Hello all, and Happy Holidays. I for one am glad it is almost over! New owner of the above mentioned unit. And this is my first fiver with Coleman A/C's, and not too familiar with their equipment or quality . To be specific, they are Coleman Mach 15's. I wanted to replace the Coleman Mach Thermostats with the Coleman Mach Digital Thermostats. I plan on only replacing the main at first. The bedroom A/C does not get as much use as the main one. I plan to replace it with this model Coleman 83303362. Along with this install, I was considering adding a heat pump as well.
I could simply refer to my file folder chock full of manuals for all of the appliances in the fiver. Unfortunately, the manufacturer or the dealer, left out the one manual I needed to refer to. And the dealer is closed for the next few weeks for the holidays. Apparently, they are who I need to get these from. Rest assured, I am not asking this question due to ignorance or laziness. I simply have a new toy, and wanted to right to work on it. Truth be told, the manuals for A/C's typically lack the information I am interested in. Always get the best information from forums and folks camping with the similar brand and model.
I know some of you may feel the heat pump may not be worth the effort and money. I installed it in my last fiver's Dometic A/C. It does get the chill out of the unit for those chilly Northeastern mornings in the Spring and Fall. If you have any opinion or input for either of these 2 products, from practicality to installation, I would appreciate the post. Thank you and again Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I think that you may be confusing a heat strip versus a heat pump. A heat strip can be easily added to most AC units and provides heat from a resistance heating coil. A heat pump is an air conditioner that can run in reverse sending heat inside rather than outside. A heat pump can be more efficient but most will not operate below a certain temperature. Adding a heat pump means replacing the entire air conditioner with one that is even more expensive.

I do understand the difference between the 2. I was going by the title of the product from Amazon. And it used the word pump. I thought to stick to how it was listed, as to not confuse anyone. Seems I have. In this case the strip would be what I am after. Again, I am simply looking to get the chill out of the unit on relatively chilly mornings, with afternoon warmth. I know these are pretty much useless for consistently cold days. I have always had Dometic A/C's and have done the conversion on one of them. I wanted to check the part numbers I have found against any of you members that have done this. Thank you for the post!

You should be able to get the information and manuals at the company website. linkThank you sir. That is what I was looking for. I was searching for their site. And the only site I could find was a wholesale site for their equipment. Thank you.
