basement heat pump 2004 Itasca compressor blown

[mikejdunphy]

So I have a 2004 34' Horizon Itasca 330HP Cat Diesel Pusher and the basement coleman AC/Heat Pump bit the dust, compressor shorted out and damaged the PC
Board
Apparently since it uses freon its too old and nobody will work on it or replace the parts.
Is my only option to replace it with a new one ... cost is $5300 ? Or is there some folks that still work on these
Model #6535A871
Motorhome is 20 years old and in excellent condition and nothing else wrong and it has low miles just hesitant
about spending that much dough.
The propane heat works but I know we will need AC in the summer.

Years ago I had a Itasca Meridian 36G that blew the basement compressor. I don't know where you are at, but it was replaced by Harolds RV in Bath PA. That is now Fast Lane RV. They were reasonable at the time.
