My husband and I purchased a 2008 Holiday Rambler Imperial IV in December 2019. In May of this year, our A/C #1 went out. Our local RV repair shop diagnosed it as an oil and freon leak, telling us it needs an A/C and control box kit replacement. They ordered a Dometic low profile A/C and control box from the manufacturer. To date, the unit has still not shipped. We were given an original ship date of September 3, 2020. The RV dealer contacted their Dometic rep and he couldn't give them a date for shipment saying all RV parts manufacturers are having trouble finding transport for parts.
My question is: Do some RV repair shops keep things like Dometic A/Cs, etc. in stock? I haven't called around to look for one, but am wondering if that would be something an RV mechanic would keep on hand. Also, I'm wondering if a different repair shop would have better luck getting a part? Of if anyone on this forum has an idea who or where I can turn to find an ac unit? We've already paid for diagnosing the problem, so my husband wants to wait for the parts. This weekend we took the RV to Houston and almost roasted without the front AC. Lol.
Thank you for reading!! And thank you in advance for any responses!
