Is the Air Distribution Box Part # ACRG15 Compatible with Advent Air Conditioners and Heat Strips

Question

Question:

I have a ADVENT AC150 ducted system with I believe a ACTH11 analog thermostat. I want to upgrade to the ACTH12 digital thermostat. Will the ACRG15 be the correct part to get my system setup for the ACTH12 or do I need other parts also? Also are the heat strips compatible with the AC150? Thanks, you guys rock

The Air Distribution Box w/ Wall-Mounted Thermostat for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners part # ACRG15 will work with your air conditioner like the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner part # ACM150. It is designed to plug into the factory connector then will allow you to use the included thermostat like what you're after.

It is also compatible with the Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners part # ACMHD you asked about.

Check out the video my buddy Shane did on it that I have linked for you.
