E-trailer was very helpful dealing with this problem, ups was very disappointing.

A/C unit is fine but as usual, Dometic support and documentation is miserable. The unit comes with a pre-installed connector for the 120VAC circuit. The pre-installed connector is proprietary and no mating connector is provided for making connection to your wiring. eTrailer support had no information so I spent an hour chasing down part #s with the connector mfr and Dometic. If you get this A/C you will need to order part# 19045-1000 to complete the wiring. Dometic tech support told me that cutting off the pre-installed connector and using a junction box will void the A/C warranty. They sell a product that can't be installed without a proprietary part that they don't identify or provide.

  • Availability of Heat Strip or Heat Pump for Furrion Chill Cube RV AC
    Hey Jon; I was actually just talking to Furrion about heat options for the Chill Cube yesterday (1/21/2025). At this time, the only way to have heat with this unit is through a furnace on a ducted setup. The Furrion Chill Cube RV AC w/ Air Distribution Box, Thermostat # FR49TD (black) and # FR69TD (white) come with a wall mounted thermostat capable of running a furnace. However, adding a furnace is pricey and since you asked about a heat strip I'm guessing you don't have one already. You...

  • What AC with Heat Pump will Replace My Domectic Ducted AC with SKU 91008684415?
    Hello Dave, Since your current A/C has a heat pump, your best option is to stay with Dometic, as most other brands do not offer heat pumps. While some models allow you to add a heat strip, those don't provide nearly the same heating performance as a true heat pump. That said, the key factor here is which thermostat you have. If you're using the Dometic CCC II Multi-Zone Thermostat – White # DMC23ZR, then you’ll be fully compatible with the new Dometic Penguin II High Capacity AC with...

  • Does The Furrion Chill Cube Have A Heating Option
    Hey Alex, No, the Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner # LC94DX is a cool only unit. We do offer other options like the Dometic Penguin II # DMC48ZR, which offers a heat pump, if that's the kind of heater you're looking for. If so we'll need to confirm what you have and see if this unit is compatible or if you'll need to replace your air distribution box and thermostat as well.

  • Best AC Unit To Add To 1992 Ford F350 Ambulance Conversion
    Hey Michael. That ambulance conversion is awesome! While we are in Missouri, and I am a Chiefs fan (I know, I know), that thing would be fun to tailgate in regardless of team affiliation. Honestly the commanders had a great season and were super fun to watch this year. Still, that ambulance is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while, and hopefully I can help make it cooler! As far as adding an AC unit, the main thing to consider is the roof thickness, and the strength of the roof....
