That ain;t Mr.Clean you smell

Sorry Randy, it's gone.

You can get new guts and keep the cabinet.

Saves some money.

Don't let anyone in the trailer.

A sudden big blow of ammonia can kill, very quickly.

Open all the windows and let the cooling unit finish leaking.

You can probably get a new unit from PPL there in Texas, or a rebuilt unit from Jones in Illinois, if you don't want to mess with replacing the cooling unit. While not tough, it is not for the faint of heart.
