Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Advent Air Black Low Profile 13,500 BTU RV Air Conditioner System. Now this low profile air conditioner unit is gonna let you replace, upgrade, or add a new air conditioner to your RV or camper. And this system includes an air distribution box with a thermostat and a start capacitor. Now the low profile design of this air conditioner is designed to minimize wind resistance to improve your fuel efficiency, and it's also going to provide additional overhead clearance for you. This 13,500 BTU per hour air conditioner is going to quickly and efficiently cool down the inside of your RV or camper.
And this is going to be compatible with your ducted or ductless systems. And this is gonna be a bolt-on installation with the included hardware that you see there on that corner of my table. So this is gonna be great for your motor homes, your travel trailers, and your fifth wheels. However, I do want you to be aware of the fact that this has not been approved for use on school buses, food trucks, enclosed utility trailers, or off-roading vehicles, just so you're aware of that. This air conditioner is gonna fit roofs from two and a half inches to five inches thick with an opening size of 14 and a quarter inches long and 14 and a quarter inches wide.
And lemme go over some overall measurements of the unit itself just so you have a good idea of the size. Measuring front to back, we're sitting at about 31 inches long. The overall height, we're sitting at about 10 and one eighth inches tall. And then the overall width, we're sitting right at about 24 and 15/16th inches wide. And the unit weighs just a little under 70 pounds.
Now I'm gonna go ahead and remove the cover. I went ahead and removed the screws before our time together just to make it a little bit easier and quicker to remove this cover. I do want to give you a view of the inside and you see a little bit of it from that angle. But let me go ahead and give you an overhead view just so you have a better view. This air conditioner features a fan blade with a three-speed motor that's going to give you ample air flow at 500 cubic feet per minute.
And this also features a condensation dispersion system, which is going to increase the cooling efficiency by managing moisture to prevent water runoff. So hopefully you have a nice view of the inside of our unit. And then I'm gonna go ahead and replace our cover. And while I do that, I wanna let you know that this cover is constructed of a nice, thick piece of plastic. And so I think it's going to do a great job of protecting this unit. The insides of the unit from debris and water and things like that. It's one of the thicker RV air-conditioner covers that I have come across. I think it's going to be long lasting. I think it's gonna be very durable and I think it's gonna hold up really well. This is going to be very easy to remove and replace, as you've already seen. You're just going to have to remove the screws with a Phillips head screwdriver and then you'll just take the cover off, in case you need to do any maintenance or you want to clean the inside of it. And then once you have the cover back on, just replace the screws and tighten them down. And the cover has a nice, tight, secure fit on the unit itself. At the base here we have this frame that's constructed of rigid metal, so it's a very durable frame that the air conditioner has here at the base. And speaking of the base, we also have thick foam support pads that you're not gonna be able to see, but they are under there. And those foam pads are going to support this air conditioner on top of your RV roof. And so it's also, those pads are also going to help reduce noise after you have this installed. And then I would like to take a closer look at this side of my table here just to go over the components that's included with this kit. So we have our air distribution box and we have adjustable registers here at the top and the bottom so you can direct the air in whichever way is gonna be best for you. And then we have our built-in thermostat here so we can control the level of coldness that we want and that our fan speeds can be adjusted here with this dial. And then we have our air filter here, which pull back this panel, it can be removed and cleaned to make sure that your fan blade is always clean, there's no dust or dirt buildup on that. And the internal components are constructed of aluminum, so you won't have to worry about rust and corrosion. I do have this box sitting up on some blocks here, but I'm gonna see if I can just show you some other angles of this. So you have a register there. And then we have a register there. I lost one of my knobs there, it looks like. But this is basically what it's going to look like when it's installed. And this is going to drop down about three and a half inches or so. The box itself is about three and a half inches thick. And then let me go ahead and turn this to the side that's actually gonna install in your ceiling just so you get a good view of that. And then if you're wondering about the size of this box, the length, or in our case the height, the way that I have this set from top to bottom, or front to back, we're sitting at about 22 and a half inches long or so. And then looking at the width, we're sitting right at about 21 and a half inches wide. Let's see if I can replace the knob here that I didn't have on too tight. There we go. And then not only do we have our air distribution box with the hardware, but we also have the start capacitor. I'm gonna bring this up here just a little bit closer for you. So as you probably know, the start capacitor is going to jumpstart your air conditioner when the campsite that you're at, or the generator that you might be using just does not give you enough power to start up your air conditioner. This capacitor is also going to store energy that will later be used for the next startup. And then you can also get an electric heat strip and add that to your air conditioner to help remove the chill on a cold or frosty morning. An electric heat strip is not included with this kit, but that is something that we do carry that you can add to your order. Both the capacitor and the heat strip will be installed in the air conditioner unit itself. This is UL and CUL-certified. We do also provide this system, this kit, with a white cover, and also in a higher BTU option as well. So if you're interested in any of those other options, feel free to check that out here at etrailer.com. Well, I think 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 lets you replace an existing AC or add a new AC to your RV. Air distribution box has a built-in thermostat to control the fan and temperature. Start capacitor jumpstarts the AC when camp power or generator power isn't enough.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.
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.
Good air conditioner, but fan won't shut off after set temperature is met
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!??????
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.
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!
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
Great service! Great prices! I had a question and technician answered quickly and explained everything.
Boxes arrived intact. Was kept informed about when it would ship, that it had shipped and had arrived and where they had dropped it off.
Was truly great experience! Will recommend to my other RVing friends!
Installation, went smooth without any problems
The unit is cooling very well
Everything was exactly what what I needed to get chilling again
Installed unit today ad is blowing ice cold. Direct replacement for my old unit. Shipped extremely fast
Bought this to replace an older (2007) Coleman 8000 on our pop-up. Had a bit of a time installing this. Please, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and LOOK AT THE PICTURES. I had the upper duct that mounts to the roof unit installed 180 degrees off.
The converter kit that you buy with this if you're replacing a Coleman, didn't fit my Coleman panel. It's made for newer units. After talking to etrailer and the manufacturer I found I had to purchase a new control panel for inside. Another $85.
Overall it wasn't a bad job once I figured out the upper duct and the control panel issues. Unit cools well. About the same noise level as the old Coleman. It is not as thick top to bottom as the Coleman was. Think it's a little lighter after picking up both! Real test of how it works will be the trip we're taking next month.
excellent.plug and play install. so eas y!
The delivery was extremely timely and everything that was promised was kept! I know I will be calling again, as RV's always want some attention.
Thank you!!
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.
