Welcome..........My guess is a 13,500btu unit. Only way to know for sure is go up on the roof. You should be able to read the tag on the unit with the in/fo.

On newer trailers the smaller AC units, under 9000 BTU,
vent out the side of the trailer.

So...

If it vents out the side it's probably 7000 BTU...
If it's on the roof it is probably be 13500 BTU.

However, I believe Dometic use to make these smaller units in rooftop models, which they have discontinued???

So...

On a 13 year old trailer, you'll need to follow the rats advice and get up on the roof.

All the current sidewall units are 8,000 BTU's (at least all the ones I have looked at)

I don't think Dometic has made a roof top unit under 13,500 BTU's in the past 20 years.

Dometic doesn't show any on their current website. I can't find the old Coleman Cub listed on the manufacturer's website either.

LED conversion

I am in the process of converting my light bulbs to LEDs. I have searched around and found good prices and extremely good customer service at this site:https://led4rv.com. Dan has replied to all my questions fast.
I too had problems getting that G4 bulb out until I realized that only the glass portion came out and not the plastic base.

Dometic made a 7000 BTU rooftop AC up through at least 2008. I considered purchasing one back then, because of the lower amp draw, to replace a 13.5 unit on a slide in truck camper. Bought a 13.5 high efficiency unit instead.

The only option listed in the 2002 Cub brochure was for a 13.5 A/C.

LED replacement for 921 bulbs

I purchased LED bulbs to replace the original bulbs in the trailer, and the wife is not happy, being they are not very bright. Has anyone found better LED bulbs that are bright?

Purchased these from Amazon HAMIST T15 3528 42-SMD LED Car Lights Bulb 194

I used the flat plate replacements, they are not quite as bright as the ones they replaced but close enough to suit us.

These are double the wattage of the ones I bought, might be enough brighter for you.

When we replace with LED's we always try to get the flat or pancake style - with the round - you are just reflecting light into the upper part of the fixture....unless you have a different style light in your rv....
