Specs:
Paired with your AC unit (sold separately), this electric heat strip takes the chill out of your RV on cool, frosty mornings. It is operated with the control dial on the air distribution box (sold separately). After you turn the dial to the heat setting, the compressor will shut off, and the fan will blow air over the heater and into your RV. When the optimal temperature has been reached, turn the dial to a fan or cooling setting. Please also note that the heat strip only has one temperature setting and cannot be controlled by the thermostat.
To install, mount the heat strip to the evaporator inside the AC unit with the included mounting screws. The heat strip has easy, plug-and-play installation with the supplied 30" power cord.

The first time I plugged it up it didn’t turn on. I jiggled the cable and it started heating. I then installed it and turned it on again it doesn’t seem to work so I jiggled the wires and it seems to be working but it’s not very hot at all. Luke warm air at best. I’m somewhat disappointed with the outcome. I read reviews before I purchased this. Some said it worked well, and others said it didn’t heat well. I’m going with the latter. Does not heat well enough.
A/C was delivered as promised, fit perfectly and operating better than the old Domestic that was replaced 3 years ago. Hopefully it will last as long as the 10 year old rear unit has lasted. I plan to replace it next summer with another one of these Avent units.
Unit went out in less than one year. Things happen. ASA electronics sent out a new unit quickly but refuses to pay for the install on their faulty unit.
Toasty heat strips
Was hoping this would produce at least a bit of heat. Installed and then tested it while temp outside was 30F. First it drew more than 15amps, had to start the generator in order to produce enough amps to keep it running. After 20 minutes no real heat, so kinda sad. However customer service here is great.
Wish it was better, but hay not always what you expect, but I tried.

Still working fine, not as much heat as I was hoping however it helps in not having to use propane as much.
Works well. easy to install. Only knocks the chill off. You will still need an alternate heat source if you are in cold weather.
Doesn’t work

I know that the heat strip gives off low level heat. Is it not working at all? When did it stop working for you?
Very fast delivery time. Excellent packaging to help prevent damage during shipment. Haven't installed parts yet but everything looks good.
I received the heater unit & promptly installed it. Being a competent mechanical type, I found the installation to be straightforward but a bit painful. On the left side (w/elect terminals) was a slot in the protective metal screening for the purpose of using a screwdriver to install the 2 short screws. Difficulty came when trying to weave the screwdriver through terminal ends and wires while trying to guide the screw into the bracket slots.
On the opposite end, there were no electrical terminals, but neither was there a slot in the screening. This required a small diameter Phillips screwdriver to get through the metal screening. In my case it took way longer than one would anticipate to install 4 small screws. It was all good in the end & I am pleased with the product, how it is integrated into the a/c unit and how it functions.
It may be worth mentioning in the video & written instruction, that the HEAT position on the air distribution box also provides power to the fan for heat circulation. I did not see or hear that mentioned anywhere and caused me to question it. By trial, I discovered it's functionality.

Can this be installed as a standalone unit?

Advent ac unit works extremely well. I have two that are installed in vintage camping trailers as replacements for the 1970s OEM units. They installed easily & function flawlessly. I would not hesitate to buy yet another if the occassion arises.
Always get knowledgeable people at etra iler
Unit arrived, albeit late. Fortunately it’s not a big deal because I don’t need this particular part of my order for a few more months (it’s still the peak of summer for me).
Works great... Keeps the house nice and warm. We used it all winter and it was perfect.
Seems to be a pretty well made part. Blows warm air. But as far as shipping they are very slow. Warehouse is slow about putting your part out in a timely manner. Ordered on Friday morning got put out to ship Monday evening.
Very easy to install, just plug and play. I wish it were a bit quieter but all on all an improvement over the ac unit it replaced.
fit perfect
Works great in an enclosed area like an RV riser area. Pretty easy to install with only a couple of tools.
Great service
Good product for keeping the chill off in the mornings.
I installed the heat strip in my Advent air conditioner and it worked great, instructions were very good and it worked well, nice and warm. We had just installed the ac unit in a pop up camper and it was great, does not drip water on roof. Very happy. Steve
I purchased this heat strip for the Advent AC135 rv rooftop air conditioner. The ACHD is the heat strip that is recommended for my unit but has been discontinued. The electrical specs for the ACHD and the ACMHD are the same, as is the width and height. I was able to match the curbside holes on the evaporator with the heat strip flange precisely. I mounted the heat strip and used the roadside heat-strip flange as a guide to drill two holes for a solid mount. Pretty simple after I clipped away a small portion of the cage that surrounds the heat strip. Plugged it in and, voila, heat. Works great. Sorry, no pics. And I don’t want to remove the shroud again if I don’t have to, as putting that back on was the hardest part of the job.
Added as a second unit to a 33' Crossroads. Works great. Easy straight forward install. Using the ACRG 15 air distribution box with thermostat. All the wires are labeled from the factory so installation was a snap. Added the ACMHD heat strip also but it's 85 degrees and a little hard to test that out just yet. The crew at etrailer were great at helping me get everything picked out that I needed. Shipping was fast. If there was such a thing as a 10 star rating, they deserve it
Doesn't work very well. Very disappoint ed
A very good air conditioner with a very poor design and quality With a few modifications of my own it works very good now
I installed two of these strips. Installation is incredibly simple. You can get this done in 30 minutes or less with just a screwdriver. The one I installed above the main cabin keeps the RV comfortable. My bedroom area is signicantly smaller and the unit that services it keeps it quite warm. I usually have to cycle the fan and heat option to keep the temperature where I like. The Advent heat strip is a good option. For reference, I am living full time in my RV.

José, eso suena frustrante. Lamento que estés lidiando con esto. El termostato no controlará la temperatura de la tira térmica. ¿Has probado a poner el termostato en modo aire acondicionado y subir la temperatura? La tira térmica funcionaría en modo aire acondicionado o modo ventilador. Déjame saber si ya lo has probado y contáctame.
