Specs:
This AC unit from Advent Air is designed to replace the old or broken Dometic air conditioner on your RV or camper. It plugs directly into your Dometic setup and works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Dometic air distribution box and thermostat. This eliminates the need of an adapter wiring kit, which saves you time and effort. The AC has a powerful fan and motor that provides a steady stream of air to efficiently cool the inside of your RV on a hot or muggy day. The included start capacitor will help jumpstart the AC. This beneficial upgrade provides the AC a boost when shore power or generator power isn't enough to start it. And everything you need in order to replace your AC unit is included, which makes installation simple and easy.
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.
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.
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.
2-Year 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), youll 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.

This AC unit replaces the Dometic air conditioner on your RV or camper. AC plugs directly into your Dometic setup to work with your existing air distribution box. Start capacitor jumpstarts AC when camp power or generator power isn't enough.Direct replacement for Dometic Duotherm A/C. This was easy as advertised Plug and PLay. Start capacitor was also a nice addition and was also plug and play. Shipping was very fast and on time. Excellent price was a bonus because I ordered cause no other suppliers could tell you what would work with my existing system. Thanks for the Great Service and Great Product.
Very loud ac unit. I actually had to take the shroud off, put a cushion between a copper pipe and the compressor to reduce one noise. It does cool good though, and was easy to install.
I am so happy with my Advent A/C unit. I live in Florida and have duo residency with my 82 year old mom who I take care of and an RV for " my time". MY Dometic went out, this fit perfectly and I had a neighbor do it. The price was right especially for me, as I'm disabled as well. I would highly recommend an Advent.
Shipping speed was great. Arrived before estimated date when I first placed the order. Installed in under a hour by myself. Everything worked as it should. Plugged right in and screwed it down with the original fixture plate. Looked to be better quality copper work and supports than my old dometic.
Only problem was the shipping company. It arrived on its side and must of been upside down at some point because the capacitor fell out of its holder. A big no-no when it comes to compressors as the oil could migrate and sieze it up if you try and start it immediately. No major physical damage and the unit did fire up with no issues, After a waiting period of being upright.
Overall. Good price, fast shipping. Would buy again
Direct replacement for Duotherm Brisk air as advertised. Start capacitor nice addition. Mounted on base right side of unit. (See pics) Swap used all existing interior controls. Took about one hour. Shipped and delivered on estimated dates. Nice cold air.
Had to replace unit that was original to my 1999 Lance camper. Works great and easy to install
The Advent A/C unit is working great. Hardest part is getting it up on the roof. 6 plug works as advertised and was easy. There was a thermistor freeze protection with two wires that came from the Dometic unit. No one I contacted at etrailer or Advent had any idea it existed and couldn’t help me find a replacement. It’s working fine without it, but was concerning for a while.
It seemed to blow colder air than the other a/c in my rv.
Complete job done in one hr.simple install old thermostat may need upgrade won't shut off but cools it down fast and quiet.
ihad unit installed.worked good for 5 days now just blowes hot air. wood not recom
