15000 btu ac?
I just bought a 2014 FUZION 300 according to the dealer (CW) the unit has a 13,500 BTU's AC.
But according to Keystone( after checking the VIN #) is a 15000 BTU's unit.
Either CW don't have a clue or they swap the unit after it was shipped from the factory....
How can I make sure what type of unit I have without having to get to the roof of the camper and pull the cover off ?

No dealer swapped a major appliance like that on their own "just because".
The difference between the two BTU ratings would largely be undetectable... But if you must know, pull the interior cover, get the model number, and look it up on the manufacturers web site.

Thanks for your response. I definitely would like to know what unit I have. But is more than that, is about the discrepancy between the two of them.....

You don't think that the difference would be significant until you get in a hot climate, like the Texas coast or Florida, then you need every BTU of cooling you can get and then some. If the unit, according to Keystone, should have a 15K unit, that's what you paid for and that's what it should have in it. The only way we fix discrepancies like this is to hold someone accountable instead of taking the lazy way of least resistance.
I agree, the dealer would not have replaced it with a larger unit and not charged you extra for it. It was most likely installed at the factory by some worker who was at the end of his shift and didn't want to wait for someone to go get the correct one.
Pull the lower cover and there is a manufacturers plate with all of the unit's info. I would not trust CW to know what was on the trailer.

15000 btu
we have a mach 15 by coleman/ airxcel. it is a fairly dependable unit. we also opted for the front air as well. yes you will need it in the sunny south.
however, we have had problems with the bolts holding it on listening and the drain holes in the drip pan stopping up. I will be fixing this problem after the annual wash job

If you cant find the model number on their website (one in our 2012 Vantage was discontinued model and hence not on site) you can call the A/C mfg and their tech dept can tell you. That's what I did with ours to verify BTU since dealer lied about some other other stuff.

If you've got the model and serial numbers, you can look it up online.
It should be a dometic A/C. Their website is: http://dometic.com/dc0efb6a-748f-459...1e5780a8.fodoc

Bunch of Google hits on that model number. It's a 15K BTU. That would not be the first time a salesman didn't know what he was selling.

I saw that, thanks!
It's funny cause I was also looking at the FZ301 and one of the "differences" was that it was 15,000 BTU Vs 13500 on the FZ300.... Go figure!

got one
there are all sorts of pds and info for this unit I have the specs, parts and other pdfs from the internet http://www.arvparts.com/coleman_mach_15_48204B876.pdf http://www.sahararv.com/pdfs/552-566...leman-Mach.pdf
note if you punch in the model number you will have other sites and info. the info is out there you just have to know where to look. the 2 problems I have had is the loosening of the long bolts that bolt it on and the tiny holes in the drip pan clogging up. you will know this when water runs out the ceiling register. I will be videoing my upgrade to my unit this fall
