Here is the content from an earlier thread which can be viewed in entirety in the HVAC section of the forum in the July 2012 range.

Good luck and safe travels.

I had an email conversation with Linda Pannell At Victory Climate Systems yesterday (July 9, 2012).

They have 17 original control boards in stock for $225 each, plus shipping .

She can be reached at linda.pannell@vcsemail.com

or by phone at (817) 293-3331.

I think that the rumor that they are out of business is in error.
What happened was a group of capital investors by a name like Victory
Partners LLC executed a leveraged buyout of SCS Frigette. SCS made a
bunch of stuff for automobiles, trucks, buses, and military vehicles
including in-dash and in-dash-in-cabin AC systems, cruise controls and
keyless entry and security systems.

The new company was Named Victory Climate systems which abandoned the
SCS R-VAC products. They have been actively liquidating the acquired
inventory. Now, the 17 control boards are all that remains.

O.K. I know that sounds ominous, but I think repeat, think that
there is an option. The coleman unit has a control board which basically
does the same thing. I suspect it could be adapted to these RVAC
units. Also, I read, but cannot find at this time, a posting on one
of the marine forums in which a control board was replaced entirely with
a couple of 2-stage thermostats.

Also, the coleman unit is a drop in replacement for the R-VAC. One
of the marine supply houses in Stuart Florida has the 27,000 btu dual
(13500 btu) stage ac on sale for $1700. plus shipping.

Apparently the biggest part of the changeout is a rework of the
ducting near the unit and installation of a coleman thermostat (makes
things easier), although the SCS thermostat will work.

Terry,

I don’t have any experience with this product. How about it folks? Anyone out there that can help Terry? Was this used on some Vantare coaches?

If I am correct, these are the basement a/c units. The original company name was Coleman for the rooftop but when they manufactured the basement units they changed the name to RV Products, a divison of AIRXCel, Inc. I have spoken to them many times in the tech department, very helpful. The prefer to talk tocompany installers but when I explained I was the installer b/c I am the one building the coach, the tech man said okay and helped me chase down several problems. I have basement heat pumps manufactured by them, model 6536. The last number I have for them is 316-832-4357. I do not believe these are unique to vantare
