Replace Rear Coleman Mach 13 AC unit

Main question How do you access the 4 hold down bolts ? Since there is no intake grille inside,does it require removing the inside ceiling panels? 2015 Open Road 32SA. I"m not getting anywhere with repair /service centers the standard answer is bring it in and we will look at it.Maybe 4hrs. Labor @ $199.00 Hr. HA.

It’s probably bolted from the top down. Go on the roof, remove the plastic cowling, look for four bolt heads located one in each corner.

If I remember correctly after you take off the roof ac cover you will see two of the bolts. You will need to open the access on the rear of the unit to get at the other two. There are several phillips head screws the need to be removed. Inside the access I believe that is where the other 2 bolts are. You need to get in there anyway to have access to the electric connections. When you go to reinstall the hold down bolts don't use a drill driver to tighten them or you will strip them out. Snug them all down and then go back and hand tighten them.

Also there is a piece of foam on the bottom of the ac that divides the two chambers that has to be transferred to the new unit. The perimeter foam is obvious but if you are not looking for it the divider piece may stick to the old unit.
