How It Works
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.
Simple Installation
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.

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.

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?

I do have an option for you but the heat strip cannot be used as a standalone heater for your trailer. It will need to be plugged into an Advent AC unit (ACM135, ACM135B, ACM150, or ACM150B). If you have one of those units the heat strip will allow you to set your air distribution box to only blow warm air. It sounds like you need a standalone trailer heater like part # CAM57341.

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.
by: Lewis10/20/2023
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.

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.

Product delivered in a timely manner and as advertised
by: Mike 10/28/2022
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.
by: Doug 08/26/2023
Fairly easy to install and seems to work. Too hot now to tell.

- Availability of Advent 13,500 Btu Air Conditioner with Air Distribution Box # ACRG15 There isn't a full Advent Air Kit available that includes the Air Distribution Box # ACRG15 in place of the standard model, however you could piece together your own kit using the individual components. To match the contents of the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner Kit # ACM135CH you were looking at (except for the Air Distribution Box) you would just need part # ACM135 for the 13,500 Btu AC itself, # ACMHD for the Heat Strip, # ACMSCKIT for the Start Capacitor, and # ACRG15 for the upgraded...
view full answer... - Advent Air AC Unit to Replace Dometic Penguin UnitThe Advent Air RV AC unit part # ACDOM150 will plug into the same wiring as your Dometic Penguin since this unit was designed for fitting in place of Dometic setups. To add a heat strip you'd just need the part # ACMHD. This is not a heat pump though.
view full answer... - Replacement for Carrier 13,500 Btu Air Conditioner & Heat Without ThermostatSince you don't have a thermostat, you'll need to replace your entire AC unit, and for a 13,500 Btu unit that has everything you need, there is one from Advent: - Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Wall Thermostat - 13,500 Btu # ADV44FR The Advent # ADV44FR is compatible with ducted and non-ducted systems so it will work for you, and you can actually choose to add the heat or forgo it with a heat strip, the Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMHD.
view full answer... - Replacement AC Unit for Dometic Duo Therm 15k BTU with Heat StripWe have AC replacement solutions that will work great in place of your Dometic Duo Therm 15k BTU unit with a heat pump but we don't carry the Dometic brand so we can't get their replacement parts. The Advent Air Unit part # ACM150 was designed to fit in place of a Dometic unit while also being a 15k unit so it would be a great option. It can have a heat strip added to it as well like the # ACMHD. This will plug right into the same connectors as your Dometic for an easy install.

Coleman Mach Adapter Wiring Kit for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACCOLKIT. Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners - 5,500 BTU # ACMHD. I recommend the Advent Air unit and the Coleman Mach wire adapter to hook into your Coleman set up so you can use all of the same components and just replace the actual roof top unit. This unit does not come with a heat pump. However, you can easily...
view full answer... - Replacement Air Conditioner for Carrier Brand RV Rooftop UnitThe Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup w/ Start Capacitor - 13,500 Btu - White # ACCAR135 will work as a replacement. It will utilize your current wiring utilizing a special harness so you will be able to still even be able to use your remote. It is a direct replacement that will work very well for you. If you want to upgrade to a larger system the 15,000 Btu unit that will also work is # ACCAR150.
view full answer... - Wattage Draw Of An Advent Air 15,000 BTU RV AC Unit And Heat StripThe Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Wall Thermostat - 15,000 Btu - White # ADV64FR has a starting wattage of 2,800 watts. Advent Air was unable to give me a running wattage but it's typically half of the starting wattage so you'd be looking at roughly 1,400 watts. As for the Heat Strip Electric # ACMHD, he didn't have a definitive answer but stated it was roughly 6-12 watts.
view full answer... - Replacement AC Unit Needed For Ducted Dometic Set-UpI recommend the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup w/ Start Capacitor, # ACDOM150. This is a 15,000 btu unit that can have the Electric Heat Strip, # ACMHD added. This AC unit from Advent Air is designed to replace the old Dometic air conditioner on your RV. It plugs directly into your Dometic setup and works with your existing, in-good-working-order Dometic air distribution box and thermostat. You will be able to use your current vent assembly and your current...
view full answer... - Are Advent Air RV Air Conditioners Able To Be Installed On Enclosed Trailers Advent Air has recently updated their warranty terms and will not support usage of their AC's unless they're installed on a camper or motorhome. You can still definitely use their systems, but you would be voiding the warranty and have to pay out of pocket for any issues or replacement parts. If you want to still go with them then you can get the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ACM150C and heat strip # ACMHD. If not, then I recommend going with the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner...
view full answer... - Is There A Heat Strip Available For An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System Yes, you're looking for the Advent Air Heat Strip # ACMHD to go along with your # ACM150. This system requires a 14-1/4" long x 14-1/4" wide roof opening, which is pretty typical for all RV air conditioner systems. I highly recommend getting the start capacitor # ACMSCKIT as well to cut down on the power surge every time your unit starts up.
view full answer... - Replacement AC Unit for Dometic Duo Therm that Uses Same ControlsFor replacing the Dometic Duo Therm that you have now you would want the Advent Air part # ACDOM135B which is also a 13.5k BTU unit. Since what you have now has a heat pump you'd also want the heat strip part # ACMHD and you'd be set. This will allow you to use your current wiring and controls as well.
view full answer... - Direct Replacement for Carrier Air V 15,000 Btu Rooftop Air ConditionerThe closest to a direct replacement of your Carrier Air V RV Air Conditioner is the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup, # ACCAR150 for 13,500 Btu's or, # ACCAR135 for 15,000 Btu's. This will install using the ceiling vent and thermostat that you currently have. Therefore the installation process is relatively easy as it is close to plug-n-play. This also comes with a start capacitor to reduce wattage required to start the unit. This does not have a heat pump but...

Furrion does have their own heat strip but it only works with their air distribution boxes that have the controls and not with wall mounted thermostat models. The # FR42PV is a direct replacement for your current Advent Air rooftop...

This is a 15k btu unit which means it can put out quite a bit of cool air to keep your RV cool and also since it was intended for replacing Carrier units it comes with all of the correct connectors to give you a super easy install using all of your current connectors. If you also wanted a way to keep the...

view full answer... - Troubleshooting an ACMHD Heat Strip in a AC135SP A/C UnitFirst of all I can confirm that the Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners - 5,500 BTU item # ACMHD is the correct unit for the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White item # ACM135. It sounds like your A/C unit is pulling to much power or has a fault somewhere in the wiring. I recommend looking for any faults in your wiring and check for lose connections. You could also have a bad breaker that needs to be replaced.
view full answer... - Non-Ducted Replacement Air Conditioner Unit For Ducted Dometic Air Conditioner All physical features of the Dometic A/C units are the same whether they are considered ducted or non-ducted systems. The ceiling package is what changes based off of if you have air ducts or do not have air ducts in the RV so you could use your old unit in a RV without ducts if you want to and all of the features would work. If you need to switch the AC unit because it is no longer working, I recommend Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup w/ Start Capacitor part...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A 13.5K GE RV AC UnitWe recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 to replace the GE 13.5K RV AC unit. The advent unit has the same 13.5K BTU rating. You will also need a new distribution box and/or thermostat. You can use # ACDB for manual control or the # ACRG15 which comes with a wall mounted thermostat. Advent sells their start capacitor # ACMSCKIT separately, and we do recommend picking up one of those as well. You also have the option of adding a heat strip # ACMHD.

It plugs right into your existing Carrier Air set up for easy installation. You can add the 5,500 BTU Electric Heat Strip, # ACMHD if you want to continue having this as...
view full answer... - 15k BTU Advent Air RV AC Unit Replacement Recommendation for DometicI have just what you are looking for Peter with the Advent Air AC unit for Dometic units part # ACDOM150. This is a 15k btu AC unit that was designed to easily replace Dometic setups like you have so it covers everything. It also comes with a start capacitor so that it won't draw quite as much on startup and if you wanted to add a heat strip we have that too with the part # ACMHD.

The harsher the weather the harder the unit is going to have to work. The Heat Strip # ACMHD for the Advent Air # ACM135CH is 5,500 BTU's so you will most likely want to install two units based on the size of your trailer.
