fred heath Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Most Coleman units have 4 studs topside that secure the shroud to the unit. I would think dometic should be similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred heath Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Take a picture of the shroud and the top of the A/C. I’ve never worked with dometic units. Didn’t you have an original shroud to use as a template? Or, go to the mfg home page and download PDF for your unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be the same whether old or new style Dometic™ (Duo-Therm) 3310724.004 OEM Air Conditioner Shroud Screws (pantherrvproducts.com) Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Holy bat poop Batman, TWENTY SIX DOLLARS! Go to the most expensive hardware store in your area and and buy the appropriate number of pan head 3/4 inch number 10 stainless steel screws and washers and install with them. Save about $22. Plus you can pick your own head style, philipps, torax, robertson. Can drill the holes to install or buy self tapping screws. Or you could buy zinc plated #10 X 3/4 truss head screws, these also come in self tapping. Cheaper but will rust over time. The larger head or washer is to keep the screw from working through the plastic over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So , here’s what almost always happens, I followed the measurements from the original Dometic A/C manual I have and bingo . I’m about 2.3 “ to short to meet the foundation plate… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjrbus Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Can't remember details at the moment, there is an old and new Dometic shroud. Both look the same but one is a couple inch's taller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
