Looking for at least one airbag for an 82 fc35?

Planning on changing myself, although I have never done one I feel I
can fix most anything.

Also looking at a coach that has 3 Cruise Air AC units inside the
coach, not on the roof. Anybody know anything about theese units?
They seam to be working.

Thanks
John

I am the New owner of an 1982 maybe 1983 Wanderlodge FC35.
Any info would be great.
Thank you

John,

I have the cruise-airs on my coach and love them. They're much quieter
than the roof mounted units and don't take away from your head room.
When I went looking for a coach, cruise-airs were a requirement.

The down side is they're much more expensive to service and replace.
Last I checked I think a full cruise-air replacement was in the
neighborhood of $5000 per unit. A roof mounted unit can be had for a
grand, give or take a couple hundred bucks. Still, I wouldn't trade my
cruise-airs for roof-airs, I'd replace them all no matter the cost if
they all died today.

Does anyone think it would be possible to use one of the fairly common "mini split" AC or heat pump units out there nowadays as an alternative to conventional roof-top or cruise-air units on a Bluebird? They come in sizes as small as 1/2 ton, (which pulls only 7 amps or so at 110).

Think it is just something different that I know nothing about.
I have zero extra headroom as it is, I am 6'6" so I am ducking as it is.
Don't know if they are fully working or not yet.
can you run all three on the genset?
thanks
John

Alan, I wonder about survival of a delicate appliance not intended
for the road. not to say it would not hold up, just hope the rv ac
units account for the bounce.

If you're talking about a cooling output unit that hangs on a wall and the compressor is remote (as in the basement), then I have seen one in a Neoplan bus conversion. The owner/converter said it worked well and he runs it off the inverter when boondocking. The bus has lots of space for a remote compressor.
