Another Air Conditioner Question for Forum

[KAttkisson]

Due to height considerations under a steel beam of a building where I am going to store my 2009 Coachman I am changing the Factory installed Duo-therm Air conditioner for a Coleman Mini-Mach 8 (14.5" vs.8.25 height). I am also installing Coleman's thermostat to match unit.

My difficulty and question is mating the Duo-therm furnace control function to the Coleman thermostat. The thermostat heat function is limited to a 1 amp max. It appears that I may have to wire in a power relay. Has anyone done this switch before that could shed light? I can figure it out but any experience would save time. Thanks in advance.

Lo Pro advertised height 10.5 " Mini-mach 8 8.25" Needed all I could get and then a little more(Digging out the dirt floor 2")

Here's the problem I see and maybe I'm wrong but here goes.
Iirc the mini Mach is only 7100k and you currently have a 13.5k I do not think you'll be happy with almost half the cooling capacity.
The 13.5k in hotter humid areas is probably pushing it.

perhaps my wording was wrong. it is a Mach 8 lo profile which is available in 9200,13.5K. and 15K BTu's. I went with the 13.5K as the 15K was a couple of hundred more dollars . Boy did you give me a heart attack before I checked once again behind myself. Got it on this AM but may have to wait until warmer conditions to tighten gasket to specs.

Lol sorry for that!
I'd put it on now and let it settle then re torque it in a couple of weeks.
