This AC unit from Advent Air is designed to replace the old or broken Carrier air conditioner on your RV or camper. The included adapter wiring kit ensures that the AC works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Carrier air distribution box and thermostat. The AC has a powerful fan and motor that provides a steady stream of air to efficiently cool the inside of your RV on a hot or muggy day. The included start capacitor will help jumpstart the AC. This beneficial upgrade provides the AC a boost when shore power or generator power isn't enough to start it. And everything you need in order to replace your AC unit is included, which makes installation simple and easy.
Start Capacitor
If your campsite or generator isn't able to draw the power you need, then you may have difficulty starting your AC unit. The included start capacitor, however, can eliminate this problem. The capacitor stores energy that will later be used to jumpstart the AC. Once the sufficient amount of power has been supplied to the AC, the compressor will start to run, and the internal relay switch will turn the start capacitor off. At the same time, the compressor will send "back voltage" to the relay switch and capacitor in order to energize them for the next startup.
Simple Installation
Because your RV is likely already prepped and pre-wired for an AC unit, installation is simple and easy. Most AC units, including this one, are designed to fit an opening that measures 14-1/4" x 14-1/4". Depending on your roof setup, you may need to do minimal alterations. If the opening is larger than 14-3/8" x 14-3/8", you will need to install spacers between the sides of the unit and the opening's edges. If the opening is smaller than 14-1/8" x 14-1/8", you will need to enlarge the hole to fit the unit snugly inside the opening.
On the bottom of the AC, there's a thick, collapsible gasket with 6 noise-reducing foam pads. This provides support between the RV roof and AC and seals the opening to prevent water and outside air from leaking in. Because of this, the use of fresh sealant isn't required during installation.
To install the start capacitor, bolt it to the fan motor support with the included hardware and then route the wires to the run capacitor.
Once installed, the hard plastic cover on the AC can easily be removed for maintenance and cleaning.
Advent Air Warranty Coverage
2-Year limited warranty covers defective units when installed correctly on approved applications. The warranty does not cover units installed incorrectly. To ensure air conditioner is installed correctly, please see the questionnaire pdf below. A filled-out questionnaire is required for warranty coverage.
If you are not comfortable using a voltmeter (or removing the charge from the start capacitor), youll want to make a service appointment with your local RV dealer to verify the installation. Print the pdfs below (warranty- questionnaire, warranty dealer information) and take them along with the RV to your local dealer. ASA does compensate dealers for warranty work as outlined in the dealer information pdf. You may be charged by the dealer for time spent investigating the installation.

This AC unit replaces the Carrier air conditioner on your RV or camper. Included adapter wiring kit enables the AC to work with your existing Carrier setup. The start capacitor jumpstarts the AC when camp power or generator power isn't enough.by: Randy W.05/09/2024
When ordering this Advent with Carrier harness, I asked the sales rep 3 times to ensure it would replace a Carrier Unit that had a heat pump. Explained to her that the owner did not want a heat pump in the new unit, just A/C. Sales rep repeated that this was a direct replacement, just use the included harness and it would work with the Carrier Air Box and control board. Unit arrived and I removed Carrier and installed Advent unit. Wired in adapter harness. Unit would only run on Lo speed fan, no compressor, no Hi Fan. Spent 30 minutes troubleshooting Unit before calling ETRAILER for help. Different sales rep put me on hold and came back to say that there is a Tech Bulletin saying that it is not compatible with Carrier units that had a heat pump. Her only option given was to send me a shipping label to return the Advent unit. Told me that the rep I spoke with previously must have missed it. I suggested ordering a new air handler box and Thermostat to get the Advent working so my customer wouldn't have to pay me to do nothing but swap her old non-working Carrier back on the roof to block the 14" hole in the roof. Now waiting until mid June for a air handler as ETRAILER did not have any in stock. Morale of the story, don't use this on a Carrier that had a heat pump!

While we appreciate etrailer and the ease of ordering process we give the Advent product we ordered 2-stars because not only were ALL 4 of the bolts to this unit not entirely straight upon arrival but one of the bolts did not match the threading in the AC and not only started to strip the bolt but then snapped it in half mid-AC install for our client. What should have been a 1-2 hour job turned into a 4 hour job because we were in a remote area and had to travel into the nearest city to source a new bolt and a tap to fix the threads inside the unit to secure it properly. We were happy that etrailer had what we needed, but Advent needs to have better quality bolts in their kit.
by: Carol 06/01/2024
It works great however one of the bolts that holds it down wouldn’t work. Over all it’s doing a good job though.

It only run 3 hours and stopped running piece of junk so I went and bought a Coleman Mach air conditioner
by: Russell06/22/2023
I received the replacement air conditioner a week earlier than expected which was great! Installation was easy and directions were simple and I am now nice and comfortable. I gave this item a 3 star rating simply because I haven't had it long enough to rate the actual unit.

Great service and very fast shipping. Thank you team etrailer.
by: Stanley 07/15/2023
Just got it installed which was extremely easy !
by: Melissa 07/21/2022
The AC I ordered was exactly what I needed. Installation was not too difficult. The only issue I had was reconnecting the thermostat in the control panel. But I know now, that I should have taken a picture before disconnecting the wires. My husband installed the rooftop unit and I helped him with the wiring.
Installation took 1.5 hours total.
by: Donald 08/23/2022
Very easy installation. Instructions easy to comprehend. We not started and is working fine. Going through e trailer actually save me 900 dollars based on quote frame local tv shop. Thanks a bunch and God bless!

Waiting to install this spring, will let you all know how it goes. Unbelievable fast shipping, all looks good do far
by: Jerry 05/06/2021
we installed the AC unit yesterday and it is working good on low speed but won't run on high fan. Im not sure if it is the fault of the unit or something in the wiring or the printed circuit board. The unit we replaced got to the point that it wouldn't run on high either. Getting the unit on top of the camper was easy once we viewed a video of how it was done, and we got the old unit down with no problem using the rope and ladder.
by: Alan 07/31/2022
Easy install. Carrier wire harness plugs right in.
by: Mark05/09/2022
Everything about this purchase was top notch! The order arrived as promised. The instructions were easy to follow and the replacement went without any problems. Thank You!
by: Willis W02/13/2020
This is a great product. Bolted on easy, wiring connected up very nice allowing me to use original controls. Used it last summer and it works real good. I couldn't be happier.
by: Ernest 10/24/2022
by the time I received the unit, motor home was in storage. Installed it in May, it works great, went in well.

- What do you Recommend to Replace my Carrier Air V Air Conditioner?I have a really good solution for you but we do not stock any carrier A/C units and I was unable to find any for sale anywhere else. With that said in order to replace your Carrier Air V RV Air Conditioner I recommend using the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup we have these available in two BTU or cooling capabilities part # ACCAR150 is rated for 13,500 Btu's and is really good for small to smaller medium type campers or part # ACCAR135 rated for 15,000 Btu's...
view full answer... - Recommended RV Air Conditioner For A 2008 Rockwood 282XRT Popup CamperOut of the RV air conditioners we carry the Advent Air units have the smallest roof thickness requirement at 2-1/2" - 5" thick. In the attached installation video you can see how David increased the thickness of the roof to be able to install a new unit. If you want to completely replace your system (rooftop unit & air distribution box) then I recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Start Capacitor - 13,500 Btu # ACM135C. If you want to replace just the...
view full answer... - Will the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup Work With Existing Wireless RemoteThe Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup part # ACCAR135 will reuse any existing controls you have as it will reuse the same air distribution box unit that is currently installed. It simply replaces the above overhead unit and includes the adapter needed to allow you to reuse the same air distribution box. Therefore, if your old unit used a wireless remote you would still be able to reuse this with the new overhead unit.

This will fit exactly where your Carrier fits so you don't have to worry about compatibility, and this comes with the start capacitor. We unfortunately don't have any start capacitors that we know are compatible with a Carrier Air AC unit.

view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Carrier Air-V RV Air ConditionerI'm not sure of the power draw of your current Carrier V AC unit, but when running, the 15K BTU # ACCAR150 and the 13.5K BTU # ACCAR135 only draw 15 amps, so as long as you keep the additional power usage to a minimum, you shouldn't continue having problems. Either unit features a start capacitor which stores power for the next startup which helps eliminate the large spikes in power draw when the compressor starts. Either unit is compatible with ducted or non-ducted systems. You might...

The Advent Air Air Distribution Box # ACRG15 doesn't have the ability to wire into your furnace so you would lose functionality of it. If by heat you mean a heat pump then you lost that when you installed the Advent Air condenser unit # ACCAR135 since the heat pumps are in the rooftop units. You can supplement...

view full answer... - Replacement AC Recommendations for Carrier V on a Jayco Class C MotorhomeTo replace just the AC unit I recommend going with the Advent Air as the wiring will just be a plug and play installation: - 13.5K Btu # ACCAR135 - 15K Btu # ACCAR150 These will work with your current distribution panel so everything will fit the same. For a complete new AC system (including the distribution box) I recommend going with a Furrion Chill HE because the distribution box has a smaller 19-11/16" long x 19-11/16" wide profile: - 13.5K Btu # FR52PR - 15K Btu # FR92PR

view full answer... - Replacement AC Unit Recommendation for a Carrier AC UnitI'd be happy to help you choose a new AC unit! We unfortunately don't carry the Dometic AC units at this point in time (May 2023) but we do have some alternatives. If you're needing something to plug right into your Carrier setup we have an Advent Air system that uses the same connections: - 13.5K Btu # ACCAR135 - 15K Btu # ACCAR150 For a completely new system with a thermostat I recommend checking out the Furrion Chill HE systems: - 13.5K Btu # FR95PV - 15K Btu # FR55PV

Advent has their 13,500 BTU AC units # ACCAR135 for white or # ACCAR135B for black that include an adapter that makes it a direct replacement for your Carrier unit. I also recommend installing a Start Capacitor # ACMSCKIT for your AC unit. This product stores enough...

However, it still requires a 2-1/2" to 5" roof thickness, so you'd have to build out your roof (where your AC is) with some kind of supports to install the Advent # ACCAR135.
