Which Coleman Mach Do I Have?

[nomad297]

I know my unit is a Coleman Mach 15,000 BTUH, cooling-only unit, but I can’t find anything anywhere that tells me which Coleman Mach it is. My paperwork is for an AirXcel Model 48254C869 which is a Coleman Mach, but I can’t find a crossover from that model number to tell me which Coleman Mach it is.

Can I assume that since the unit says Coleman Mach on it and the thermostat says Coleman Mach on it and the unit is 15,000 BTUH that my unit is the Coleman Mach 15?

I posted this same question on somebody else’s thread, but I think it will be overlooked there, so I am going to edit that post so I am not hijacking that thread.

Thank you,

Bruce

Holy cow! I spent an hour navigating through that website to try and find what you just directed me to. I am usually pretty good at finding this sort of thing, but I just had to give up.

Thank you so much for such a quick and accurate response.

Have you thought of crawling up on the roof, pulling the 4 screws on the cover, removing it and looking at the tag on the unit?

I did think of doing this, but during my perusal of the AirXcel website I saw an example of the plate and that plate didn’t say which Mach unit it was — only the AirXcel model number and serial number and other technical information — the same information I have in the packet that came with my RV.

Take the one screw loose from the inside grill where the filter is, mine has a sticker there.

I am not sure what you missed but if you hit the more info button it tells you it is a Mach 15.

If I had ever made it to the page that Iowa Frogfarmer provided the link to, I would have clicked on the “More Info” link.

Were you able to navigate to the page Iowa Frogfarmer provided the link for on your own, or did you just click on the link he provided like I did? He made it easy for me and I really appreciate it.

Good luck with your AC Bruce. I plan to save this post and that website info. Our Coleman AC had a problem last fall. We thought it would have to be replaced and finding another unit to fit was a challenge this Spring. Most of the suppliers were shut down. We were surprised to find it only needed a good cleaning! Not just the filter but had to dislodge a wasp nest and some dust built up in the unit. $90 and it works great! Good luck on yours.

Just checking this thread, I have a Coleman Mach 15 in a 2017 Forest River trailer. I am considering getting an inverter generator and am interested in what size unit is necessary to run the AC on occasion with everything else shut off. I noticed the AC is rated for 1650 running watts but is it equipped with a soft start or would this have to be added if I want to stick with a small light weight generator?

Check out the micro air start. Works great and can run the ac on one 2000 to 2200 inverter gen.A little pricey but works great.

I have looked at the micro start and yes that would be great for the small generator. My thoughts were that the AC unit should come equipped with this type of device for RV use. Perhaps it is, that is what I wanted to find out before proceeding further.

I put one on my Salem 27REI and it works great traveling. It runs my 15K on my Yamaha 2200.

That sounds great if it needs it but first I am going to plug my trailer into an outside house plug that is on a 15 amp breaker and see if that handles the AC.

My AC started and ran well on a 15 amp house breaker. I am confident it is worth trying on a small inverter generator without any other changes.
