RV Air Conditioning Replacement in Greater Fort Worth Area for units beyond economical repair or nearing end of service life

New Cooling Systems Installed Right

We Get Around RV Repair handles RV air conditioning replacement across the Greater Fort Worth Area when your existing rooftop unit has reached the point where continued repairs no longer make financial sense or when you're upgrading to a more efficient model with better cooling capacity. You face this decision when compressor failure occurs on an older unit, when repeated refrigerant leaks compromise performance, or when you need a quieter, higher-BTU system to match changes in your travel habits or RV configuration.


Replacing an RV air conditioner involves removing the old shroud and base assembly, inspecting the roof opening for gasket deterioration or membrane damage, and seating a new unit that matches your existing cutout dimensions and electrical requirements. Unlike simple repairs, replacement gives you the opportunity to upgrade from a standard 13,500 BTU unit to a 15,000 BTU model if your generator and breaker panel support the higher amperage draw, or to switch to a heat pump configuration if you camp in cooler seasons and want dual-function climate control.



Get in touch when your current AC unit fails repeatedly or when you're ready to install a system with modern efficiency ratings and extended warranty protection.

You'll watch as we remove mounting bolts and disconnect the existing wiring harness, then lift the old assembly off your roof and inspect the plywood base and rubber membrane for soft spots or weather damage that needs correction before the new unit goes in. We apply fresh butyl tape sealant around the entire roof opening perimeter, position the new unit to align with your interior ceiling assembly and ductwork connections, and torque all mounting hardware to prevent movement during highway travel.


Once the replacement is complete, your RV will cool faster and maintain more consistent interior temperatures, and you'll hear noticeably quieter operation if you've upgraded from an older single-stage compressor to a modern variable-speed model. We Get Around RV Repair ensures all electrical connections meet National Electrical Code standards for mobile applications and that the condensate drain routes properly to prevent water pooling under the unit.



We verify thermostat compatibility with your new unit's control board, test cooling performance at full load, and confirm the shroud sits flush with no gaps that could allow rain infiltration or create wind noise at highway speeds. Your old unit is removed from the site, and we provide all documentation needed for warranty registration and future service reference.

Common Replacement Questions

RV owners in the Greater Fort Worth Area often ask these questions when considering whether to replace rather than repair their air conditioning systems.


  • How do I know if my RV roof can support a new air conditioner? We inspect the roof decking and structural ribs during removal to ensure no rot or delamination exists, and we confirm the existing frame can handle the weight of modern units, which typically range from 80 to 120 pounds depending on BTU rating.
  • What brands do you install for RV air conditioning replacement? We install Dometic, Coleman-Mach, and Advent Air units depending on your RV's roof opening dimensions, power supply capacity, and whether you need ducted or non-ducted configurations for your interior layout.
  • Why does the new unit need to match my existing roof cutout? RV manufacturers use standardized 14-inch by 14-inch openings for most rooftop appliances, but custom or older models may require adapter kits or roof modification to accept modern units without creating gaps or structural weak points.
  • When is replacement more cost-effective than continued repairs? You should replace when the compressor fails on a unit over eight years old, when refrigerant leaks require extensive coil or line repairs, or when you've spent more than 50 percent of a new unit's cost on repairs within two years.
  • How long does a new RV air conditioner typically last? Most quality rooftop units provide ten to fifteen years of service with regular maintenance, though lifespan depends heavily on usage frequency, storage conditions, and whether you run the system on consistent shore power versus fluctuating generator voltage.
