Specs:
This Advent Air AC unit lets you replace an existing, old or broken air conditioner or add a new air conditioner to an area on your RV or camper that doesn't already have one. 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. For your convenience, the included air distribution box has a built-in thermostat that lets you set the fan speed and temperature. It also operates the electric heat strip, which helps keep you warm on a cold morning. 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 or add an AC unit is included, which makes installation simple and easy.
The AC unit includes an air distribution box with a built-in thermostat. The dial on the left controls the 3 fan speed settings, which let you increase or decrease the airflow. It also controls the 3 cool settings and the heat setting. The dial on the right allows you to set the temperature. Additionally, there are adjustable registers on the front and back of the box. These can be tilted up, down, or side-to-side for directing the air where needed. The removable air filter prevents dust and dirt from building up on the fan blades.
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.
The electric heat strip keeps your RV warm on a cold or frosty morning. It is operated with the control dial on the air distribution box. After you turn the dial to the OPT. HEAT setting, the compressor will shut off, and the fan will blow air over the heater and into your RV. When the optimal temperature has been reached, turn the dial to a fan or cooling setting. Please also note that the heat strip only has one temperature setting and cannot be controlled by the thermostat.
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.
To install the heat strip, mount it to the evaporator inside the AC unit with the included mounting screws. The heat strip has easy, plug-and-play installation with the supplied 30" power cord. Please note that the heat strip should be installed before the air distribution box is installed.
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.

Unit works great. I have a 2500 watt generator in my camper and with the addition of the capacitor kit, my generator starts the air conditioner easily.
Very happy.
Easy install for our rig. Really cools down our garage in the toyhauler. Highly recommend this unit if you are adding a 3rd unit or upgrading or replacing an existing unit. Overall price was very competitive to other units and shipping was fast and arrived nicely packaged.
Installed in my 6x12 cargo trailer works great I got the optional heat strip and it does a great job heating and cooling the trailer which has minimal insulation in it will run off of my 3100 watt generator
Easy installation. Is louder than my original unit supplied by RV dealer. Fan runs constantly. Would like to have it turn off when compressor turns off when temperature is made. Have not figured that out yet.
very easy install well-made product.
Ac portion of unit works great! Haven’t used the heat portion of the unit yet due to weather. Unfortunately was disappointed about unit being dented upon opening box when installing. Packaging looked liked it had been dropped out of a plane while flying over my house and landed at my front door.
Works well
Package came damaged. Timeline is tight so we used the the damaged unit.

It is great
The cover was damaged while shipping. Now has a large crack. Also the heat strip does not work. Contacted Advent and they said they will send a new one but unable to help us with the cover. Please send a replacement.
Complete package with everything we needed. Must say you get what you pay for. Some things stand out as excellent and well thought out but it does have a cheaper feel about it in then the old Carrier I replaced. Wiring was very well done. Ceiling unit is very lightweight and very flimsy. The corner where the air blower is at wanted to bend in while tightening roof bolts. Instructions stated that 5 inch ceiling to roof depth was perfect and no modification was needed but I needed to use foil tape inside the blower box. The styrofoam insulation around the fans is well done.
Not knowing what I needed I was able to successfully order the right equipment with the help of etrailer. The installation was easy with the provided instructions.
It seems to work fine. The shroud was damaged in shipping. It is a little noisy, but overall is OK.
Ac option is awesome Good cold air install was very straight forward and easy. Heat option isn’t that great. Doesn't really put out much heat but overall good product
We bought both AC units for our RV we live in AZ both units work very well in the desert
We actually used it for out boat and works excellent.
Easy to install and works great.
I just got it in the mail. There is a local dealership near me that I plan to have them to install it.
Awesome product!
