Technical Overview
Overview & Function
The Coleman 36515-011 is a 13,500 BTU basement air conditioner that mounts beneath the coach floor instead of on the roof. Basement placement lowers the center of gravity, frees roof space for solar and storage, and keeps service access at standing height. As a same-number replacement, the 36515-011 reconnects to the existing duct system and power feed for a like-for-like renewal.
Fitment & Compatibility
This unit fits coaches built around the 36515-011 basement configuration. Confirm the number on your compartment tag and verify duct connections match before ordering. Electrical supply, breaker sizing, and thermostat pairing must follow the original installation specification.
Technical Construction & Specifications
The 13,500 BTU refrigeration circuit is packaged in an under-coach enclosure with road-debris protection and drainage provisions for condensate. The blower section is sized for the coach duct static of the original design. Controls integrate with the matched wall thermostat family for temperature management.
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Basement unit replacement typically needs a lift or pit plus two technicians. Disconnect all power, document duct, drain, and wiring connections, and extract the old unit on rated equipment. Set the new 36515-011 on its mounts, reconnect ducts with fresh seals, and wire per the diagram. Test cooling, airflow balance, and condensate drainage before returning to service.
