What Is The Voltage And Amp Draw For The Advent Air 13,500 BTU RV AC Unit.

Question:

Are your 13,000 Btu AC units 12v or 24volts? And, how many amps do they draw? Thanks

None of the AC units for an RV are 12V or 24V. They all are 120V.

I'll use the Advent Air for example:

Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White # ACM135.

Rated: 120V.
Air conditioner power draw (while running): 15 amps.
Compressor power draw (while running): 9.9 amps.
Fan motor power draw (while running): 2.6 amps.

If you are in need of an inverter to turn your DC power into AC power to run an Air Conditioner I recommend going with the Go Power heavy duty sine wave.

Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter - 5,000 Watts - 12V # 34280179.

5,000-Watt inverter lets you use appliances and devices wherever the road takes you. Modified sine wave technology is perfect for appliances with resistive loads like heaters and toasters. Changes your RV battery's DC output into AC power.
