Barry, if you are going to replace your A/C have a good look at Haughton brand. We fitted an HB3500 to our van in early 2018, as we live in our van full time, it has had a good workout since. www.razorrv.com.au/air-conditionersWhen I was having trouble with my Ibis, I was going to replace it with a HB3500 as it was only a bit over half of the cost of a Dometic. Fortunately I managed to fix mine quite cheaply and didn't need to replace it after all. My problem was different to yours. See thread Here |

After reading that thread Roger, maybe I should get you to fix ours now that you have all that experience. Barry  |

Went to see the caravan air con bloke near me and he said it is not worth looking at the old one, as the leak may take too long to find and be a waste of money. He advises replacing air cons as old as ours.
Mick the Haughton will not fit, it is too wide, damn. I have ordered a Dometic Ibis 4, it has the best fit with height and width restrictions.
Will be fitted on 17th July.

Yesterday I turned up at the RV Repair place near me to get the Ibis 4 fitted as arranged back in April. After separating the cruiser from van I asked a question about the Ibis 4 mounting plate and the owner said we have a Haughton for you ! ! I said that back in April I told you the only one that fits my needs is the Ibis 4 and you wrote that in your book. He looked a bit shocked for a second and then remembered and agreed he was wrong. What to do now ? Had to wait until 8-30am before Dometic could be contacted. By 8-50am he had found a New model Haughton HB2800V that was available and smaller in physical size but bigger in cooling Kw. It had only been released at the caravan show so was not showing up back in April when I was looking. To save a day I went and picked it up and brought it back to the RV place and they fitted it. It looks good and is very quiet so all in all it turned out a good day after all. Mick will be happy I bought the Haughton  Barry |
