Video Transcript for Feature Review Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System w/ Start Capacitor

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Advent Air Black Low Profile 15,000 BTU RV Air Conditioner System. This low profile air conditioner unit is gonna let you replace, upgrade, or add a new air conditioner to your RV or camper. And this system includes an air distribution box with a built-in thermostat, along with a start capacitor. Now this low profile design is going to minimize wind resistance, and help to improve your fuel efficiency, while also providing a little bit more overhead clearance for your RV or camper.

This 15,000 BTU per hour air conditioner is going to do a great job of quickly and efficiently cooling down the inside of your RV or camper. And this is going to be compatible with your ducted or ductless systems. And this will be a bolt-on installation with the included hardware that you see there at the end of my table. Now this is gonna be great for your motor homes, your travel trailers, your fifth wheels. However, I do wanna make you aware of the fact that this has not been approved for use on school buses, food trucks, enclosed utility trailers or off-roading vehicles.

Now this is going to fit roofs with two and a half inch to five inch thickness, and an opening size of 14 and a quarter inches long by 14 and a quarter inches wide. And let me give you some overall measurements of this unit. Measuring from the front to back, we're sitting at about 31 inches long. The overall height from top to bottom, we're about 10 and one eight inches tall. And then the overall width, we're sitting about 24 and 15/16 inches wide.

And the air conditioner unit itself weighs a little under 70 pounds. Now let me go ahead and just slip the cover off here real quick. And I want to give you a view of the inside of this unit. So you have a pretty decent view from that angle there, but I think a better view would be overhead, just to give you a comprehensive look at the inside of our unit. So this air conditioner does feature a fan blade with a three speed motor that's going to give you ample airflow at 500 cubic feet per minute.

And this also features a condensation dispersion system, which is going to increase the cooling efficiency by managing the moisture to prevent water runoff. So hopefully you got a good view of the inside there. We're gonna go ahead and replace the cover. And as I do, I wanna let you know that our cover is a hard plastic cover, and it's a really nice piece of plastic, relatively thick compared to some of the other RV air conditioners that I have dealt with in the past. Some of those covers can be kind of kind of flimsy, kind of thin. That's not the case with this Advent Air Cover. It feels very sturdy. I think it's gonna do a great job of protecting the internal components from water and from other debris. And it's going to be very easy to remove. You're just going to remove the Phillips head screws that secures the lid to your air conditioner. And then as you can see, this will pop right off so you can do a little bit of maintenance or do a little bit of cleaning before RV or camping season begins. And then when you're ready to put the cover back on, as you can see, it replaces very easily. And then you'll just tighten down those Phillips head screws and you'll be good to go. One other thing I wanted to mention, this does have a rigid metal frame, and underneath there are thick foam support pads that you probably aren't gonna be able to see from that angle. But those pads are gonna give you great support between the roof of your RV and air conditioner. And then the gasket is going to seal the opening to prevent water seepage or air leaks. And those foam pads underneath are going to reduce noise after you have this installed on top of your RV or camper. Let's take a closer look at this side of the table here to go over the components. First we have our air distribution box. It has adjustable registers at the front and the back of the box that's gonna let you direct the air where you need it. The air filter is removable. You're just gonna pull those tabs back and that will open up this cover, and you'll be able to remove that air filter to wash it out, clean it, and then replace it. Of course, that's gonna help prevent dust and dirt build up on the fan blades. And then the built in thermostat controls are going to allow you to control the fan speeds, the fan settings, and your temperature settings. So it's gonna be very easy to use. The internal aluminum components are going to be rust proof and corrosion proof. And I just wanted to, I have this air distribution box sitting up on blocks, but let me just go ahead and try to give you a better overview look of it. So you see a register there, and then bringing this around on the other side, this is basically how you're gonna have this installed. It's gonna be up in your ceiling. See the other register there. This is about three and a half inches thick. So this will probably be about, extending from your ceiling after you have this installed, about three and a half inches or so. And speaking of measurements, let me give you some other measurements of our air distribution box. Looking at the overall width, we're sitting about 21 and a half inches wide, and then the length, about 22 and a half inches long. And then our start capacitor here is going to, as you probably know, jumpstart your air conditioner when a campsite or generator isn't giving you enough power to start your air conditioner. So this capacitor is going to fix that problem for you. This is going to be a very easy install inside of your air conditioner unit. Then you'll just connect the wires here. This is going to store energy that will later be used for your next start up. Now an electric heat strip, it is sold separately, but can also be picked up separately to add to this system to help remove the chill on a cold, frosty morning. So again, this kit doesn't include that strip, but you can pick that up separately here at etrailer.com and add that to your order. This is UL and CUL certified. We do also offer this air conditioner with a white cover if this black cover isn't going to go well with your setup. And if 15,000 BTU is a little overkill for you, we do also carry this in a 13,500 BTU rated air conditioner as well, both with white and black covers. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
