    Considering the &$×# that comes out of China, you know you can't rely on the levels to be level, right?

    One little level I bought from a well-known online trailer supply, turned out to be a full bubble off-level.

    Can't depend on anything, nowadays... (spoken by a miserly old crotchety geezer, I'm sure)

    Hi, I'm also wanting to change out my factory A/C.  First of all, its super loud, the temp control knob broke on my second outing, and I don't like how I can't direct the air very well.  I can't seem to find here in this post if there are other models that work in the 2015 S Max opening?  Did anyone actually find another model that fits? Thanks 

    Has anyone tried this model? Its still probably very loud and hard to direct air, but I would like a stronger model. The 5,000 btu's just doesn't cut it with the heat the fridge puts out and a super hot day.

    Ratkity - It's really slight - like two turns of the jack and a couple extra cranks on the drivers side leveler. Can hardly see it on the bubble levels.

    The original Kenmore AC in my 2015 T@b 320 finally quit. I ordered a replacement Frigidaire from Home Depot for $169. It looks exactly the same - looks like they just slapped Frigidaire on it instead of Kenmore. 
    I read a lot of posts. I didn’t have “2 screws that kept it from sliding forward”, so you’ll note that I put a strap on the front anchored by the wooden frame. Also, the old cowling didn’t fit, so I guess I’ll travel “cowling-less”. I used a can of compressed air to clean the drain tube hole (located at the front passenger side of the drip tray). I’m a 63yo woman so my neighbor (thank god for Bert!) lifted it up into the cabinet for me. The whole procedure was easier than I thought.
