Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at the Furrion Chill HE Replacement AC Unit. Now this is gonna be available in quite a few different configurations to perfectly match what you need. And the first thing, ours is white, you can also get it in black, so whichever way you wanna match to your RV, you can go ahead and do that. You can also pick up the AC unit with an air distribution box. There's actually two different styles you can pick from.
You can also get a thermostat, and also you can pick it up with a cable to plug in directly to the main unit from your previous AC unit. This is gonna be a great replacement for an AC unit that you already have and it's gonna work with a few different types of distribution boxes, include Advent, Coleman, as well as Dometic. Now we did find that we had to use a separate distribution box specifically for this HE unit, but it does drop in nice and easy. The HE in the name stands for high efficiency, so this is gonna cool nice and efficiently. It can be used with a ducted or a ductless system.
The high efficiency is accomplished by having dual motors and that's gonna get our 13,500 BTU capacity, chilling this down nice and quick. Now sometimes when you're at a campsite or using a generator, it doesn't have enough power to get that AC started. Well this has a startup capacitor already in there that's gonna store that power allowing you to get that AC rolling. It also has rubber isolators, which when it comes to any moving parts, trying to get that to not vibrate or create noise can be a problem. But the fact that these are built in, it's gonna make it a nice quiet unit that's really gonna get that efficiency going.
Now, living on top of the RV it's gonna see a lot of sunlight and this is gonna be UV resistant. Our cover's also gonna protect it from any water or debris getting in there. It's also got a nice foam that sits on the bottom, and as you crank that down, it's gonna be a chemical/water-resistant foam. It's gonna create a nice seal, making sure that your AC unit isn't gonna be leaking water in even when those heavy rains come down. It also has built-in thermal insulation, and that's just gonna make it run more efficient but also keep that motor from running too much and burning itself up.
So that's just gonna help maintain that temperature and not overwork the unit. And for those of you that really like stats and numbers, let's break this down a little bit. So this has a power draw of 11.2 amps. As I mentioned before, it's 13,500 BTU per hour, which is pretty solid. Now as far as sound goes, this one is pretty quiet. It's coming in at 80 decibels, so it's not too, you can definitely have a normal conversation, no problem. And overall, it's pretty quiet. Now as far as your electrical rating, you are gonna want 115 volts at 60 hertz. Now the one we have here is prepped for a Coleman setup. So if you have a Coleman unit, it makes it nice and plug and play. But that's not to say that's not available for what you may have in your RV. So check to make sure that you're picking the one that plugs and plays right with your camper. And that was a look at the Furrion Chill HE Replacement AC Unit.

Desiring to improve the ability to cool the rig by adding a second AC installed using the bedroom vent opening configured as a stand-alone zone we choose the Furrion Chill HE kit. A secondary goal is to have an AC unit that can be utilized during BLM camping with our small inverter-generator to cool the bedroom. The FR85PV kit enables both goals and it is easy to install. I bench-tested the unit prior to mounting the AC unit on the rig. The Chill provides output air at 48.6 degrees F while drawing 9.1 amps in the run state. Inrush current was 44.5 amps. I had concern for the thermostat placement to prevent AC output air fooling the thermostat in a small room. I learned that the thermostat is a control point and not a temperature sensing point. The temperature displayed on the thermostat is acquired by a sensor in the return air duct opening.
I suggest two points of emphasis while installing the kit. First, take your time installing the two-piece divider that separates the cold air out chamber from the return air chamber. Ensure you have a good seal between the two chambers. Second emphasis involves the room temperature sensor in the air return chamber. The sensor is a short lead wire – I bent my lead in an L shape and pointed the sensor upwards into the room air return duct and away from the unit’s wire bundle to achieve the best sensing location.
I had Cornerstone Rv Repair located in Porter TX come out and install this for me. They were impressed with it and complimented it's ease of installation. Will need to see how it holds up against summer sun and heat here in southeast Texas. Looks very good on top of my trailer.
It was so good to get all the parts to install this air conditioner, in one order. We had ordered from Camping World and had to order each part separately, this ended up with the parts arriving at different times and we had to wait on the thermostat for a couples of weeks. It was so easy withe etrailer and when they told us that it was on back order and the order would be in in a week and it was, and now it is setting on my from porch. My sister and her husband is needing an air conditioner for their camper and I am going to recommend she contact etrailer.
makes to much noise have to turn it off at night so we can sleep
Ordered the AC from her based on the shipping date and that their website said it would be delivered by Tuesday 5/16 when I placed the order. The item shipped and the same day for h to e most part but then the date randomly changed from Tuesday to Friday. Very different dates. There was no delay on the UPS side, the e-trailer website and staff just use wrong dates to get the sale. Had to have someone go to the house twice to pickup the item and move inside since they also shipped some parts via USPS.
UPS Shipped the Air Conditioner upside down all the oil went the head of compressor.on the should have this side up.
Easy installation and excellent cooling.
I ordered my new furrion ac and it was delivered before time I haven’t installed it yet. I have ordered from ETRAILER before and they always deliver on time. Quality merchandise.thank you.
Easy to install except getting up on the trailer. Your install video has very helpful. Install manual talks of switches to set, but my controller had no switches
I was really surprised but installation was easy. Start to finish took three and a half hours including the removal of the old unit. This replaced a Dometic Penguin ii.
Awesome addition to the 5th wheel easy to install and works great
Awesome package love the led lights helps keep our camper really cold now
