Air Distribution Box and Thermostat

Advent Air Air Distribution Box

The AC unit includes an air distribution box with a built-in thermostat. The dial on the left controls the 3 cool settings and the 3 fan speed settings, which let you increase or decrease the airflow. If you add an electric heat strip (sold separately) to remove the chill on cold mornings, then the dial also controls the heat setting. The dial on the right allows you to set the temperature. Additionally, there are adjustable registers on the front and back of the box. These can be tilted up, down, or side-to-side for directing the air where needed. The removable air filter prevents dust and dirt from building up on the fan blades.


Start Capacitor

Advent Air Start Capacitor

If your campsite or generator isn't able to draw the power you need, then you may have difficulty starting your AC unit. The included start capacitor, however, can eliminate this problem. The capacitor stores energy that will later be used to jumpstart the AC. Once the sufficient amount of power has been supplied to the AC, the compressor will start to run, and the internal relay switch will turn the start capacitor off. At the same time, the compressor will send "back voltage" to the relay switch and capacitor in order to energize them for the next startup.


Simple Installation

Advent Air AC Installation 13,500 BTU

Because your RV is likely already prepped and pre-wired for an AC unit, installation is simple and easy. Most AC units, including this one, are designed to fit an opening that measures 14-1/4" x 14-1/4". Depending on your roof setup, you may need to do minimal alterations. If the opening is larger than 14-3/8" x 14-3/8", you will need to install spacers between the sides of the unit and the opening's edges. If the opening is smaller than 14-1/8" x 14-1/8", you will need to enlarge the hole to fit the unit snugly inside the opening.


Advent Air AC Collapsible Gasket and Foam Pads

On the bottom of the AC, there's a thick, collapsible gasket with 6 noise-reducing foam pads. This provides support between the RV roof and AC and seals the opening to prevent water and outside air from leaking in. Because of this, the use of fresh sealant isn't required during installation.


To install the start capacitor, bolt it to the fan motor support with the included hardware and then route the wires to the run capacitor.


Once installed, the hard plastic cover on the AC can easily be removed for maintenance and cleaning.


Advent Air Warranty Coverage

2-Year limited warranty covers defective units when installed correctly on approved applications. The warranty does not cover units installed incorrectly. To ensure air conditioner is installed correctly, please see the questionnaire pdf below. A filled-out questionnaire is required for warranty coverage.


If you are not comfortable using a voltmeter (or removing the charge from the start capacitor), you'll want to make a service appointment with your local RV dealer to verify the installation. Print the pdfs below (warranty- questionnaire, warranty dealer information) and take them along with the RV to your local dealer. ASA does compensate dealers for warranty work as outlined in the dealer information pdf. You may be charged by the dealer for time spent investigating the installation.

  • Needing To Replace My Dometic Model B57915.711C0
    Hey Brian, We have found that RV AC units do not mix and match well with other brands, and we currently do not have a Dometic replacement for your unit. What I recommend is going with a new AC system from Advent, # ADV23SR. This is a similar 13,500 btu system with a start capacitor and distribution box. I recommend going with a new system since we cannot guarantee if certain parts will work with different manufacturer parts. Advent is a great quality unit for your trailer. Does your...

  • will Advent Air Conditioner ADV23SR Replace Old Duo Therm In 1978 5th Wheel?
    Hey there Daniel, yes the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV23SR would work just fine for your uncle's 1978 5th wheel with an older duo-therm 54615-245 ac unit. This kit comes with everything to replace the old system, so you won't have to worry about compatibility or anything. It has a built-in start capacitor to allow a lower amperage pull when starting, and there's an optional Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners - 5,500 BTU...

  • Air Conditioner and Heater for Cargo Trailer
    Hey Harry! For an AC system on your 6 x 12 cargo trailer I recommend one of the following: -Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV23SR -Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV45SR The only real difference here is the one unit is low profile. This has a lower capacity and is set up for a ductless system which is what your trailer will be. Keep in mind, these aren't approved for a cargo trailer and...

  • Solution for Replacement for Discontinued Carrier AC Unit 68RV14102A
    Hey Martin! Carrier is no longer making RV AC units. Although there were some plug and play replacements available in the past, everything has switched to the new R32 refrigerant following 2025 EPA guidelines. This means a complete system replacement will be necessary. If you want an Advent Air AC you can choose from the following: -Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 15,000 Btu - White - R32 # ADV32SR or # ADV42SR (Black) -Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500...

  • Replacement AC for 2015 Forest River Vengeance Toy Hauler
    Hey Dan! Can you at least tell me who the manufacturer is? You can try to swap it out with # ACM135B which fits a 6-pin but I can't guarantee it will work. Due to compatibility issues we only recommend replacing the AC unit itself with the same model. If you can't figure out the manufacturer and what model the AC is the best thing is a complete replacement. Right now is a good time to switch since all of the old models are being replaced with the new R32 units. This means old parts are...

  • Replacement AC for Coleman Mach 8000 on 2004 Winnebago Sightseer 35N
    Hi David; the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup # FR82PV you looked at is what we would have previously recommended. However, we have run into compatibility issues so I can't say with absolute certainty it will work as a plug and play replacement. Since everything has switched to the new R32 refrigerant following the 2025 EPA regulations now is a good time to swap out the entire system. This avoids the need for a complete replacement down the road if a...

  • Can Dometic Evolution AC Unit Replace an Advent Air AC Unit
    Hey Jenipher, so at one time we all thought that there was an adapter solution that would allow an Advent AC unit to replace a Dometic and use the Dometic lower vent assembly but what we have found out is that it doesn't consistently work and it's not worth trying. So what you'll need to do instead is replace what you have with the same Dometic unit or go with an entirely different setup that we know will work great like the part # ACM135C which comes with everything needed for a new install.

  • Can Advent Air AC Unit Replacement Dometic Brisk Air in 2006 Keystone Raptor Toy Hauler
    Hey Joy, great question but the difference between the two Advent air AC units you mentioned is that the part # ADV23SR is intended for a non-ducted application and has all of it's controls built into the air distribution box that will be on the ceiling. Then the part # ADV95SR was intended for ducted applications and comes with a wall thermostat. Since you have a non-ducted application you would want the part # ADV23SR and you'd be set! How did you like the Dometic unit?

  • How Loud Is The 13,500 Btu Advent Air RV Air Conditioner ADV96SR?
    Hi Sherrill! The Advent Air 13.5k RV Air Conditioner # ADV96SR have a decibel rating of 76, so roughly the sound of a fairly loud vacuum cleaner. One thing to also be aware of, this is only the roof top unit and it does not include the other components to get it working. Unless your current AC system was made in 2025 or later, that is. Anything prior to 2025 used a different coolant (R410a) and those components will not work with the new stuff. So with that said, if you do have one of...

  • Looking For A Replacement AC Unit Only For My Current
    Hey Jerry, Unfortunately there was a change in EPA regulations meaning anything 2024 and earlier is not compatible with new replacement units. We do not carry an exact replacement for your Coleman so you would need to replace the whole system. There may be a chance if you give Coleman a call they have a direct replacement that could be compatibly with your system still. Since we do not have a replacement I recommend going with a new Advent Air system, # ADV23SR. A 13,500 BTU unit that...

  • Best Replacement For Duo-Therm AC/Heat Unit On 2003 Holliday Rambler
    Hey Lynn, thanks for reaching out. The Advent # ADV23SR you mentioned comes with a manual control distribution box and does not operate thru a wall thermostat. It also doesn't have any heat capability so while you technically could use it to replace your Duo Therm setup, you'd be losing out on the thermostat control and heat capability. We do offer the Advent unit with a wall thermostat, and the part number for that system is # ADV92SR. This does not have heat capability, but you can...

  • Looking For Replacement For Coleman Mach 13,500 BTU AC Unit
    Hello Alvin, thanks for reaching out. We do have an option for replacing your Coleman AC unit. This will involve replacing your rooftop AC, controller, distribution box and thermostat. Reason being new AC units use a new R32 refruigerant. Old units use the 410a and these AC systems are incompatible with the new R32 refrigerant. So your best option is to replace the whole AC system. For that I recommend the following: - Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White...

  • Replacement AC Unit for Coleman Mach 48254c86
    Hey Mark! We have run into a lot of compatibility issues lately so we are no longer recommending the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup # ACCOL150B as a replacement. Even though the pins will line up with the 9-pin adapter we find that more often than not a complete replacement is necessary. To avoid finding out you need a new air distribution box (ADB) and thermostat while you're in the middle of the installation we recommend getting a full system. Also, AC companies...

  • Do You Still Have the Advent AC for Carrier Set-up with the Old R410a Refrigerant?
    Hello Joshua, I am very sorry but we have sold out of the ACCAR150. This year the RV refrigerant went to the new R32 from the R410a. The R410a is no longer being made, so once our stock of the old R410a is sold out, it is gone for good. The good news is that the R32 is much more efficient, great for the environment, and also great for the consumer. The not so good news is that you cannot mix the old R410a parts with the new R32 refrigerant, so you will need a whole new set-up. You will...

  • Recommended Supplemental AC Unit for 1996 Holiday Rambler
    Hey Mike! Since it is a supplemental AC and doesn't need to cool the whole thing a 13,500 Btu unit will work well. You can use the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ADV23SR. This comes with a manual air distribution box so you won't have to run any extra wiring for a thermostat. It is also a new R32 refrigerant units so you won't have to worry about parts being available down the line now that the R410 units are no longer in production. This does come with a start capacitor but you're...

  • Recommended Air Conditioner for 28' Car Trailer
    Hi Arik; a 13,500 Btu unit like the # ADV96SR you looked at will be able to handle your car trailer. The Advent Air units do a great job without breaking the bank so I do recommend them. Unfortunately, none of our air conditioners are American made. Since this is a new installation you will need the # ADV23SR. This includes the air distribution box with controls like you want, along with the star capacitor. The heat strip is available separately # ADV34QR. The unit fits 14-1/4" long x...

    No, they do not Kraig. The Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner w Air Distribution Box like item # FR59TD in white and item # FR27TD in black are the only systems that come with a remote. They use line of sight IR not Bluetooth. The Furrion Chill Cube item # FR59TD in white and item # FR27TD are 18,000 btu AC systems designed for a ductless setup. These systems include the AC unit, an air distribution box, and remote. We also have identical systems that include a thermostat item # FR69TD...

    Hi Michael; the ACCAR135 is discontinued and so are the parts for it. Everything switched to R32 refrigerant this year due to the 2025 EPA regulations. Since these new systems aren't backwards compatible a complete replacement will be necessary. For an Advent Air setup you can choose from the following: --Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV23SR or # ADV75SR (Black) --Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Single Zone - 13,500 Btu - White - R32...

  • Will Current Advent ACM135 Fit Older AC135 Lower Vent
    Hey Darin, the # ACM135 is an updated version of the AC135 that you have currently but it would not work with the lower vent assembly you have now. You'd instead want the part # ADV23SR which comes with the correct lower vent assembly like you'd need.

  • Does The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System ADV23SR Come With Everything Needed For Installation?
    Hello Marty, thanks for reaching out. The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ADV23SR is a complete AC system. It comes with the rooftop unit, distribution box, start capacitor and hardware. The only other thing you would need is materials for sealing the roof. Are you replacing an old AC unit, or adding a new system to your RV?

  • Why Does RV AC Unit Run Fan All the Time
    Hey Mark, I am sorry to hear about that. I know the Atwood AC units used to do this and it was super annoying and the reason given was that it was only way to circulate air over the thermostat to get an accurate reading. Is this the brand of AC Unit you installed or was it the Advent Air you ordered in June?

  • Will the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System part # ADV23SR Work for My Pre-wired Trailer?
    Hi Jeff, The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner for Ductless Systems part # ADV23SR will work for your second set up that's prewired for an AC. It's important to note that due to a new law passed in 2024 that required a change in refrigerant, air conditioners built prior to 2024 will no longer match up with models built after 2024. This is due to wiring changes in the control box to meet safety standards for the new refrigerant, even the plugs are different to prevent new ACs from being paired...
