Specs:
This high-efficiency RV air conditioner with heat pump offers comfortable camping in temperatures between 45 and 159 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a heat pump conserves up to 4 times more energy than a furnace because it pulls warm air in from outside instead of generating its own. This maintains your set temperature inside when ambient temperatures get as low as 45 degrees Fahrenheit outside, which is perfect for unexpected chilly nights and mornings.
A heat pump cannot be added to an air conditioner that doesn't already have one installed. It not only helps to maintain your set temperature, but it also features a dry setting that dehumidifies your RV and reduces condensation.

This ducted RV air conditioner features a heat pump for chilly nights. Cools fast at 360 cubic feet per minute. Creates less noise than similar models. Low amp draw lets you run other appliances. Includes wall-mount thermostat, remote, and vent.Went RV camping with this heat pump this past week for 4 nights. Noise level is less than half of unit this replaced The 15k and increased air flow is wonderful. So nice not to have to worry about running a gas or table top electric heater Used heat and AC give them 5 stars each Had to run new12v to unit Already had a thermostat wire in roof and wall so cut ends off supplied new wire and spliced ends on to old cable

A year ago, I replaced the 10 yr old Carrier AC on our 30' Carriage fifth wheel with the Atwood Air Command Heat Pump. What a great decision! The new unit was surprisingly easy to install and wire myself without any issues. The hardest part of the job may be getting the unit on the roof. Fortunately, I have a friend with a forklift. The Air Command works flawlessly, cooling the camper to 72 degrees, even during our hot and humid coastal North Carolina summer. The heat pump is also a great option for saving propane, down to about 45-50 degrees. You will still need your furnace for really cold weather, but as the day warms up, with the push of a button, you can conveniently switch back to the heat pump. I am confident the Atwood Air Command will serve us well for many years- assuming of course, that I can avoid low-hanging tree branches!
I would like to give this product 5 stars but 4.5 will have to do. What I like: 1-QUIET! this thing is 40dB+ more quiet than my previous unit. 2-COOL it keeps my 27' Jayco down to below 72 when its 99+ out. 3-AUTO altho the info doesn't cover it, the thermostat has a auto mode that switches between heat and cool depending on the temp set point. 4-HEAT it also keeps the camper warm (I keep it set to 75) AS LONG AS the temp outside is 45 or above, below that it turns on your gas furnace. What I don't like: 1-In heat mode the fan cycles on for 5secs every 90secs very annoying! 2-When in cool mode fan runs continuous on low even if the condenser isn't running. But all-in-all it was well worth the purchase. Thank you Atwood and eTrailer!
Unit installed right in. Worked just like the old one. Is supposed to be more efficient we will see. The fan runs even when unit has reached temperature to keep airflow. Really like the new fan and airflow.
Awesome a/c and awesome service. I upgrade a 13.5 BTU system to a 15k with heat pump. The unit is very quiet and rapidly cools my Grand Design Reflection. The piece of mind calling a company like eTrailer and knowing you will get honest, and knowledgeable help, service and advice is a rarity. The price match guarantee is a welcomed touch. Their prices might not always be the cheapest, but by far the Best Value. David Miles From Monday RV Inspection Services Longwood FL
Great unit much better than Coleman a/c unit!
I am unable to give a rating because I just received it and I have not installed it at this point but as a gesture of good faith for the delivery of the product I will give five stars thank you so much for your time and consideration in advance always respectful: Wayne Whitson, Sr.
Review from a similar Air Command RV AC in RV Air Conditioners
Air5 conditioner works great! Better than double the airflow now with the Atwood added to the original Duo Therm. Had a problem with the shipping though. UPS decided to try and bounce the package a few times and broke the shroud. Fortunately after sending pictures of the damage Samantha H quickly sent a replacement shroud which UPS handled with kid gloves.
Review from a similar Air Command RV AC in RV Air Conditioners
I have two A/C units in the camper, I compared the original Colman Mac AC unit (2015) that is installed to the Air command that I replaced the other Coleman mac with, was looking for quieter unit that works well, as promised it is much quieter, Coleman Mac was at 84db, this air command showed 68db (taken with a free DB app on phone) at highest output level in ducted position. I also tested temperature with a IR gun. measured inside duct at closest point to units, Coleman Mac showed 58 degrees, air command showed 52 degrees. So I achieved my goal, quieter with the bonus of cooler. I will be replacing the other old unit with a air command. As I was changing units over I also decided to go with the units with the heat pump, so now I have a fireplace, heat pump (soon to have two) and standard furnace as choices to heat the camper. I also took the advise of mounting the new thermostat directly onto the units grill on the ceiling (online video), in this manner I did not have to run wires for new thermostat and as heat rises the sensor is in a very good position as its at the hottest point of the interior. Installation is super easy and you can do it yourself. YES even with a 84 pound unit. Wiring is simple AC - three standard wires DC - negative and positive Thermostat is plug and play Removal of unit is four bolts and very straight forward, just remove the ceiling cover (called a plenum) Phillips screws. two get the unit onto the roof by myself I took a 28ft ladder and put it at a angle and I tied a rope around the box and simply pulled it up to the roof (reverse to lower old unit). Would have been nice to have a spotter around the ladder to keep box straight but I was able to do it alone as I took my time.

Review from a similar Air Command RV AC in RV Air Conditioners
The folks at etrailer make it easy to order. They are informative and helpful and return phone calls promptly (thanks Heidi M). This is a big part of the buying process. As far as the product goes, it is absolutely the quietest AC I have experienced in a RV while operating on low. Quiet is why we purchased this particular unit, as our other unit which was only a year old was just to loud (approximately 70 dB on low). This unit cools our rig quickly and efficiently. The only part I question about the unit is the air return which is nothing but thin flexible Styrofoam. Not a dense Styrofoam in a plastic enclosure, or vice-versa. It is thin enough that light from the sun can transmit through it. The AC shroud does cover the Styrofoam, and time will tell whether it is durable enough to last through the elements. I did notice that the Styrofoam does squeak when going down a bumpy road and can be heard in our rig. That is disappointing.

We shopped around for the best deal we could find on a replacement A/C unit for our camper/office and etrailer was the winner by a long shot. It got to us in just a couple of days, installation was quick and easy and we were nice and comfortable in just a few hours after receiving it. Thanks etrailer, you guys are doing it right !

I really enjoyed working with etrailer, everyone that I talked to was very helpful. The A/C I ordered was shipped very fast. I will do business with them again.

WE absolutely love this A/C/. It is VERY quiet and it has a heat pump as well. We have it installed in our permanent trailer which is 38 feet long.
Review from a similar Air Command RV AC in RV Air Conditioners
We like the air conditioner but the thermostat sucks. It varies 10 degrees. If we set it at 70 degrees it will drop to 65 degrees before coming on & will go to 75 degrees before turning off. I intend to take it to a service center to have it checked in the spring. It is the same way when on heat. Other than that it works fine.

This unit works so well .the thermostat keeps steady temps.the unit is also very quiet.there is no way you could beat this unit.please do not waste your time looking at others ........this one is worth every penny........downside ...heavy to ship....make sure carriers that deliver it do not damage it.
Dennis g - 10/04/2018Review from a similar Air Command RV AC in RV Air Conditioners
I installed this unit on my Grand Design Reflection 297RSTS. It fit the bedroom hole perfectly and runs great. It is most definitely quieter than the Dometic unit in the living area. Hardest part was how to fish the thermostat wire down the wall. We resorted to cutting a notch in the medicine cabinet to do so. The unit has no controls built into the grill. My only complaint is that while it is on the fan runs constantly. I wish it cycled on and off but I called tech support. I was told that is the way it is designed.

I cannot comment on air conditioner as it wont be installed till spring of 2021. However the response of the team that handled our order especially Molly was fantastic.
Review from a similar Air Command RV AC in RV Air Conditioners
For the money I paid for this unit I am not happy with the unit as a ducting unit. I should have went with the Coleman in the first place. The ducting system on this is not working well at all. They give you a black baffle in it and it is not doing the job. The air conditioning cools but not like it should through the ducting system. I bought a 15000 instead of what was originally in there was a 13500. That being said it does not work as good as it should through the ducting system. Very disappointed.
