AC replacement

I just found out that one of my AC's on my 2007 Navigator is not working. Does anyone know what it will cost to replace the AC? Thanks.

I replaced one last year for about 1400.00 at a RV service shop.

It depends on the BTU(13.5 or 15K), Heat Pump or not.
Are you going to replace it yourself or in a shop?

Also if Coleman, Dometic or other make?

Sometimes the AC can be repaired vs completely replaced. I had a compressor run capacitor go bad on my 15k heat pump and was able to purchase and install a new capacitor. The compressor and cooling loop was still OK.

A quick trouble shooting or look inside the electrical may save you the cost/troubles of a complete replacement.

Dick,

Here's the problem as I understand it .
You have low profile penguin units made by Dometic.
Dometic doesn't make that exact A/C anymore .
They make a newer version that not only looks different
but is not totally compatible with your other 2 A/Cs .
You can go about it a number of ways

1 - find a good used one

2 - remove the control board from old unit and
install in new unit

3 - buy an adapter kit from Dometic , allows new
unit to communicate with old units and thermostat .

4 - replace all 3 air cond + thermostat

I had the same problem and decided to replace both
units and the thermostat .
Did it myself .

Had one replaced in Tucson this past Feb. (Coleman-AirXcel Mach 8, 15K heat pump). It was about $1,400. Tech used existing control board. New units are lower profile, noisier, and more flimsy and cheaply constructed than the unit we removed.
