Specs:
Paired with your AC unit (sold separately), this electric heat strip keeps your RV warm on a cold or frosty morning. It is operated with the control dial on the air distribution box (sold separately). After you turn the dial to the heat setting, the compressor will shut off, and the fan will blow air over the heater and into your RV. When the optimal temperature has been reached, turn the dial to a fan or cooling setting. Please also note that the heat strip only has one temperature setting and cannot be controlled by the thermostat.
To install, mount the heat strip to the evaporator inside the AC unit with the included mounting screws. The heat strip has easy, plug-and-play installation with the supplied 30" power cord.

This electric heat strip works with your AC unit (sold separately) to remove the chill from your RV or camper on cold or frosty mornings. Power cord and mounting hardware are included for easy, plug-and-play installation.Was hoping this would produce at least a bit of heat. Installed and then tested it while temp outside was 30F. First it drew more than 15amps, had to start the generator in order to produce enough amps to keep it running. After 20 minutes no real heat, so kinda sad. However customer service here is great.
Wish it was better, but hay not always what you expect, but I tried.
Very fast delivery time. Excellent packaging to help prevent damage during shipment. Haven't installed parts yet but everything looks good.
Always get knowledgeable people at etra iler
I received the heater unit & promptly installed it. Being a competent mechanical type, I found the installation to be straightforward but a bit painful. On the left side (w/elect terminals) was a slot in the protective metal screening for the purpose of using a screwdriver to install the 2 short screws. Difficulty came when trying to weave the screwdriver through terminal ends and wires while trying to guide the screw into the bracket slots.
On the opposite end, there were no electrical terminals, but neither was there a slot in the screening. This required a small diameter Phillips screwdriver to get through the metal screening. In my case it took way longer than one would anticipate to install 4 small screws. It was all good in the end & I am pleased with the product, how it is integrated into the a/c unit and how it functions.
It may be worth mentioning in the video & written instruction, that the HEAT position on the air distribution box also provides power to the fan for heat circulation. I did not see or hear that mentioned anywhere and caused me to question it. By trial, I discovered it's functionality.

Can this be installed as a standalone unit?

Advent ac unit works extremely well. I have two that are installed in vintage camping trailers as replacements for the 1970s OEM units. They installed easily & function flawlessly. I would not hesitate to buy yet another if the occassion arises.
Very easy to install, just plug and play. I wish it were a bit quieter but all on all an improvement over the ac unit it replaced.
fit perfect
Works great in an enclosed area like an RV riser area. Pretty easy to install with only a couple of tools.
Great service
Good product for keeping the chill off in the mornings.
Doesn't work very well. Very disappoint ed
A very good air conditioner with a very poor design and quality With a few modifications of my own it works very good now
I can't rate this until I receive my air box to check it out.

I have looked into your order and it looks like the airbox should have arrived to you by now. I would love to hear your updated feedback on that as well as this heat strip.
New heater kit for new AC and was another exact replacement and easy install.
Haven’t had an opportunity to test in unit trying to troubleshoot cooling
Simple install!!!
Plug and play easy work
Great product. Install is easy. Took top cover off removed chamber cover. Installed heat strip with the 4 provided screws put covers back on. Went inside plugged in the provided plug turned it on works great. Whole thing Took 15 minutes.
We had not bought all we needed the first time and the direction and support to fulfill what we needed was wonderful. your personal were a great help and friendly professional. they new what they were doing. Thank You!
Product delivered in a timely manner and as advertised
I installed two of these strips. Installation is incredibly simple. You can get this done in 30 minutes or less with just a screwdriver. The one I installed above the main cabin keeps the RV comfortable. My bedroom area is signicantly smaller and the unit that services it keeps it quite warm. I usually have to cycle the fan and heat option to keep the temperature where I like. The Advent heat strip is a good option. For reference, I am living full time in my RV.
Fairly easy to install and seems to work. Too hot now to tell.
Would not work on this ac unit
Delivered as said
Takes the chill off
I installed the heat strip in my Advent air conditioner and it worked great, instructions were very good and it worked well, nice and warm. We had just installed the ac unit in a pop up camper and it was great, does not drip water on roof. Very happy. Steve

Still working fine, not as much heat as I was hoping however it helps in not having to use propane as much.
