Installing Pioneer Inverter AC

[Treasure Coast Vault]

Hello this is my first post! I am removing the Dometic AC that came with my 2021 LE 2. I bought a Pioneer Inverter AC/Heat Pump 13,500 BTU. Any tips on removal and installation will be gratefully accepted!

Looks like a re-badged Greenland/Turbro and I think you'll be the first one here to install one of these. Planning on buying one myself if/when the price comes back down.

I'd guess you are pioneering the Pioneer install. Yes, it looks identical to the Gree/Turbro Greenland. I think you will enjoy the energy savings and quiet of an inverter compressor ac. Glad to see they are FINALLY becoming available here in the USA. 

The biggest challenge in our swap from the Dometic Dinosaur unit to our littler Hougton was getting units off, and on the roof. 

We used 3 people, safety ropes,,and two ladders. Used carpet, upside down, to slide the new unit forward, after getting it to the top.

Install on our Houghton was pretty straightforward.  All these are set for the standard 14 x 14 approximate  openening. We did have to fare out the opening a bit of some jagged edges. I'll bet you find the same.

Have you seen the install manual? Is it possible to connect the condensate line? We could not with our houghton.

Are you planning to resell the dometic you remove?

Removal made easy, used moving blankets to protect the gel coat. I detailed my a/c swap in Dreiha Atmos 4.4 Home Instal/Ollie Modifications; follow your installation manual, the process should be very similar in general.

They definitely look identical, but what is interesting is that the Pioneer has a 3 year warranty while the Turbro only has 1.

Good morning Folks. I have a friend who has a car lift in his Mancave at Treasure Coast Vault and we are going to use that to lift the units on and off. I am giving him the Dometic for his Race Car Trailer for installing the unit. I ordered a 2 wire Honeywell battery powered thermostat for the Gas Heater so that I can give him the control box for the Dometic.

I am thinking the drain will prolly be abandoned.
