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.

Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
Installing was quick and efficient. At first when I hookup up unit on the inside, it was blowing hot air. After purchasing the advent air distribution unit without thermostat, everything runs smoothly. I love my unit. This my first time installing everything. I would buy again, if my second unit goes out. Great replacement for carrier unit.
Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
This was a replacement for a Carrier V 15,000 roof top. Still using the Carrier control panel and ducting. Runs and cools good but cycles more than our older advent air 13k ductless in the bedroom. Cycling may be caused by the ducting instead of ductless. It is quieter than the old Carrier V and seems to cool the same.

Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
When I ordered a rooftop ac, I was informed it may take up to 3 months for delivery. I rec'd the ac in less than 3 weeks so was extremely satisfied. 3 of us installed which went very smoothly all within 45 minutes. The ac has been working fine ever since. Also etrailer's price was a 1/3 less than [outdoors store]

The AC in itself is a little smaller than the one that it replaced and also a little noiser. The install was fairly simple and speedy it 1hour and 10 minutes to get up and running and would have been quicker if the start capacitor would have been installed at the factory, but all n all a simple install.
Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
I have tried to get this thing to run for over a year now. I'm on the third thermostat, I've checked the 12V voltage and the 110 voltage and both are good. I've wired it as per the manual and it still will not run. It will start, but will not continue running. I get an E5 code which is a communications error between the thermostat and control box or low voltage. Followed up on both and still not finding the problem. Nothing I try seems to work. My next move is to return it on warranty. I'll let you know how that goes. Right now I'm not a happy camper (pun intended).

AIR CONDITIONER ARRIVED IN 3-4 DAYS AS EXPECTED. PACKAGE LOOKED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. UPS DIDN'T COPY MY NAME OVER TO THE SHIPPING ADDRESS, ONLY THE LOT #. HAD A RV REPAIR PERSON THAT DOES WORK IN THE CAMPGROUND INSTALL IT FOR ME. WE USED A LADDER AND ROPE TO SLIDE IT UP TO THE ROOF OF OUR 2003 CARRIAGE CAMEO 5TH WHEEL. ONE PERSON PUSHING IT UP AND ONE PULLING. IT WORKED VERY WELL. THE NEW ONE BOLTED DOWN AND HOOKED UP JUST LIKE IT SAID IN THE DIRECTIONS. TOOK A LITTLE BIT TO HOOK UP THE ADAPTER CABLES AND INSTALL THE EXTRA CAPCITOR FOR WE WERE REPLACING A CARRIER AIR V MODEL, BUT NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. TOOK A TOTAL OF ABOUT TWO HOURS FOR TOTAL PROJECT. COULD HAVE DONE IT MYSELF IF I WASN'T HAVING A BACK PROBLEM. SEEMS TO RUN FINE EXCEPT FOR I WISH THE BLOWER WOULDN'T RUN ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHEN THE COMPRESSOR ISN'T RUNNING. MY OLD CARRIER DID THE SAME THING. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THERE IS A WAY TO CHANGE THAT OR NOT. I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PICTURES WHILE INSTALLING IT BUT WILL TRY AND TAKE A PICTURE OF THE NEW ONE INSTALLED.

Sir's, I purchased the replacement rooftop unit and installed it for my girlfriend, as best as we can tell the unit is working as it was designed to, though my girlfriend did say it seemed to be a bit noisier than the old unit. Thats the only thing she has had to say, that it does cool good in the living room area. Thank you for Ur following up e-mail , Rick Hardman

Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
I upgraded from my Dometic 13500 Brisk 2 to the Advent 15000. The installation was flawless, but, the installation is not entirely seamless. My Dometic had a two speed fan while the Advent 15000 has a three speed fan. I believe that the Advent is running on the medium and low speed. The unit cannot defeat the Florida heat. At 99F the unit only dropped the temp 8 degrees. The air at the registers seem to be cold, but, the airflow was not what I expected from the 15000 unit. I’m hoping that the Advent ACTH12 thermostat will work. It doesn’t appear that etrailer sells them without the AC cover. Without the initial high airflow to defeat the heat, this unit will not make muster in the south. To be fair, I’m giving a 5 for the customer service and swift shipping. All the guys got me this far, they are terrific. I submitted a question for the additional information needed to get it right. I checked all the QA&A and comments for anyone that has experienced my problem. A couple fellows upgraded but said it was all good without mentioning the three speed difference. My guess is that they live in a cooler climate or don’t realize the 15000 has three speeds. If I get the Advent thermostat and it solves my problem I will readdress my comment and also update the Q&A page.
Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
The Advent brand was recommended to us by several mobile RV repair people. Selecting the right unit was made even easier by the descriptors etrailer used. Installation was very simple and we had the old uninstalled and new installed in under 30 minutes. This unit is even quieter than the Dometic it replaced. Item was delivered within days of ordering. Easy breezy.
