Raymond,
What year is your coach? I don't recognize the name "Cruisair". Many of us have SCS dual ACs in the basement. I have two double units.
You can call the factory and ask if they have any boards left, but I suspect they don't. There is no source for new boards and the used board (even rebuilt) supply is dwindling.
I dont want to speak for Newell, but I know that they have investigated using other basement AC systems, but have not found a viable solution to our coaches. (I would have long ago swapped out my basement AC units if a reasonable alternative was available).
Can you elaborate on the four failures? I have never heard of a "repaired" board failing a second time.
As you may know there was a design flaw in the boards whereby the current passed through the circuit board traces was in excess to what the board could carry. I had a spectacular failure on one board which resulted in a small fire. As a result I installed a set of high current relays which eliminated the source of the problem.
I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but finding another board is gonna be a difficult proposition. Maybe talk to some of the RV salvage companies.
