheers...
