Best thing to do is contact Jimmy Davis at the factory. You will have two issues. One is that the shift in weight will require hefty adjustment (and possibly replacement) of the torsion bars that counterbalance the front and rear shells. The other is that you'll have a whopper of a hole in the roof of the rear shell that will need to be filled and patched.

My 2002 has the Duo Therm 579 Brisk Air on the front shell. Shortly after mine was built, the factory did move to a slightly lower-profile unit, from Coleman, I believe. I'm not sure offhand what model - perhaps the Mach 3 - but someone will post the answer. It saved only an inch or two in height, IIRC, but in a garage situation, that can make all the difference.
