Can relate to that one.
While investigating rpl'ing my 2014 ACE 13,500 BTU roof A/C w/ a 15,000'er, I looked up our existing model # on the Airxcel site (OEM for Coleman Mach) & found it also 'discontinued' - perhaps a convenient way for OEMs to eat up older inventory while aiding RV manufs. in keeping prices down = install the obsolete inventory on brand new RVs.

I think we have a winner here!

It is all dollars and cents. The OEMs got a sweet deal on left over units. They took the sweet deal and of course lowered the price of the new unit.....
