Replacing the A/C requires modifying the shell to accept a newer style unit. Basically the opening needs reinforcing to hold the new unit and some changes to use the drip pan from the old unit.
I still think the no title thing is a huge issue though.

Yeah, the title had me nervous too. I made sure he had power of attorney and was prepared to have the bill of sale notarized. I planned to hold the plates hostage untill i received the pink. Goofy California does not require a title to register a trailer! I still wanted the pink though.

I replaced the air conditioner, all three roof vents, new sewer vent gaskets, new window and door gaskets, new clearance lights & tail light lenses, new 7-way fuse panel, new umbilical, new grease seals & new tires, welded frame, sectioned wood floor, new equalizer hitch, and rock guards.

I was well on the way to the three thousand $ over purchase price in mine before I got to the axles, or gas lines, or appliances, or floor covering, or cabinets, or counter tops, or plumbing, or beds, or sofas, or curtains. I expect to have 15k in this trailer using the existing frame, tanks, and axles when I have it in comfortable condition. Mine was complete but unmaintained condition when I bought it. Clear title with current license. The seller was using it the day I bought it. My current avatar is a picture of my trailer the day I brought it home.

I'm not too sure the 15k will get me two new awnings. I think add those to the 15k.

You apply for a "salvage title". The lag, in most States, to be titled, is the coach must be inspected by DMV and deemed "roadworthy".
