Your old AC rattled itself apart. This rugged kit pairs a reinforced rooftop unit with components built to keep cooling after traveling washboard trails, dusty job sites, and backroads that test everything bolted down.
When you're replacing your unit or building a rig for backcountry trips, the last thing you want is to make guesses about what works together. This kit gives you everything you need: a medium-profile rooftop unit and air distribution box are made to work together, which makes installation smoother and the setup more reliable.
If you've ever had an AC that ran all day and still left your rig feeling muggy, this one's a different story. It's made for off-road rigs without ducted air, so it's a solid choice if you're replacing an old setup or converting a trailer or van into a camping rig. With 15,000 Btu of cooling power, you'll feel the temperature shift in your space within minutes, not hours. The air will feel dry, cool, and breathable.
Most rooftop ACs are designed for highways and campgrounds. Coleman-Mach's Roughneck units are different. They're braced and reinforced so they don't rattle apart when the road gets bad. A stabilizer ties the compressor and coil into a solid frame, the coil housing is steel instead of plastic, and a reinforced basepan keeps the whole unit from flexing. Add it all up and you get a unit that stays together through the vibration, bumps, and jolts that come with off-road travel.
The air distribution box gives you full control right at ceiling level, with simple knobs you can reach without stepping over gear or climbing around your build. You can direct airflow with adjustable dampers, and the low-profile Euro styling helps cover old ceiling marks if you're swapping out an older unit. When the filters get dusty, the pop-out grilles make cleanup fast. No tools required. Just pull, rinse, and snap it back in.
When the nights get cold or the temps drop before sunrise, this system can take the edge off. It's prepped for a 5,600 Btu heat strip (sold separately), which gives you just enough warmth to stay comfortable without firing up the furnace. It's a simple upgrade that's especially handy if you're boondocking or working remote jobs in unpredictable weather.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a look together at this Coleman Mach Roughneck Mach 15, 15,000 BTU ductless RV AC system with this textured white cover. Now one of the biggest headaches in RV repairs is trying to figure out which parts are compatible with each other. But this kit's gonna take all that off of your plate. This rooftop unit comes with an air distribution box and the hardware that you're gonna need to install this. Everything is designed to work together, so installation's gonna go a whole lot smoother for you.
Nothing's gonna catch you off guard. So, whether you're doing the installation yourself or you've got someone else doing it for you, having everything designed as a kit is going to make the job go faster, it's gonna be cleaner and a whole lot less stressful for you. Now this Roughneck series is specifically designed for harsher environments. So, if you travel in areas with extreme heat, lots of dust or rugged terrain, this unit is made to hold up better than your standard rooftop AC. This does have a sturdier build and reinforced components so it won't get rattled apart as easily on those bumpy roads.
And this system is made for your RV without the ducted air. So, this is gonna be perfect if you're replacing an old setup or if you're adding maybe a second unit to cool a separate space. And at 15,000 BTUs, this is going to give you about 10 to 12% more cooling power than a 13,500 BTU unit. And so this is also gonna be designed for your larger RVs or campers. Think about 30 feet and larger.
So, this will be especially great for you if you have slide outs or maybe if you're, if you find yourself more frequently in those hot and humid climates where that extra capacity is going to do a good job of keeping your RV or camper more comfortable. Inside of this unit are large coils and air flow boosting fins that are gonna help pull the heat out more efficiently so your RV's gonna stay cooler with less strain on the system. Giving you some measurements here. Looking at the overall length from back to front, we're about 38 inches long. The overall width is going to be right at about 27 and a half inches wide.
The overall height about 14 inches tall. This weighs about 85 pounds and this is going to fit over your standard roof openings of about 14 and a quarter inches by 14 and a quarter inches. The streamlined medium profile shroud is going to reduce drag and it has a textured finish, kinda like a matte finish, so it's not glossy. So, I think it's going to do a good job of holding up for you real well, a great job of protecting those internal components from dirt and debris and water. And if you notice, there's a little bit of give inside of this cover, so it's not hard and rigid like some other covers that I've seen are. So, I think it's gonna give a little bit more if you happen to hit something. I don't think this is going to crack as easily as those harder, more rigid covers. I do like the textured finish. I think the white is going to blend in with a lot of modern RV aesthetics. So, being that this is not glossy but it's textured, I think it's gonna weather better than those glossy, harder shrouds. It's gonna be easy to remove and replace if you ever need to do any maintenance to it on the inside. And I wanna give you a closeup view of this side of the table here. I wanted to just talk briefly about the components here. Our air distribution box is gonna give you full control right at the ceiling level. You've got your fan control and your temperature control here. So, simple knobs that you're gonna be able to reach. You're gonna be able to direct the airflow where needed with these knobs. And then the filters are gonna be reusable. You're gonna be able to easily clean them. If you do rinse them out, just make sure that they are completely dry before you pop them back in to the air distribution box. Giving you some measurements here. Looking at the overall length, about 21 and three quarters inches long. The overall width about 20 and three quarters inches wide. And this is going to stick down from your ceiling about two inches or so. Everything that you see here is included, hardware. So again, it's really nice to get a complete kit like this. Now, this system is not going to be backwards compatible with any AC system from 2024 and earlier due to this using the new R-32 refrigerant that meets the 2025 EPA regulations. So, that's why getting a kit like this is great because everything here is designed to work with that new R-32 refrigerant. So, just be aware of that. And sometimes it's not cold enough to kick on your furnace, but still it can be a little too chilly to be comfortable. I do wanna point out that a heat strip is sold separately that you could pick up if you just want something to take the chill out of the air, especially on those early potentially frosty mornings. So, if you don't want to kick on your furnace, but you want something to take the chill outta the air, take a look at that heat strip. I'm including the model number there for you on your screen. You can take that model number, pop it in the search field of our website. That will take you to that heat strip. And if you decide to add that to your order, it's gonna be a pretty simple install inside this AC unit. If you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this kit or anything else that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
