Note: The adapter wiring kit will not work on Coleman Mach 6000 or 7000 series ceiling vent assemblies, and it will not work with heat pump models.
This AC unit from Advent Air is designed to replace the old or broken Coleman Mach air conditioner on your RV or camper. The included adapter wiring kit ensures that the AC works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Coleman air distribution box and thermostat. The AC has a powerful fan and motor that provides a steady stream of air to efficiently cool the inside of your RV on a hot or muggy day. The included start capacitor will help jumpstart the AC. This beneficial upgrade provides the AC a boost when shore power or generator power isn't enough to start it. And everything you need in order to replace your AC unit is included, which makes installation simple and easy.
If your campsite or generator isn't able to draw the power you need, then you may have difficulty starting your AC unit. The included start capacitor, however, can eliminate this problem. The capacitor stores energy that will later be used to jumpstart the AC. Once the sufficient amount of power has been supplied to the AC, the compressor will start to run, and the internal relay switch will turn the start capacitor off. At the same time, the compressor will send "back voltage" to the relay switch and capacitor in order to energize them for the next startup.
Because your RV is likely already prepped and pre-wired for an AC unit, installation is simple and easy. Most AC units, including this one, are designed to fit an opening that measures 14-1/4" x 14-1/4". Depending on your roof setup, you may need to do minimal alterations. If the opening is larger than 14-3/8" x 14-3/8", you will need to install spacers between the sides of the unit and the opening's edges. If the opening is smaller than 14-1/8" x 14-1/8", you will need to enlarge the hole to fit the unit snugly inside the opening.
On the bottom of the AC, there's a thick, collapsible gasket with 6 noise-reducing foam pads. This provides support between the RV roof and AC and seals the opening to prevent water and outside air from leaking in. Because of this, the use of fresh sealant isn't required during installation.
To install the start capacitor, bolt it to the fan motor support with the included hardware and then route the wires to the run capacitor.
Once installed, the hard plastic cover on the AC can easily be removed for maintenance and cleaning.
2-Year limited warranty covers defective units when installed correctly on approved applications. The warranty does not cover units installed incorrectly. To ensure air conditioner is installed correctly, please see the questionnaire pdf below. A filled-out questionnaire is required for warranty coverage.
If you are not comfortable using a voltmeter (or removing the charge from the start capacitor), youll want to make a service appointment with your local RV dealer to verify the installation. Print the pdfs below (warranty- questionnaire, warranty dealer information) and take them along with the RV to your local dealer. ASA does compensate dealers for warranty work as outlined in the dealer information pdf. You may be charged by the dealer for time spent investigating the installation.

This AC unit replaces the Coleman Mach air conditioner on your RV or camper. Included adapter wiring kit enables the AC to work with your existing Coleman setup. Start capacitor jumpstarts the AC when camp power or generator power isn't enough.We have purchased several replacement switches for our camper plus a year ago we purchased a new roof air conditioner. This company is very friendly and knowledgeable on what we need. Easy to order parts and speedy delivery. I recommend this company to help you find what you need.
This ac unit every bit as good as the original coleman. It was an easy install for 2 people. Only issue was I wanted the heat pump function but the add-on strip couldn't be installed in this particular unit. I returned it (heat pump add-on kit) with no issues.
Got before time said
The A/C I ordered, came as expected with all components. I was originally going to install the unit myself but was concerned I would mess something up, so I took it to our local RV repair shop and they had it completed in about 3 hours.
Change out wasn't too complicated. When we got done wife turned on the power & bingo cold air! Price was excellent compared to the new Coleman Mach.
Our friends just paid 1400 to have a new ac installed at the dealer(advent unit). This made me even more pleased.
Great customer service. The unit I ordered wasn’t in stock at the time and I got emailed saying that they had a different unit in stock and see if I wanted it instead I kindly declined and they told me when it was going to be in stock, and when it would arrive, they said it would arrive on 28 august and it did I will use again
works as it should - very pleased with purchase
Great customer service, quality parts all at a great price. After seeing an unexpected delay on my order, I reached out to get an estimate on arrival due to a time crunch. I was informed exactly where the package was and when it would be “stocked” and sent out for delivery. Days later, I received a personal call with an update on it being received as “in stock” and out for delivery!
Great stuff work well easy to install .
Bon produit facile a installer et fonctionne a merveille .
Installed easily after getting it on the roof.
Pleasureway motorhome. Lots of support from e-trailer and the install went well. This unit is loud. It cools the motorhome easily but could use a lower/quieter fan speed.
When ordering this Advent with Carrier harness, I asked the sales rep 3 times to ensure it would replace a Carrier Unit that had a heat pump. Explained to her that the owner did not want a heat pump in the new unit, just A/C. Sales rep repeated that this was a direct replacement, just use the included harness and it would work with the Carrier Air Box and control board. Unit arrived and I removed Carrier and installed Advent unit. Wired in adapter harness. Unit would only run on Lo speed fan, no compressor, no Hi Fan. Spent 30 minutes troubleshooting Unit before calling ETRAILER for help. Different sales rep put me on hold and came back to say that there is a Tech Bulletin saying that it is not compatible with Carrier units that had a heat pump. Her only option given was to send me a shipping label to return the Advent unit. Told me that the rep I spoke with previously must have missed it. I suggested ordering a new air handler box and Thermostat to get the Advent working so my customer wouldn't have to pay me to do nothing but swap her old non-working Carrier back on the roof to block the 14" hole in the roof. Now waiting until mid June for a air handler as ETRAILER did not have any in stock. Morale of the story, don't use this on a Carrier that had a heat pump!
While we appreciate etrailer and the ease of ordering process we give the Advent product we ordered 2-stars because not only were ALL 4 of the bolts to this unit not entirely straight upon arrival but one of the bolts did not match the threading in the AC and not only started to strip the bolt but then snapped it in half mid-AC install for our client. What should have been a 1-2 hour job turned into a 4 hour job because we were in a remote area and had to travel into the nearest city to source a new bolt and a tap to fix the threads inside the unit to secure it properly. We were happy that etrailer had what we needed, but Advent needs to have better quality bolts in their kit.
I couldn't be more disappointed in this unit. I initially bought as an alternative to a 15k ducted Dometic unit that went bad and quit cooling in my 2018 Heartland Bighorn. The description at the time said it was a direct replacement and was 1/3 the price so I bought it. Like a lot of others, it showed up with a damaged cover. etrailer says they'll ship a new one when they get back in stock so that's no big deal. The issues began when I started the install. I got my old unit off the roof and the new one up. The footprint is considerably smaller so all the old mounting holes fell outside the gaskets area so I had holes to patch in my roof. The cutout size was exact, but there was no center divider to separate the return air from the supply air so I had to make one of those too. I went to hook up the wiring and, lo and behold, the control box wasn't included and wasn't compatible with my Dometic unit and there isn't an adapter available. Back to etrailer to order the control box I needed. Finally figured out how to rewire my camper to match the new box (again, no adapters or instructions are available) and found out my Dometic thermostat isn't compatible with the new control box. Finally sourced one from Amazon since etrailer doesn't sell it and got that installed a few days ago. Turned everything back on and it started to run. Checked all 3 fan speeds and everything seemed to be working good. It was 87 in the camper after sitting in the Spring sun of South Carolina all day. Let it run on high for an hour and a half and went back out to check on things. It had only dropped to 84 degrees! It's not even remotely hot outside yet. The air was coming out cool, just very little volume. If this is how it's going to be this thing is getting ripped back off and I'll bite the bullet and buy a Dometic again.
Long story summed up - compatible doesn't mean anything and upgrade is a complete lie. This is the first time I've truly been let down by etrailer.
Advent 15000 BTU AC. Best price I could find on the internet or anywhere else for that matter. I received the unit 4 days earlier than expected which was a good thing. The installation, including getting it on the roof, was about 30 minutes. The Advent was a direct replacement for a 4/5-year-old Dometic Brisk II that quit cooling. The Advent is slightly quitter that the Dometic but of course that is only my subjective opinion. On low speed you can continue an intelligible conversation. The Advent has been installed 3 days now and it is working great.
I have purchased from etrailer in the past and have been completely satisfied. There are three concern/issues that need to be mention/address. (1) Packaging could have been better. The box it came in looked like it had been rolling around in the back of a UPS truck. (2) There was no installation instruction or owner’s manual whatsoever that came with the unit. I pulled mine off the internet. (3) the unit had minor damage on the base or main frame of the unit (I hope it does not cause issue later). The damage was not so bad as to cause forgoing the installation. Since the shipping box did not show any noticeable damage at the location of the damage on the unit, I can only assume that it was shipped by etrailer that way which is a QC issue.
The main problem with these units is the shipping container. This was the third unit that arrived damaged. UPS must have flipped the box over on its top and crushed the compressor terminal housing. The impact was hard enough for one of the terminal screws to punch a hole through the top cover of air conditioner. I waited weeks for this unit to be in stock again and now they want me to wait weeks more to get a replacement. as for the quality of the unit itself: unknown since I can't get a fully functional unit to install. Probably going with a Furion or Dometic at this point.
