Sounds like the boy got screwed. Too bad I wasn't around. Here's the sad truth on trailer AC units
First, many state laws codes are incredibly restrictive. In WA state, trailers do not fall under housing codes, but state L and I. There's some stupid reg that the system has to "match" meaning that if a used trailer with say, a Coleman gas furnace, you cannot adapt a Lennox AC unit.
Additionally, many trailier systems are so incredibly tight for size and modularized, that adaptation of other units is nigh impossible, anyway.
I do agree, though, that this may or may not be a less expensive problem. One thing you SHOULD have done long ago is to get a second opinion. Just what was supposed to be wrong that you've put so much money into this unit?
Also, with the recent transition of R22 to other refrigerants--of which I haven't kept up as I'm retired--replacing an OD unit with a mismatched ID unit could be a problem. Back in the "R22" days it was no problem for me to replace an OD unit REGARDLESS of the brand of the indoor section, possibly replace the metering device, and recharge as necessary.
ON THE OTHER HAND if you have a unit that was originally sloppily sized and installed, and has been plagued with leaks, bandaids and poorly done repairs---the repair guy could very well be right
So, LUCASBOY, the namesake of which is of one of the most awful automotive electrics on the planet, be careful who you 'dis. I'm pretty proud of being honest in my years of HVAC repairs.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
