Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Furrion Chill, black, 13,500 BTU, high efficiency, multi-zone RV air conditioner system. Now this system does use the more energy efficient R32 refrigerant that's going to meet the 2025 EPA regulation. So all that to say, this system is not going to be backwards compatible with any air conditioner or air conditioner system from 2024 and earlier. Just so you're aware of that.
Everything that you see here, all the components here are going to be designed to work with the new R32 refrigerant. So when you are hitting the road in your RV or your camper, having a reliable air conditioning system is gonna be crucial, especially in medium to large travel trailers, class C motor homes or your standard fifth wheels. With 13,500 BTU cooling power, this system is gonna be perfect for those spaces between about 200 and 300 square feet. So this is going to give you efficient and fast cooling, ensuring that you stay comfortable. Now this complete system does obviously include our air conditioner unit.
And then I wanna give you a closeup on this side of the table here. You're gonna get the air distribution box and then the multi-zone controller, the multi-zone thermostat, then the hardware that you see here as well. So everything that you're going to need for a complete air conditioner system, and this is going to help ensure a seamless transition from an older system to a newer system so you're more comfortable during your travels and at the campsite as well. Going back to the air conditioner here, this is kind of a streamlined, more modern look here. So this is, I think, gonna help a little bit as you're going down the road to help you save on gas and things like that.
You're gonna have not as much wind resistance or air resistance with this unit because of its design. And just taking a look at some measurements here. Looking at the overall width first, we're sitting right at about 27 and 9/16 inches wide. The overall length from front to back, about 34 and 13/16 inches long. And then the overall height, about 13 and 9/16 inches tall.
This unit, just the unit itself weighs about 75, 76 pounds or so. Looking at the air distribution box, in case you're wondering about the measurements here, this is going to be 17 and 1/4 inches square, and our thermostat has the diameter of about 4 and 1/2 inches, and it's about one inch deep. So just kind of give you an idea of the size of some of the components of this system. So this air conditioner unit is designed with dual fans, so this is going to enhance cooling efficiency, it's gonna also help reduce operating noise. As you might know, that dual fan design is going to actually move cold air into the RV while at the same time circulating air around the primary fan. That's gonna help reduce heat that's generated from operating the air conditioner unit and increase air flow. Now what I really like about this unit in particular, not all units have one. This does have an included start capacitor. So sometimes campsites or generators just are not able to give you that power needed to initially start your air conditioner unit. So the built- in stark capacitor in this unit is going to give you that extra boost to jumpstart your air conditioner and so you're never gonna be left without relief from the heat, even at places that might have lower power levels. So again, that stark capacitor is included in this unit. This unit also features rubber dampeners that on the compressor that's gonna help significantly reduce vibration and noise levels. So this is gonna mean that you can enjoy peaceful nights without the background hum that typically accompanies other air conditioner units running throughout the night. This cover is pretty durable. It's a UV resistant. Obviously it's a black. We do also offer this unit and the system with a white cover as well, but it's a pretty sturdy cover that's going to do a great job of protecting the internal components from water, dirt, debris, things like that. If you ever need to do any maintenance, you can easily remove this cover. You'll just remove the Phillips head screws, take the cover off, do whatever maintenance you have to do, replace the cover, replace the screws, and you can go on down the road. There are foam pads underneath this unit that are going to help insulate this and help reduce vibrations when you have this mounted on the roof of your RV or camper. It also includes a wiring harness. You'll just pull that down from the bottom of the air conditioner unit and run that through the opening of the roof of your RV or camper. So again, everything that you need here, that's a 13,500 BTU unit. We do also offer this at a 15,000 BTU unit or option as well. So you can find those here at etrailer.com. And if you do pick this up, we would love to hear back from you regarding the installation in the operation. So you can let us know how everything went for you by dropping a comment or leaving a review on this product page. And if you do have any questions that I did not answer for you during our time together, don't hesitate to give us a call. We'd love to help you out. Well, I think 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.
FAST AND A GREAT DEAL
You had better know about wiring for a multi zone system because there is very limited instructions. I have a straight through duct system on my Monaco Dynasty and installation with that meant alot of fabrication.
Super fast delivery and product was as advertised.
Giving this set up 4 stars for a couple issues I feel shouldn't have been part of the experience but will spell them out. I did no pics or video as there are plenty out there.
This set up was delivered timely and in perfect condition. I got the old rear unit removed and the new Furrion replaced in just a couple hours. As I did with the front. First bad part. The place they gave for the 110 wiring. The engineers that decided this was ok should be made to install one. I was able to get it put in the spot but it took way longer than it should have. I replaced duo therm units that utilized phone cable t Stat wiring. I was a little skeptical about this. I called e Trailer to inquire about that. They were zero help except for the phone number to the Furrion parent Co. No let me tell you, they were awesome. Wiring schematic emailed in seconds and complete confidence given.
Installs went smoothly. I made a small mistake with electrics but was easily remedied. Next bad note. The plastic for air distribution plate is crap. 1 push in and it was broke. Was able to aluminum tape it up and get it fitted. Fire up and viola! Cold ac. I love the led lighting. The external look is rad. Overall I'm very pleased. Operation is much quieter and I'm hoping much more efficient. If you're on the fence about these units, don't be. These are great units.
I purchased the 15K Btu/hr Furrion Chill R32 system to replace a Dometic Brisk Air. The Dometic was noisy and tended to freeze up after about a half hour of use. The Furrion seems to work well and is noticeably quieter than the old AC. So far we haven't seen temperatures much above 80F, so I can't yet say how well it will work when temperatures get into the nineties and above.
The system arrived only two days after it was ordered. Installation was fairly simple. The unit is heavy (~80 lbs) and it took three people to get it on the roof of our camper. This system includes the rooftop unit itself, the air distribution box, a multi-zone controller and a multi-zone thermostat. I didn't need the multi-zone capability, but it works fine as a single zone system.
One obvious difference between the Furrion and our old Dometic AC is the dual fan motors of the Furrion. The Dometic uses a single motor to drive both the evaporator and condenser fans, so setting the fan speed to low slows down the condenser fan. Another difference is how the freeze sensor attaches to the evaporator, using a pre-installed clip to securely hold it where it needs to be. That's a huge improvement over the Dometic freeze sensor, which you just jamb into the evaporator at a random location and hope it doesn't fall out going down the road.
Installation was fairly simple. The Furrion uses a four-wire connection to its thermostat, while the Dometic thermostat is three-wire. Fortunately our thermostat cable had a spare wire, so this wasn't a problem. Also, the furnace thermostat wires for both systems go to AC unit, so that connection was simple. Care needs to be taken to confirm the DIP switch settings inside the controller, which are hard to see. I had to switch on DIP 4 to enable the furnace. There is a foam duct divider shipped inside the AC unit that has to be pulled out and installed between the AC unit and the distribution box.
There didn't seem to be a manual included with the thermostat, although a PDF is available on the Lippert site. Note that the room temperature sensor isn't actually in the 'thermostat', but rather inside the air distribution box intake. There are comments on the web saying that this causes short-cycling, but I haven't seen a problem with our ducted installation. Maybe it's a problem for unducted installations. Kits are available from Castle Winch to relocate the temperature sensor if that's a problem. I believe the furnace temp sensor IS in the thermostat.
There are a bunch of extra wires coming out of the controller, presumably for use in applications that don't accept the standard six pin connector. I capped them off with wire nuts and stowed them in the air intake.
The thermostat is back-lit, making it easy to adjust without turning on a light. When not adjusting the set temperature, the thermostat displays the room temperature. The thermostat has two program settings, although it's not real clear from the manual how they're supposed to work. Although the Furrion has three fan speeds, there's very little difference between them. The auto fan setting seems to work fine.
Very nice units! Only complaint would be, more documentation on how to install and wire the system.
Service & delivery was outstanding Furrion chill cube was delivered on time by ups.
I installed the unit on my Lance SQ805 truck camper. The camper came without AC but was wired for it from the factory (thank goodness).
I rented a material lift from Home Depot it lifted the complete assembly up to 16 feet to load on roof.
Directions for installation were very helpful, I purchased a multi zone unit even though I only needed 1 zone. Muli zone came with a wall thermostat. I mounted it close to the ceiling so it would sense the temperature near the ceiling to keep our bed cool.
I had to run wire through conduit on the ceiling to the thermostat.
Starting temperature was 101F outside, 99F inside
Set thermostat to cool & 72 degrees
After 30 minutes 85F inside
After 1 hour 72F inside & 100F outside
Starting Watts 1290 & 10.66 amps
Maximum power Watts 1439 & 12.87 amps
Fantastic cooling unit!
(I had to contact the manufacturer to get clarification on Dip switch settings to use unit with only one zone, the told me to set all switches to off. An easy adjustment described in the manual. Great service & good customer service!)
Thanks to everyone at etrailer & Lippert mfg. for their service & support.
