The RV air conditioners we offer do run off 120v power, and for a motorhome like yours the best option for a rooftop AC is a 13,500 Btu rating with an air distribution box as this will give you plenty of cooling power and easy controls. For that I recommend going with Advent, and you can choose from either White or Black in color:
- White: Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135C
- Black: Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135BC
These are 115v rated but work with a 120v outlet, and also come with a start capacitor that stores power to ensure your AC is always running. The thermostat is directly on the air distribution box that also has registers which you can adjust as needed in order to direct the cool air to where it is needed most.
This does require a roof thickness between 2-1/2" and 5", as well as an opening cut out of 14-1/4" long x 14-1/4" wide, which you'll want to keep in mind.
