New AC

Had to replace the AC after eight years of full timing. Cost: $1116.05.
Thought there may be some who would be interested in the lifetime of the unit and the cost of replacement (cost included removal and replacement).

Orv,

It just got weak in cooling. Took forever to cool down. During the heat wave we've had here in Desert Hot Springs, CA, the compressor would shut down. RV repair technician said that it's pretty common for it to shut down when the refrigerant is weak. It used to be that they could cut into the lines and recharge the unit but the EPA put a stop to that because of emitting all the "bad" things into the air.

New unit is putting out a lot more cool air than the old one.
