Default Installed three new roof airs

Hello Newell fans:
This is my first post so be gentle. I bought coach #458 in March 08 at the factory and drove nine hours in a blizzard to get back to Monroe,LA. The weather soon warmed and my basement airs didn't work well. Went to 'Dega, sweated, and learned both boards were burnt. I bought one from Newell for the 13.5 unit and one from Frigette (Ft. Worth) for the 27.5 unit. They just wouldn't cool in our heat and humidity. I'm a dealer for just about everything on an RV so I ordered 3 Duotherm BriskAir 15k units. I called Cressley and he told me where to make my cuts and it was mostly smooth sailing.I was really worried about my beautiful headliner, but other than eliminating 2 halogen lights, it looks factory. I still have to wire them and am going to do that in a few days with conduit on the roof. I had to remove the Braund TV antenna for the front unit to fit. I took some pics but don't know how to post them yet. If someone could help me I would appreciate it. I can't wait for a warm day to test. I'm wiring for 4 units just in case I need one more. I can be reached at 318 614 1443.
