Recommended Replacement RV Air Conditioner For An Older Atwood Unit
Question:
I have a duel system with RVP units and an Atwood CCS. One unit has failed. What options do I have if I decided to replace both units and replaced the Atwood unit with a more modern system?

When it comes to replacing your old Atwood system I recommend The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - Black # ACM135B.
This AC unit lets you replace an existing AC or add a new AC to your RV or camper, it will work with your existing Advent Air, Dometic, COleman Mach, or Carrier air distribution box and thermostat. Can be paired with a Coleman Mach or Carrier setup using a wiring adapter (# ACCOLKIT, # ACCARKIT - sold separately).
The AC has a black, hard plastic cover that protects internal components from water and debris. It has a bolt-on installation. This system will fit roofs between 2-1/2 inches to 5 inches thick. The opening size is 14-1/4 inches long by 14-1/4 inches wide. It has a capacity of 13,500 Btu per hour.
Additional accessories (sold separately) can be purchased to improve the performance and comfort:
-The Start Capacitor # ACMSCKIT which will jumpstart the AC when a campsite or generator doesn't provide enough power
-The Electric Heat Strip # ACMHD removes the chill on cold and frosty mornings.
