    Any RV AC/Heater Guru's Around???

    I've got a 1994 model Coleman popup and the AC works good, but there is no heating element. I "think" I got the model number off of the unit but it is worn pretty bad. I think that the model # is 7333A881 and the only sticker on the shroud is MAXXAIR. I did a google search and nothing comes up. There is a warning label that states in big bold letters "DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT WITH HEAT CEILING ASSEMBLIES 7330A716, 7330-726, 7370A716 OR WITH HEATER CONVERSION KIT: 7330-7361". I would like to get the right element or kit for it, but I am at a loss. Anyone with any idea as to what I need is greatly appreciated.

        If it's like every one I've seen that heater add-on is just to break the chill. It's not meant to heat the camper. It doesn't put out much heat and it doesn't cycle off and on with the thermostat.

          You will need to buy a new lower unit that is heat strip ready. Now all Coleman lower units comes wired for heat strip. That being said the heat strips are only 5600 BTU and do not put out much heat, your money will probably be better spent buying a little electric heater. If you want to pursue getting a heat strip unit, let me know and I will get you the part numbers you need

            Everyone that I have seen use the gas heater. I think those are priced reasonable.

              Also you have a Coleman A/C unit and Maxxair makes replacement shrouds

                Thanks for all the help. No sense in getting one if it only breaks the chill.

                  Those heating units are only like 5000 BTU's. Not worth spending the $$! on. I replaced the A/C in my camper a few years ago, and bought the heat strip, but it was weak, and if it was even thinking about being cold, I had to use the furnace or portable heaters anyway.

                  I will not buy he beat strip again, if I ever have to buy another RV A/C unit.
