Default adding cetral air on a classic

I am wanting to add central air and climate control on my Newell Classic. Anyone know what it will cost to have this conversion done? I am tired of going to bed hot and waking up cold because there is no climate control.
:?

Thanks,
Joseph

Give Newell's Service Department a call. I suspect it will be expensive but there seem to be few things that the service department can't do if you have the money. Newell has gone from basement air to roof mounted AC units during the past few years. Slides make it more difficult to incorporate multiple basement air conditioners.

I highly recommend you go, or stay, with roof airs.

Roof air units are easy and economical to replace, and free up tons of basement space.

Getting a central unit repaired means you must not only find an a/c repair place with the expertise and the desire to work on it, but they must have suitable parking to accomodate the coach.


I have roof a/c's on my coach and will never go back to basement.

Default Roof AC..

Joseph,

John C is right; stay with the roof AC. I had a 1993 Newell 2000 44' with 3 basement ACs. I changed 5 condensor fan motors during the 8 years that I owned the coach. John C is right about finding someone to work on the basement ACs. In Las Vegas, during 100 degree heat, our front AC would not cool. I called 3 AC repair shops and nobody wanted to touch it. Any RV shop will work on roof ACs. I don't know why they are afraid to work on the basement ACs, but they are.

I had the AC repair service in my hometown change the 5 condensor fan motors. They also changed a compressor for me. They said that it was just like a home central AC unit and were not afraid to work on it.

Go figure!
