Expert Answers about Coleman RV Air Conditioners


  • How Loud is Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner
  • Hi Tammy, I checked with the manufacturer and the noise level directly at the AC is 67 dB, and 45 dB if you're inside your trailer for their low-profile units: - Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System # ASA58YR - Black: Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System # ASA88YR For reference, 60 dB is about the level of conversation, and 30 dB is a whisper. There truly is not an RV air conditioner that is going to give you whisper-level noise, and when you are indoors, this...

  • What Is The Smallest AC Unit For Adding AC System To A Cargo Trailer/Camper
  • Hello Tyson. The smallest AC unit we offer is the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner and this will be a great option for you. Since this is a smaller trailer you can definitely get away with a 13,500 BTU unit. These AC units require the roof to be between 2-1/2" and 5" thick, so please do keep that in mind during your build. For a complete AC system I recommend the following: - Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White # ADV79FR - Air Distribution Box w/ Built-In...

  • Is The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR Compatible With The # ACDB
  • Hey Jon, Yes, the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR is compatible with the Air Distribution Box # ACDB. This would have the controls on the air distribution box instead of a wall mounted thermostat. We don't currently have any systems with a wireless remote. You'll want to doublecheck the BTU rating of your current unit and make sure you have a 13,500BTU rating. If you have a 15,000BTU rating or you just want to upgrade you can go with the # ADV29FR instead.

  • Recommended AC With Heat Strip for Enclosed Trailer
  • The 15,000 Btu Furrion air conditioner is what I would recommend and what I have on my trailer. Since it is an enclosed trailer I'm guessing you want the manual distribution box. You can choose from the following based on color: -Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - White # FR92PR -Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Black # FR32PR Each of these would use the Furrion Heat Strip Add-On for Furrion Air Conditioner # FR35SR.

  • Will Advent Air AC be Direct Replacement For Dometic Brisk AC
  • Hey there Ross; thanks for that info and your 15,000 Btu Dometic Brisk Air II AC can absolutely be replaced by an Advent unit. I do recommend going with the low-profile option as not only does it look better, but the less height you can add on top of your camper the better. You can get either White or Black in color: - White: Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup # ASA86YR - Black: Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup # ASA68YR These will...

  • What is the Amp Draw Of The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup # ASA68YR
  • The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup # ASA68YR has a compressor rated load of 12.4 amps while the fan motor is rated for a load of 2.6 amps or 15 amps total. Do understand the AC does have a start capacitor that will help boost amperage to start the motors and may cause a slightly higher draw than 15 amps which is why Advent recommends a 20 amp circuit to be used.

  • Heat Strip For Advent Air Conditioners
  • As I see you were looking at the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR this will use the Heat Strip # ACMHD. We do have the Advent Package # ACM135CH which will contain the AC, heat strip, air distribution box and compressor. If you are looking for a heat strip for a different AC please let me know what make and model you have so I can verify the correct heat strip for you.

  • How Many Watts Does the 15,000 BTU Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner Draw?
  • Yes, it can! The 15,000 BTU Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup item # ASA68YR uses right around 3,000 watts for start up and 1,500 - 1,700 watts to run. Advent recommends a 20 amp circuit be used because of the extra draw during start up, even with the capacitor. So you have enough power to run your other electronics and appliances, I recommend the Champion 4,500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator - Gas or Propane - Electric Start item # CH44FR.

  • Replacement For Dometic Duo-Therm Quick Cool RV Air Conditioner
  • Hello Cherry. To replace your Dometic Duo-Therm Quick Cool AC Unit I recommend the Advent Air # ACM150. This is made to be directly compatible with your existing Dometic AC system. You'll just need to remove the cover to your air distribution box so that you can get to the mounting bolts and wiring. Aside from you can basically just swap out the rooftop portion and leave the rest of the AC system as-is. I do suggest that you pick up a Start Capacitor # ACMSCKIT. You also have the option...

  • Can I Replace My GE AC Unit With A Furrion AC
  • Hello Rich. It is possible to replace your GE air conditioner with a Furrion AC unit. In order to do this, you will need get a whole new AC unit system since there aren't any adapter kits that allow you to simply plug and play the installation. So, you will be getting a new AC unit, controller, distribution box and thermostat. I recommend the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR95PV, which will come with everything you need. This should be a nice upgrade from your GE unit. The...

  • Solution for Cooling a RV in the Desert
  • You can't recharge RV ac units and anyone who tells you you can or does isn't supposed to so lets move past that option. Another major issue is your Honda EU2200i generator is definitely going to be too small to power an AC unit that will do a better job of keeping up with the desert heat on legit hot days. You most likely need two AC units for 100 degree desert temps which would require a whole lot more power, like a solar panel set up item # 342-75011. Even then your 5th wheel has R3...

  • Best Replacement For A Dometic 59196.531 AC Unit With Heat Pump

This is made to be directly compatible with your current Dometic AC system, so very little additional wiring will be required. Advent also offers a Heat Strip # ACMHD that can be added to their AC units. This will definitely be your best bet for replacing both the front and rear AC units.

  • Is It Possible To Replace/Upgrade The Thermostat In A 2015 Cruise Lite 26'
  • Hello Wayne. It may be possible to replace the thermostat in your 2015 Cruise Lite. Replacement thermostats are generally brand specific to the AC unit, so I will need to know what brand/model of AC you currently have in your camper. For example, the Replacement Single Zone Thermostat # DMC79FR will work with the Dometic brand RV Air Conditioners. If this is not exactly what you have, feel free to drop that info in the comments below and I am happy to make a recommendation.

  • Recommended Air Conditioner System For a Enclosed Trailer Conversion to a Travel Trailer
  • While the 13.5K air conditioner might seem like overkill do remember your enclosed trailer is going to have virtually 0 insulation. So it is going to take a lot more cooling power to keep it cool on the hot days. The Advent Kit # ACM135CH would be the one I recommend as it comes with a start capacitor to help with the power draw and a heat strip to help on those chilly nights.

  • Replacing Dometic AC Unit - Does It Make Sense To Replace Both The Inside And Outside Unit?
  • Hello Frank, we do offer AC units that will replace your current Dometic unit. In most cases it makes sense to replace only the rooftop portion and leave everything inside the camper as-is. That said, I am not sure how old your current unit is, but a new upgraded distribution box might be a good idea. They are not terribly expensive, and it will be easy to add on since you will be disconnecting and removing the rooftop portion anyways. Your best option will be an Advent AC unit. Since...

  • Can Wireless App be Added to 2nd Motorhome Kit For Roadmaster BrakeMaster to Fill Air Bags
  • Hey Brian, So I'm sorry to say there isn't a way to add an app or way to wirelessly use the Second Motorhome Kit for Roadmaster BrakeMaster Systems for Hydraulic Brakes # RM-98300. I can see where you're coming from though, as wireless is wayyyy easier than manually monitoring and checking the air bags. It's such a pain I personally wouldn't want to go with anything but wireless, so if you were looking for something like that the easiest to use is the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System...

  • Could Advent Air AC Unit Lo Profile be Used On Cargo Trailer
  • The Advent Air Low Profile RV AC # ASA36YR can be used on a cargo trailer but the problem with cargo trailers is the roof isn't reinforced for AC units so as long as you are okay with doing that this would work great for you.

  • Replacement Microwave for a 15" Deep Cutout
  • Hey Nils, thanks for reaching out! The High Pointe Built-In Convection Microwave with Air Fryer # HP36ZR you were looking at will be too deep to fit your cutout - even with the 18" depth possibility. Instead, I recommend checking out the Furrion Over the Range RV Convection Microwave # FMCM15SS which has much better depth requirements (15" overall) and can be installed directly above your stove. Attached is a review video for you to check out!

  • Question About a Product
  • Hi Christopher, There unfortunately isn't a guide to tell us the exact part numbers for the vents, skylights, etc. on your Passport. We offer a variety of plumbing vents and 12v fan vents but we unfortunately do not offer skylights. If you want to send some pictures and measurements on the plumbing vents in then we can figure out the best replacements, for the 12v fan vent I'd want your opinion on the features you'd prefer for the roof vent. The MaxxFan Mini Plus Manual RV Roof Vent...

  • Replacement Roof Vent Lid to Fit Multiple Tab Hinge for Older Horse Trailer
  • Thanks for the photos, Charlotte! The replacement lid you're looking for is the Camco Replacement Lid for Jensen RV Roof Vent w/ Pin-Style Hinge # CAM40147. This is designed for standard 14" x 14" vent covers which you actually have. The 14" measurement is taken from the opening up above which is why your measurements are slightly different. If you wanted to upgrade to a newer vent that is completely possible and you won't have to modify the hole in your roof. For a standard replacement...
