Yes, you can replace just the rooftop unit in order to minimize costs and retain use of your current thermostat. You'll first want to remove the air distribution box cover and look for the controller. There will be a wire harness that hangs down and plugs into the controller and will have either a 6-pin or 9-pin connector. If you have a 9-pin connector then you'll need an adapter to plug into the controller. You'll also want to check the old rooftop unit to see what the BTU rating is and match it or go higher. We have the following replacement options:

6-pin Connection Point:

13,500 BTU
White # FR26PR
Black # FR76PR

15,000 BTU
White # FR58PR
Black # FR86PR

9-pin Connection Point:

13,500 BTU
White # FR82PV
Black # FR62PV

15,000 BTU
White # FR42PV
Black # FR32PV

I've attached a short video below where John will walk you through the installation process.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
