Video Transcript for Review of Advent Air RV Air Conditioners - White 13500 Btu RV AC - ADV44QR

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Advent Air White 13,500 BTU RV Air Conditioner. Now this 13,500 BTU RV AC is designed to cool down your camper or motor home quickly and efficiently. So this is gonna be a solid upgrade for you if, let's say, your current AC isn't keeping up or it's gonna be a great option if you're adding an AC for the first time. So again, this is gonna be made specifically for your RVs, your motor homes, your travel trailers, and 5th wheels.

But I do wanna let you know that this one has not been designed for things like school buses, food trucks, or utility trailers or off-road vehicles. Typically the roofs on those type of vehicles or trailers are not reinforced enough to handle a unit on top of those vehicles or trailers. So again, this is a 13,500 BTU unit. So this is gonna be ideal for let's say smaller RVs and in moderate climates. It's gonna handle normal conditions without overloading your system.

A 15,500 BTU unit that you can also get this in, those are gonna be better for your larger RVs in hotter climates or heavy sun exposure. It's going to cool faster and keep up in extreme heat. Before we go any further, let's go over some measurements. So the overall length here from end to end, I got roughly 32 inches long. The overall width here at the widest point, about 26 and 1/4 inches wide.

Then the height's gonna be roughly 13 and 1/2 inches tall. You're gonna be able to use this unit in either a ducted or ductless system. Of course, that's going to depend on the type of system you currently have in your RV or your travel trailer. This is just going to be the AC only, so you will have to make sure that you have the compatible air distribution box and thermostat as well. And we do sell those complete kits, whether it's gonna be for your ducted or ductless system.

So this uses the new R32 refrigerant. That's gonna comply with the new EPA regulations that took effect in 2025. That refrigerant is more efficient and environmentally friendly compared to the older R410A systems. But because of the new refrigerant, this is not going to be backwards compatible. So this isn't going to plug and play with pre-2025 systems as differences in wiring and controls typically require matching components for proper operation. So you will have to make sure that your thermostat, your air distribution box and other components that are tied into the AC are all going to be compliant and work with the new R32 refrigerant because this will not be backwards compatible with anything before the R32 refrigerant. Performance wise, you're gonna get consistent cooling throughout the space and this includes a thick gasket and foam pads that are going to sit between the AC and your roof. And on your screen there, I'm popping up a picture of the bottom of this AC unit just showing you those gaskets and pads there. So those do a couple of things. It helps seal everything up to prevent water leaks and air gaps. It's also gonna cut down on noise and vibration while it's running. Our cover here is made from durable plastic. That's gonna protect the internal components from weather and debris. It's going to be able to be easily removed as well. It's held in place by Phillips head screws, so if you ever need to take this off for whatever reason, cleaning it or maintenance or whatever, just remove the screws, pop the shroud off, and then when you're done, you can pop the shroud back on, replace the screws and you'll be good to go. But it's a nice cover. As you notice, it does have kind of this dark gray accent here. Kind of gives it a more modern look. It does include the wiring harness you probably saw before I hit the wrong button. And there it is again. So it's a six pin connector. This comes through the bottom front of the AC unit and it'll run through the opening in your roof, and then you'll plug that into your air distribution box. Installation is gonna be pretty straightforward. This is gonna bolt onto your roof. Again, this does not include any hardware though, so the bolts that are needed to mount this into place usually come with that air distribution box. This is going to fit standard RV roof openings of 14 and 1/4 by 14 and 1/4 inches. And it's gonna work with roof thicknesses from about two and 1/2 inches to five inches thick. So if you are looking for a complete kit, whether it's for the 155K or the 135K AC unit, we do have those available here at etrailer. Again, you'll just need to choose the kit that's gonna work either with your ducted or ductless system. It'll come with the appropriate air distribution box and thermostat and other components that you might need. But again, this will just be for the AC only. One final note, if you need help with installation, on this product page underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our Installer Locator. Click that link and answer the questions that it has for you and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to do the installation for you. That's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
