AC crunched

At the end of June a storm dumped three pine trees on top of our 89 Excella. We have been to JC to get the dented panel replaced in the curve of the curbside. They were able to fix the dent in the center front panel. Replaced the refrig. vent and rebent the door so that it closes well again. However, the brunt of the force came down on the Coleman AC. There is NO shroud to be had anywhere that we have looked. All of the places that we have called say it is obsolete. Does anyone have any leads on a place that we might be able to find this shroud? It is a Coleman Super Mach.
We are headed to the AirPocono event and it sure would be nice if the AC wasn't flying apart as we go down the road. Thanks!
Lou

Yep

We have tried a search which turned up all of those and we called and checked with all of them. NO luck! Their universal Coleman shroud does not fit a Super Mach. Thanks for trying! Looks like we are looking for a used one somewhere.

Omg!

Sorry it happened to your "new" unit. Glad it wasn't worse! Good luck in your search for a shroud... Perhaps your insurance would pop for a new A/C if you can't find a replacement shroud? Well you could hope anyway!

Paula

PS Karen will be relieved it wasn't the Minuet!

I'm betting if you did find a used one that the plastic will be so brittle that it may not survive shipping.
You may want to also look for a deal on a new ac unit. I think there are a few Carrier units left out there on sale.
Good Luck

Thanks very much! We are driving with the old one which has one side all torn up. Larry keeps putting duct tape on it to help it hold together. It is very brittle and has a crunch in the top. So far so good. Yes, please get us the name and number of the place and we will call them with the model numbers and stuff. Your help is appreciated.

You are probably right, but we are dealing with insurance claims here. We must try all of their resources and then see what happens next. This particular model is a Coleman Super Mach, which Coleman says is obsolete. We believe it may be original equipment but aren't sure. It is a 13,500BTU and still blowing cold air. We were hopeful. Patience may turn up something. Thanks for your help.
