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 for your Coleman setup. Now this low profile air conditioning unit is going to let you replace your Coleman-Mach rooftop air conditioning unit on your RV or camper. And the low-profile design is going to minimize wind resistance to help improve fuel efficiency and give you additional overhead clearance. Now this 13,500 BTU per hour air conditioner will quickly and efficiently cool the inside of your RV or camper. This is compatible with ducted or ductless systems.
And this is a bolt-on installation. However, I do wanna make you aware that the hardware needed to install this is not included, so that's something you would have to source locally to best fit your particular application. Now this is going to work with your motor homes and your travel trailers and your fifth wheels, but this is not approved for school buses, food trucks, enclosed/utility trailers, or off-roading vehicles, just so you're aware of that. This is going to fit roofs from 2-1/2 inches to 5-1/2 inches. Well, let me rephrase that.
2-1/2 inches to 5 inches thick with an opening size of 14-1/4 inches long and 14-1/4 inches wide. As we're talking about measurements here, let me give you the overall measurements of the unit itself. Measuring front to back, we're sitting right at about 31 inches long. And then turning this over here, looking at the width here, we're sitting right at about 24-15/16 inches wide. And then the overall height at the tallest point here, we're sitting at about 10-1/8 inches tall.
And this is a little under 70 pounds. Now let me go ahead and give you an overhead view. I am going to remove the cover. Now, I did remove the screws of this cover earlier just to allow me to easily and quickly remove it so I can give you a view of the inside here. This air conditioner features a fan blade with a three-speed motor that's going to give you ample airflow at 500 cubic feet per minute.
This system does feature a condensation dispersion system that's going to increase cooling efficiency by managing moisture to prevent water runoff. And let me go ahead and just replace the cover here. And this cover is, in my estimation, it feels pretty durable. It's a thick piece of plastic that compared to some other air conditioning units that I have dealt with in the past, this cover seems to be a pretty decent piece of plastic. It doesn't feel flimsy. It doesn't feel like it's going to easily crack. It feels like it's going to be pretty durable. And as you can see, once you have the screws removed, the cover is going to come off and replace pretty easily. The cover has a nice fit over the unit itself, so it's going to be very easy to remove this and to replace it when you're wanting to do a little bit of maintenance, when you're wanting to clean it. And like I said, this is really a good piece of plastic here that they used to construct this cover. Now looking a little bit closer here, I'm gonna try to give you a little bit closer view of the unit here. This does, the air conditioner itself does feature a rigid metal frame, and it does have thick foam support pads at the bottom. Maybe you can see a little bit of those pads there. Those thick foam support pads are going to give you support between your RV roof and air conditioner. A gasket seals the opening to prevent water seepage and air leaks. And those foam pads are also going to do a great job of helping to reduce noise. Now this kit does come with some additional items here. As I mentioned at the beginning of our time together, you're going to get this adapter wiring kit that's going to enable this air conditioner to work with your existing Coleman setup. So this is included along with the screws needed, the hardware rather, needed to install it, and a template to help you install this as well. And then also this start capacitor is also included with this. And as you know, this start capacitor is going to jumpstart this air conditioner when a campsite or generator just doesn't give you enough power to get your air conditioner going. This stores energy that's gonna later be used for the next startup. So this capacitor is included with this kit, along with instructions and some hardware to get this installed in your AC unit. This is UL and cUL certified. And if black isn't the color that you're necessarily looking for and you're looking for another color that would go better with your setup, the good news is we also carry this system in white. So on your screen, I am including our item number for the white version of this kit. You can just take that item number and put it in the search field of our website and that will take you to the white version, and everything else, all the specs and all the details that we covered during our time together will be the same, just be a white cover instead of a black cover. 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 replaces the Coleman Mach air conditioner on your RV or camper. Included adapter wiring kit works with your existing Coleman setup. 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.
Thank you etrailer keep up the good work!
