Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Advent Air Black Low Profile 15,000 BTU RV Air Conditioner for your carrier setup. This low profile air conditioner unit is gonna let you replace your carrier rooftop air conditioner on your RV or camper with a low profile air conditioner. And the included wiring kit is going to enable this air conditioner to work with your existing carrier setup. And the low profile design is going to minimize wind resistance to help improve your fuel efficiency, and also give you additional overhead clearance.
Now this 15,000 BTU per hour air conditioner is going to quickly and efficiently cool the inside of your RV or camper. And this is going to be compatible with your ducted or ductless systems. And this is going to be a bolt-on installation with the included hardware. Now I do wanna point out that this air conditioner is gonna be great for your motor homes, your travel trailers and your 5th-wheels. However, this has not been approved to be used on school buses, food trucks, enclosed utility trailers or off-roading vehicles, just so you're aware of that.
Now, this is going to fit roofs from two and a half inches to five inches thick with an opening size of 14 and a quarter inches long by 14 and a quarter inches wide. And this is going to be about 31 inches long. So just to kinda give you an idea of the size here. Measuring from the back to the front, we're sitting at about 31 inches long. And then the overall width, we're sitting at about 24 and 15, 16 inches wide.
And then the overall height, we're gonna be sitting right about 10, and a quarter inches tall, and the air conditioner itself weighs a little under 70 pounds. Now what I would like to do is just take off the cover here real quick to give you a view of the inside. I went ahead and removed the screws before our time together just to make removing that cover a little bit quicker. So you have a idea here of what the inside looks like from that point of view, but I want to give you, I think what would be a better view of the inside from overhead. So bringing that into frame there.
This air conditioner does have a fan blade with a three speed motor that's going to give you ample air flow at 500 cubic feet per minute. This air conditioning does feature a condensation dispersion system, which is going to increase cooling efficiency by managing moisture to prevent water runoff. So hopefully that gives you a good look at the there from overhead. I'm gonna go ahead and replace this cover, but while I do, I just wanna point out that this cover is a really nice piece, pretty thick, hard plastic. Of course, it's in a a black color. And this is going to do a great job of protecting the internal components of this air conditioner from water and debris. And there's some other RV air conditioners that I've looked at in the past that some of those covers can be kind of thin, kind of flimsy. That's not the case with this cover from Advent Air. It feels very durable, very strong, and I think it's going to do a great job of protecting the inside. As you can see, this is gonna be very easy to remove, and to replace. So if you're needing to do a little bit of maintenance on it, or maybe you want to clean it out before the beginning of camping season, all you gotta do is remove the screws that secure this into place with the Phillips head screwdriver, pop it off, do your cleaning, and then as you can see, it's very easy to put back on. It has this nice snug fit. And then just replace those screws, and tighten them down, and you will be good to go. I do wanna point out that this does feature a rigid metal frame. And then underneath, let me see if I can try to give you a better view there. You probably can't see it too well, but underneath we do have very thick foam support pads that's going to provide support between your RV roof and your air conditioner. And so this, this is going to do a great job of reducing noise while it's installed on top of the roof of your RV. And then the gasket is going to seal the opening to prevent water seepage and air leaks. Now, I wanted to just give you a closer look of these components here. I've already mentioned this wiring adapter kit that's going to plug into your carrier setup. So that's that. And then looking at this capacitor here, this start capacitor as you probably know, is going to jumpstart your air conditioner when you're at a campsite or using a generator. A generator that just doesn't provide enough power to get your air conditioner started up. And this capacitor is gonna store energy. It's later gonna be used for your next startup. So this is going to install inside of your air conditioner, and it's gonna be a very simple install. And so that's included. Hardware is also included to get that installed for you. And this is UL and CUL certified. And we do also provide this kit with a white cover if the black cover isn't going to go well with your setup. And if 15,000 BTU is too much BTU, too high of a BTU rating for you, we do also carry this in 13,500 BTUs as well. So we do have those other options all available here at etrailer.com for you. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Low-profile AC unit replaces the Carrier air conditioner on your RV or camper. Included adapter wiring kit enables the AC to work with your existing setup. The start capacitor jumpstarts the AC when camp power or generator power isn't enough.direct replacement as advertised,easy to do, hard part is getting it on the roof, good instructions, but I youtubed it, also to make sure I was right....definaly do it again,e trailer was great staying in touch..
So EASY it aughta’ be CHEESY!!! Unboxed AC Unit, noticed two dents in the unit but none of the parts looked damaged or inconsistent; So I decided not to call regarding minor damage, instead I decided to install it by using two ramps I made out of scrap wood. TIP: the wooden ramps made it so simple to install the unit with minimal effort and two people. This made it a breeze to put in and I really recommend using this tip when installing your unit… The New Advent AC Unit made is so simple to plug into the dometic. This unit is made for easy installation and almost a universal fit. Great Experience at this establishment and happy with their product and selection of RV and Trailer parts. I will definitely recommend to all my fellow RV’ers! Happy Shopping! Always remember… Keep your library card updated!??????
I purchased this 15,000 BTU unit with the direction from customer service. I was told that it was a replacement for my original Dometic AC on my 5th wheel and that it would mount and have identical wiring.
They were very helpful and correct. It was extremely easy to replace. The mounting bolts and wiring hook up were identical to my old unit. The hardest part was getting it on the roof of my camper which actually wasn’t that difficult. I put an old piece of carpet (upside down) on the roof to protect it. I used my tractor with a front loader to lift it as high as I could then just set it up on the roof.
Once I removed the diverter/trim from the inside ceiling there are 4 bolts holding the unit in place, one wiring plug and the freeze sensor attached to the evaporator. Once that was all done it just lifted off the roof. After cleaning the roof where the old unit set, I simply set the new unit on the same seal footprint. I went inside hook up the wire plug, located the freeze sensor and tightened the 4 bolts. Don’t tighten the bolts too tight, just enough to hold it tight and adequately compress the foam seal.
The overall size of the new unit is shorter and smaller than the Dometic.
So far so good, I ordered two of these to replace my existing units.
One unit arrived damaged, but is working OK.
They seem a little noiser than the Coleman Machs.
Working good so far.
Changed out dometic 13,500 BtU conditioner with 15,000 BTU with Advent Air. The fit was exactly the same dimensions with the same plug for thermostat and other controls. All I had to reconnect was the 115v electric. When started it took about 30 seconds for fan ramp up to full speed and then compressor kicked in. Two people took two hours. One person had previous experience. Should work well cooling a 30ft fifth wheel camper.
We are very happy with our Etrailer purchase! We replaced our 13.5K BTU Dometic Brisk 2 with a comparable low-profile Advent unit. As we were not totally sure of which unit to purchase, we made a quick call into the call center to confirm compatibility. The call center was very friendly & helpful. We received our A/C unit in a timely manner with only 1 minor dent from the shipping process. This did not appear to compromise the unit's function, so we proceeded with the install. As many customers have noted previously, the hardest part of the installation was getting the unit onto the roof. Installing the provided start capacitor went smoothly and the unit fit our Coachmen Apex's measurements well. The plugs & wiring were compatible making the final change-over very easy. As noted in the unit's description, installation hardware is not included in the purchase but was not necessary, as our existing hardware fit precisely. Our new unit is better-looking & much more aerodynamic and compact. Best of all it is MUCH quieter & seems to cool very efficiently in our humid, Southern heat!! Etrailer saved us hundreds of dollars with this purchase, and we can't be more satisfied. Thank you Etrailer! :)
I included a photo of my husband's method of getting the unit onto the roof for your enjoyment.
This item did not arrive today. I ordered a package deal with the rv AC and the distribution ent with thermostat. Today I received the distribution vent with the thermostat. Why sell as a complete set with the item doesn’t ship together. On item came from Missouri and the other is coming from Utah. Installation was set for tomorrow but that is not going to happen. Funny thing is while ordering it stated it was in stock and would be arriving today. Just missing my AC unit. Not the best service from etrailer.
I received this awesome air conditioner unit in a week. Was a very easy install with great instructions. Blows very cold. Good unit
I don't know about longevity however I replaced 2 Dometic Brisk 2 systems on a camper I bought that needed a little more than tlc. It is a 2 zone Dometic system and these plugged right up. Only had them in a for a few days but they work great! Very pleased. I am hoping they last. Shipping was FAST and Etrailer kept me up to date on status. They were also very helpful with questions I had to make sure they would work with my system. I think these are actually quieter than the Dometics I replaced. Not hard to install, in fact the hardest part was getting them on the roof.
Easy to install, direct replacement for the Domestic air conditioner on my Coleman camper
Good air conditioner, but fan won't shut off after set temperature is met
Item arrived damaged by UPS. I contacted etrailer & they are sending a replacement. Very good customer service. As you can looks like the unit was thrown around during shipping.
The A/C seem to be a good value and the customer service from Britney was great. It was not clear to me that this unit didn't include all of the inside the camper components and thermostat as shown in the installation video.
Much more compact and lighter than original unit and came when anticipated. This unit Beatrice made sure the crossover from Coleman to Advent was compatible and right adapter was used. Love dealing with e trailer as I can speak to real people that I can understand and know what they are talking about.
AC works, however, the bottom half of the unit was bent, someone damaged (bent it) the bottom portion and must have put a new top cover on it and boxed the unit up. The box was in perfect shape.
Etrailer folks were extremely helpful! Sheila thank you! The casing had some minor dents in the sides therefore I gave 4 stars. I was able to pull them back out. Advent needs better packaging in their boxes to protect the unit!
The replacement air conditioner works perfectly. The base plate on my original Coleman was smaller, so we have to make some adjustments otherwise everything works great.
Disappointed, I called before ordering the female I talked to told me that my current metal flange and plastic distribution would work with the new Advent AC. Not really, I tried to use the existing flange it turned into a huge pain. I watched the video for the install and it seemed to me that the divider or plenum was included with the AC- Nope, this part also I think is included with the lower unit part # ACRG15 but.... the customer service rep wasn't sure a little disappointed. So now I have ordered part # ACRG15 paid more shipping! In final learn from my mistake customer service reps are not sure about want you need for a complete job, just order everything send back what you don't use.
Affordable, good quality, easy install! This was a plug and play replacement for my old dometic. I saved so much money.
Almost wanted to give it 5 stars only thing so far I dislike was the discharge opening was off to one side and my stock unit was in the middle. With summer coming on we will put it to the test.it is nice a quiet outside.
Arrived early, had some damage on the case but works as should and plugged right in to my Dometic setup. I’m glad I used etrailer and will again if needed
I am very happy with my purchase,it showed up in only a few day and was exactly as advertised, additionally the ease of instalation was a pleasant surprise ans I am enjoying it very much.
Thank you etrailer keep up the good work!
The Advent A/C was delivered in good physical condition. I have not installed it yet. UPS had it sitting in their truck on its end. I do not think that is good for the compressor. Hopefully it starts and runs with no issues when I install it next week. Fast friendly customer service and delivery. Thank you Etrailer.
Everything was exactly what what I needed to get chilling again
My customer needed a unit asap . Ashley found a similar unit that was in stock for me. It shipped quickly and I installed it this morning. Called customer and she was a very happy camper!
