Air Conditioner Trouble

Our Airstream had a metal cover over the top of the air conditioner unit.  So I had no idea what was under it.  I was hoping it would be something salvageable.  Unfortunately this is what I found.

This picture shows that junker of an A/C unit removed.  It was held on by 4 large bolts from the inside unit and about 100 rivets!  Each rivet had to be drilled out and replaced with an Olympic rivet and vulkem.

The new Duo-Therm in place.  It took two ladders and my brother to get it up there.  This unit is very heavy.  Each of us walked up a ladder and set the A/C on the roof.  Next we got on the roof careful to only stand on the rivet lines where the beams were and gently set the A/C on the Airstream drain pan over the opening.

Here is a good shot of the drain pan.

Here is the drain pan to drain tube connections.  The white elbow goes to the drain tube built into the trailer wall.
