Michelle,
The shrouds available from Icon Direct will NOT fit your BayBreeze PERIOD. You really have no choice but to either go with a homebrew version or get one of the correct shrouds from Inland RV. Note that the one that Andy (Inland RV) is selling does NOT appear to have the side louvers or the top section. You would need to find those parts in addition to the actual shroud (talk to Inland RV about them). They were made of aluminum and riveted into the plastic shroud. You REALLY, do want to go with an original design if at all possible. ONLY the sides and top need to be open, but again, shrouds for other units will NOT work on your unit.
Do I understand that the POs homemade shroud was SOLID on the top? That would totally screw up the operation of the AC unit. The opening on the top is where all the exhaust hot air from the condenser exited. There ABSOLUTELY MUST be an opening on the top the diameter of the fan blade so as to allow the fan to exhaust.

Is there a problem with going without a shroud for the time being as long as I stay away from the low hanging branches? I am hoping i could get an icon to fit, I like their price and warranty better than the inland one.
