RV life is exciting, but it can be exhausting. When you stop for the night, you want to relax in your rig. This non-ducted, low-profile rooftop AC keeps noise in check, has a heat pump to warm cold mornings, and clears low branches in wooded sites.
After a long day outside, the goal is simple: get back to a space that cools down without filling the evening with unwanted noise. You want airflow that does its job without becoming the loudest thing in the campground. This rooftop unit moves air without demanding attention, so conversations stay normal, the TV volume stays where you set it, and sleep doesn't require earplugs. It's the kind of quiet you notice by what you don't have to do.
When a camper has been sitting in the sun, the heat lingers. This unit brings interior temperatures back down so you stop feeling hot and sweaty and can settle back into the space. With a ductless setup, cooled air is delivered directly into the RV through the included air distribution box, helping the space cool down faster without relying on ceiling ductwork. It helps get things to a point where relaxing inside your camper actually feels relaxing. Once the temperature is set, the system runs consistently without constant checking or adjustments. You're not babysitting controls or wondering if it's doing its job. You're using the space as intended, which matters when you're beat from the day and just want to melt into your camper furniture.
Some mornings start cooler than expected, especially after a night where temperatures dipped. The built-in heat pump adds light warmth to take the edge off, making it easier to get moving without immediately reaching for a full furnace cycle. It's meant for those in-between mornings when the air feels sharp, but firing up the furnace feels like more than you need.
The low-profile design serves a practical purpose beyond looks. A shorter overall height helps when backing into wooded campsites or pulling into spots where clearance can be tight. It's just one less thing to worry about when you've found that sweet campsite with shade from low branches, or when you're backing your adventure-mobile into storage for the season.
This model includes the non-ducted installation components needed to complete the system. The air distribution box, wall-mounted thermostat, and control board work together to deliver direct airflow into your RV without using ceiling ductwork. If you're comparing models and wondering what will actually fit, this unit is designed around the roof openings used by most RVs. In many cases, that means working with existing cutouts rather than planning changes to your camper. Exact measurements are listed in the specs to help you confirm fit before moving forward.

Note: Thin roofs between 2" and 3" thick may require modifying the AC unit by shortening the installation bolts and trimming the air division baffle.
Ratings & Reviews
Absolutely love my new A/C. Just a heads up, if replacing a Coleman Mach, you will need to supply 12 volts to the main board at the ceiling. Coleman Mach used 12 volts at the thermostat not in the ceiling unit. This unit sends the 12 volts to the thermostat from the board at the unit itself.
The new G.E. low profile AC unit is exactly what I wanted and its performance exceeds my exceptions. The actual install was very simple and all the pieces fit together as they should.
However, the wiring directions are very poor and need to be improved.
I changed out the original Coleman Mach 13.5K with this new G.E. and working through the wiring change over was a real challenge. Because of the way Northwood originally wired my Arcticfox fifth wheel there was no positive 12v feed at the ceiling unit. I finally figured out a way to run a positive line and then everything worked as designed.
The real trick was figuring out the two furnace trigger wires. I had to re-dedicate two of the wires at the ceiling unit that ran to the original thermostat as the two trigger wires. That and running a positive lead resolved the installation.
This new G.E. low profile 15K AC definitely produces much more air flow and is certainly much quieter.
I'm very pleased with my chose to increase the main unit as to installing a second unit in the bedroom.
