If you're replacing just the rooftop unit and keeping the air distribution box and thermostat then I recommend going with the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner Unit # FR58PR. You'll just want to check the wiring harness that runs from the rooftop unit to the controller to see if it has a 6-pin or 9-pin connector to see if you need a wiring harness adapter. If you have a 9-pin then you'll want # FR42PV instead, since it comes with an adapter included.

I've attached a short video below where I'll show you this wiring harness and how to install the adapter.

If you're wanting to completely replace the system then I recommend the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Single Zone - 15,000 Btu # FR65PV. This system will come with a wall thermostat to replace the one you currently have and the air distribution box has a built in LED light for mood lighting.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
