Thanks Sparky! <br /><br />Are the electrical power wires to the house AC the only thing left behind after I take it out?<br /><br />Do you cap off the remaining power wires with wire nuts?<br /><br />When I take out the interior part of the house AC (the part attached to the ceiling), is the ceiling underneath that discolored?<br /><br />Thanks again.&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />

I took the roof a/c off of my coachman van camper and replaced with a fan-tastic ventfan. There was no discoloration inside, just an indention in the ceiling fabric where the outer bezel had been. Disconnected the electrical wires for a/c from power distribution center and hooked up to 12v panel and wired fan to the upper end. may be the best mod I have done.

You guys mention using jacks or a fork lift to move the AC after I've disconnected it so I'm assuming it is one heavy beast, right?
