Replacing a/c

I need to replace the 15K dometic Duo-therm AC unit on my 07 Cruiser. The fan motor died a few years back and I replaced that (not a fun job but do-able) and all was well but now the unit isn't...

I think the Solvit Lloyd used was an enzyme cleaner and not a citrus based product. Is that correct Lloyd? I was able to find the citrus product Mark refered to but I don't think that is it.
