Replacement Air Conditioner Recommendation for an Existing Ducted Carrier AC

Question

Question:

I have a carrier ducted a/c on my Carriage Xtreme5 camper. Is there a ducted unit that will retrofit with this old Carrier unit? Prefer it be ducted, and must have control on the unit, no way to run wire for a stat. Unless there is a remote version.

There is in-fact a few options that'll do just that. The Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup # ACCAR135 you're looking at will work with both ducted and non-ducted setups, includes an adapter kit that allows you to use this unit with your existing Carrier setup, and includes all the needed mounting hardware for a bolt-on install.

This is a white unit with a 13.5K BTU capacity, however if you'd rather have a black unit you'll want to check out # ACCAR135B instead.
