Air Distribution Box and Thermostat

Advent Air Air Distribution Box

The low profile 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.

Gives me an additional 4 inches lower height so I can now get the camper in my garage



by:

Thanks fast service



by:

You were very helpful and it is perfect!



by:

The unit runs and cools nicely, but with the thermostat set at the coldest, it doesn’t get as cold as I would expect before the compressor kicks off.



by:

Great service and received air conditioner in two days. Thanks Hannah!



by:

So far the product has been great more importantly, customer service is even better than five stars Jill R Did a great job and I will be doing more business with this company.



by:

Me and my wife were able to install it no problem. She read the instructions and I did the labor work! I would double check on how much you tighten the bolts down. Over all I gave it 4 stars only cuz I haven’t taken the rv out in July to test it against the heat.



by:

Easy installation



by:

Only 4 stars because I just finished installing it tonight. Installation instructions were easy to follow and it fired right up once install was complete. If it still works good down the road I’ll give it 5 stars. Sure beats the $3,200 quote by an rv dealer to install one on my weekender horse trailer.



by:

it's a great family project everything was like they said it was the videos were helpful



by:

Installation was straightforward and is cooling well. And it's quieter than my previous one. The only issue was that the documentation showing dimensions around the opening were wrong.

I am glad the installation was straightforward and it is working well. Tell me a little more about the dimensions around the opening. Did you have to fill in some gaps or was it too large and you needed to open it some more? We might need to update those instructions!

  • Replacement AC for a Coleman 7300 Series AC Unit
    Possibly leaning more towards no. The issue we've discovered in the last 18 months is the adapter included with the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup item # ACCOL135 does not match up the pin functions on the air boxes. So you'll have to rewire the adapter cable if you encounter this issue. Our solution has been to replace the older AC systems with all new components like the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System item # ADV45SR. If you have any additional...

  • What Advent Air Conditioner will Replace My Dometic Penguin AC Only?
    Hello Darrin, Sorry to hear that your Dometic Penguin went into retirement. The RV AC's went to a new refrigerant this year, they went from the R410a to the R32. You cannot mix the old R410a parts with the new R32 parts, they have made them to not physically match up but that's only because if you do mix the parts it could cause a spark and result in a fire. As we sell out of our R410a parts, they are gone for good. The new R32 is more efficient than the R410a, so it is a win for all,...

  • Can Advent Air RV AC Unit Replace Dometic
    Hey Chris, at one point we thought that the Advent Air AC units could easily plug into the lower Dometic units but it turns out that isn't always the case so we stopped recommending it. You can replace your Dometic with an Advent setup but you'll have to replace the lower unit too like with the kit part # ADV45SR if that's something you'd be interested in.

  • Recommended Air Distribution Box for a R32 Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System
    Hey Russell, thanks for all of that. The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System item # ADV45SR you were looking at will not work with the Air Distribution Box w/ Wall-Mounted Thermostat for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners item # ACRG15. The item # ADV45SR has the new R32 refrigerant in it so it would not be backwards compatible with any older system. If you are wanting to go with the Advent Air 13,500 btu item # item # ADV45SR AC you would need to purchase the entire setup with...

  • Replacement AC Unit for an Airxcel 48253C966
    Hey Todd, thanks for reaching out! All of the current AC units use their own wiring and connectors. You might be able to find a tech who can wire in the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR manually, but your best bet will be to get a complete replacement system to ensure everything is compatible. I recommend sticking with the Advent Low Profile, but using the Kit # ADV45SR which allows you to change the settings manually at the distribution box, or the Kit # ADV65SR which...
