This Advent Air AC unit lets you replace an old or broken air conditioner on your RV or camper. It works with your existing Advent Air or Dometic air distribution box, and it is compatible with Coleman Mach or Carrier setups if used with an adapter wiring kit (ACCOLKIT, ACCARKIT - sold separately). 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. And everything you need in order to replace or add an AC unit is included, which makes installation simple and easy.
Simple Installation
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 needed. Once installed, the hard plastic cover on the AC can easily be removed for maintenance and cleaning.
And in order to fully complete installation, this AC needs to be paired with your existing Advent Air, Dometic, Coleman Mach, or Carrier air distribution box and thermostat. Please note that an adapter wiring kit (sold separately) is needed if you are replacing a Coleman Mach or Carrier air conditioner.
Additional Accessories
Additional accessories can be purchased separately to improve the performance of your Advent Air AC unit. The start capacitor (ACMSCKIT) improves the performance of your AC by using stored energy to jumpstart it. And the electric heat strip (ACMHD) removes the chill on cold or frosty mornings in your RV, ensuring you stay comfortable. Please note that the heat strip will only work on Advent Air AC units.
Advent Air Warranty Coverage
2-Year limited 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.

Replaced an old dometic AC unit with this one. I ended up having to replace the controller as well. The only issue I ran into was the new unit requires AC and DC power. The original unit only had AC. I had to piggy back off of an overhead light for the DC power. Otherwise everything works well.
by: Joseph04/27/2024
Great people at etrailer!
I worked with Rochelle by phone, she was very friendly and knowledgeable. The unit arrived within a few days and was super easy to insall. I bought the 13,500 BTU unit which replaced an old Dometic 15000 BTU unit and it works with plenty of air!. 4 bolts (not included so used the old ones). and one 6 prong plug. Highly recommend and will be shopping here again when I need something next time.
by: Penny Pincher05/10/2024
Other than having to remove the existing vent on my popup trailer, which was a bit difficult, the AC unit was easy to install right through the same hole. I had to wire up my own power cord, which didn't come with it, as this unit was primarily meant for RV's with wiring in the roof.
by: Ryan T.03/30/2024
Extremely fast shipping and an easy install! I purchased this unit to replace my original Dometic unit that had been leaking Freon and the transition was flawless.
by: David 03/10/2024
This was touted as being a direct replacement for the Dometic AC unit I had on my trailer... and that is EXACTLY what it was.. once I lined up the gasket with where my old AC was I only had to adjust it about 1/4 inch to get perfect alignment... the power plug goes in only one way so even I could install this. Whole process took about 45 mins for removal of the old system to immediately feeling the cold air as soon as I turned this one on. Would definitely do business with etrailer again.
by: David 03/08/2024
You get personal assistance with all your questions answered. Air Conditioner was shipped out immediately and quickly received in perfect condition. Highly recommend!
by: James03/06/2024
The first AC unit came damaged. Not severely, but dented on one side. etrailer's customer support was fantastic. They rushed a new AC unit to me and made arrangements for UPS to pick up the old one.
For those shopping for the AC unit beware, it does not come with bolts and trailer doesn't sell them. My existing bolts were bent, so I had to get a new set on Amazon.
by: Joey07/26/2022
The unit is smaller than the unit I replaced and the fit was perfect at the access way. The Advent was plug and play with the Dometic harness and lower bezel. I couldn't be happier I had to look up torque specs for the gasket, as there were no instructions, but it was just a Google search (33-35 inch pounds)
by: Michael04/13/2024
Easy to install very quite
Blows ice cold
by: David 06/01/2024
So far everything is working great great people to work with specialty Paula in customer service very nice lady in this age and time very refreshing to have that helpful ness and care thank you would recommend
by: Roger 11/08/2023
Was very impressed with the amount of air that this unit gives from ducts. About half
the weight of a Dometic and half the price.
Easy Installation - hardest part of this was removal of old unit. Will be purchasing more
when other old AC units quit cooling.
by: Patrick 09/10/2023
This by far was the easiest installation of an RV Rooftop AC Unit! Literally several phillip head screws to undo the switch panel. Then unplug the old unit from the switch panel four 7/16 screws removed and then lift out the old unit. Unscrew the old fan vent with two screws. Screw this back onto the new unit, lift in place and bolt down the new unit. Less than an hour installation. And a great dollar savings over the original unit.
by: Eric 02/06/2024
I tried working with a different company (united rv) what a joke.
E-trailer is the best !
by: Edward L08/17/2022
Great A.C. and perfect replacement for my Dometic unit that was 21 years old. Easy installation with all of the foam sealant in the right areas.
I would given etrailer five stars but there's two items they can improve on.
1. Better package and bubble wrap for the new roof unit. My cover was cracked on one side due to no secure wrapping.
2. A basic diagram of where to attach the old coolant coil sensor.
Last but not least Etrailer did it again with a affordable product and fast shipping. I'm in South Florida and my travel trailer is 60° in open sun with an out temperature of 95°.
Thanks guys for your outstanding customer service.
by: Jim 09/06/2023
Price was excellent! Shipping was very quick! Installation was plug and play, simply the reverse of removing the old Duotherm Roof AC. I reused the original interior panel with out problems.
Thanks etrailer, I will buy from again.
Some advice to purchaser's: the AC was delivered by 3rd party carrier and left standing on end on the front porch. My dad was an HVAC tech and had told me long ago, "if a refrigerator or AC unit is stored or moved on it's side to leave it upright for 24hours before plugging it in". Good advice. It allows the compressor oil to drain back into the compressor.
by: Eric06/30/2021
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.
by: Larry08/26/2022
Just finished installing this unit and it truly is a direct replacement for Dometic. I feel I got a fair price and shipping was fast. Taking off 1 star because the unit did arrive with a small dent along the base but this did not affect the install or function. Also, there was no install or warranty information included with the unit. Since this is the 2nd time I've had to replace the A/C on my RV, warranty info is kinda important.
by: Ken08/25/2023
The installation was literally plug and play. New unit works well. Advent needs to upgrade their packaging. The first unit I got was damaged. The second was damaged but not as badly. E trailer was excellent in getting me a replacement, shippers are hard on stuff. Really happy with the outcome.
by: Albert M08/23/2022
Finally received a month after I ordered the unit with that being said the installation wasn’t too bad however I had to do a little modification due to the 7 inch bolts being a quarter inch shy for my trailer but once I’ve got that figured out the rest was smooth sailing. So we’ll see what happens next Summer as the heat is now winding down.
by: Marty 03/17/2024
I’ve only used it on three camping trips but it work great! No problem and ex install.
by: Charles03/25/2024
Awesome company and great service I would highly recommend to anyone looking for there products
by: Kelly 07/12/2023
Exactly what we needed. Installation was simple and customer service was great.
I ordered 2 new ac’s for my camper. At the time of this review I have only installed 1 but it is working great. I am no professional but I was able to install it by myself. However, I recommend getting help with lifting and lowering the units to and from the roof. I will review the other one once I get it installed.
by: Matt 03/27/2024
Easy install and saved some money compared to the other options. Replaced a 20 year old Dometic and the install took about 30 minutes.
by: Eber04/17/2024
Only 1 item was delivered
by: John03/22/2023
Bought unit to replace dead one on our 5th wheel. Our set up is ducted, so there is no air distribution box and the relay box ( where the 110v connects and 6 pin plug connects) was mounted under the old ac units shroud. This is not included with the unit. Unit arrived and install was very straight forward, I had to use the Dometic relay box from the old unit and install a new foam gasket divider for return air. I was up and down in about an hour. Doesn't blow super strong and isn't as quiet as the old unit, but it blows cold and everything works.
Would be nice if Advent included a owners/installation manual, but a quick trip to manualslib.com was all it took to find one.
I will mention that I called etrailer to ask about the relay box and Karen was very helpful and very prompt in getting with sales and tech and then back to me with the answers. Two thumbs up.

- Recommended Replacement RV Air Conditioner For An Older Atwood UnitWhen it comes to replacing your old Atwood system I recommend The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - Black # ACM135B. This AC unit lets you replace an existing AC or add a new AC to your RV or camper, it will work with your existing Advent Air, Dometic, COleman Mach, or Carrier air distribution box and thermostat.

view full answer... - What Size Breaker is Needed for a Advent Air Air Conditioner 13,500 BTUYou'll want to use a 20 Amp breaker for an 13.5K BTU Advent Air air conditioner. If you'll be adding any more AC loads to your enclosed trailer now or in the future, I recommend looking into power centers like part # PD4135K. These will give you an AC breaker panel, a DC fuse panel and a converter to charge your trailer batteries if you are hooked up to shore power. I've attached a link to our selection for you to check out. You'll notice different Amp ratings for the converters. The...

view full answer... - Replacement Fan Blower Motor for an RV Air Conditioner UnitI do have advice for you but unfortunately, we do not carry any replacement blower fan motors for any of our air conditioner units. I would also not be able to confirm if you can use one brand's motor in place of another though my guess would be no. I recommend checking with the manufacturer to see if the part you are looking for is able to be replaced. If not and you do decide to replace the entire unit or in the near future then the most cost effective option we have for you is the Advent...
view full answer... - Weight Of The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White # ACM135 weighs approximately 75lbs so I recommend reinforcing the roof of your Interstate 16ft enclosed trailer to ensure it doesn't cave in and damage anything or hurt anyone. These units were designed for RV's that have 250lbs - 280lbs weight capacity roofs.
view full answer... - How to Determine if Advent Air Conditioner Will Fit TrailerIt is highly likely that you can use the Advent AC where the vent is now on your car trailer, though we do not have any specific blueprints or diagrams or any way to know the size of your trailer's vent opening. In order to use the Advent Air Rooftop RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 (White) or # ACM135B (Black) you would need the Ceiling Vent Assembly # ACDB and these will fit a roof opening of 14-1/4" long x 14-1/4" wide, which is the standard size opening for trailer vents so it is very likely...
view full answer... - Advent Air Conditioner Replacement For Carrier, Dometic or Coleman-Mach Air ConditionerThe only way to know if you have a Carrier or Dometic air conditioner is by looking at your air conditioner, which can certainly be a pain as it's on top of your trailer, but that's the only way to tell what you have. That said, the Advent air conditioners that will work as replacements are the same no matter if you have a Carrier or Dometic, the only difference will be if you need the Carrier adapter or not. You can choose from either 13,500 Btu or 15,000 Btu and if you want White or...
view full answer... - Replacement Air Conditioner For A Coleman Mach 10 Air ConditionerYes, the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 will work great as a direct replacement for your Coleman Mach 10 air conditioner. With the use of the Coleman adapter # ACCOLKIT wiring harness, you will be able to use your existing air distribution box and thermostat. Additionally, to further improve the performance of this air conditioner, you can use a Start Capacity for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMSCKIT. What this does is use the stored energy to jumpstart the air conditioner,...
view full answer... - Can The Gasket For An Advent Air Rooftop AC Unit Be Readjusted The gasket for the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 is just made of foam so it should expand back to its normal shape when you loosen the mounting bolts. If it didn't or it started to tear off of the bottom of the unit then you would want to fully remove it and replace it with another like the Valterra Foam Weather Stripping for RV Air Conditioners # A10-1414 to avoid water from leaking in through a compromised seal.
view full answer... - Replacing Coleman AC Unit With Advent Air AC UnitWe have what you need. The RVP Model 7632B8764 can be replaced with the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White # ACM135. You will need to use the Coleman Mach Adapter Wiring Kit for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACCOLKIT to work with your coleman set up.
view full answer... - Will Advent Air Replace Dometic DuoTherm Brisk II AC UnitThe Advent Air Rooftop RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 has connectors that match up with Dometic AC unit wiring. Since your DuoTherm Brisk II is a Dometic AC unit the Advent 13.5K will install directly in its place and you can use the same controls. I do recommend also installing the Start Capacitor # ACMSCKIT as well. This stores energy needed to start the Advent unit so that you aren't pulling a lot of power just to start your AC unit.

- Can Advent Air RV A/C 15000 BTU Be Used To Replace 13500 BTU Dometic A/C In Trailer?Due to how warm it normally is in Florida, you would indeed benefit from replacing your 13500 BTU Dometic Air Conditioner with the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 15,000 Btu - White # ACM150. This option would be a direct replacement for your current Dometic unit, so this is the option I recommend. I included an installation video of the # ACM150 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Replacement Options for Dometic AC on 2018 Grand Design Reflection 150We have two cool only replacement options for your Dometic AC on your 2018 Grand Design Reflection 150. One is the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 which stands 12-13/16" tall. The other is the Furrion Chill # FR58PR which is 13-5/8" tall. The Furrion is slightly higher but has a sleeker design. This would also require the # C-FACR15SA-A01 adapter wiring kit for installation.
view full answer... - Installation Instructions for Advent Air Rooftop RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 There is not a standard plug available that would allow you to plug the Advent Air Rooftop RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 right to an extension cord. The unit will need to be hardwired using the included wiring and hardware. I have attached the complete installation instructions that you can use for reference. To complete the installation you will also need a ceiling vent and thermostat like part # ACDB.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Air Conditioner For A Dometic Duo-Therm 57915.622For your Dometic Duo-Therm 57915.622 I recommend checking out the: -Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135. This is a direct replacement for your current unit, has a 13.5K Btu per hour heating capacity, and will plug into your existing thermostat.
view full answer... - Is a Start Capacitor Required to Use the Advent Air RV 13,500 Btu A/CNo, the Start Capacitor for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMSCKIT is not required to use the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135. The Start Capacitor for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMSCKIT will help to jumpstart your A/C if you are not getting enough power to start your A/C. It stores energy that will later be used for the next startup. It is not required to have the start capacitor, but it is a good tool to have.
view full answer... - Is There An Adapter To Connect A Dometic Thermostat To An Advent Air AC Unit The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 has an available adapter, the # ACCOLKIT, to connect to a Dometic controller if it requires a 9-pin connector but there isn't a specific adapter for it to communicate with a Dometic thermostat. The ability for the thermostat to work is really going to depend on how it connects to the controller. Typically thermostats have to be hardwired to the controller. You'll need to figure out how the thermostat connects to the controller and see if the controller...
view full answer... - Replacement Shroud for AC135 RV Air ConditionerThe # PXXMCOVER (30-5/8" long x 25-3/4" wide x 10-1/2" tall) is a fit for Advent Air RV AC units, with these part numbers: # ACM135, # ACM150, # ACM135C, # ACM150C, # ACM135CH, # ACM150CH, # ACCAR135, # ACCAR150, # ACCOL135, # ACCOL150, # ACDOM135, and # ACDOM150. Other than the AC135, are there any other model numbers or a manufacturer name anywhere on the unit? I'll need more information to determine if any of the replacement shrouds we offer will fit.
view full answer... - Will the Advent Air Conditioner Work with my Coleman WiringThe Advent Air RV Air Conditioner part # ACM135 will work out great and require zero modification if you use the Coleman Mach Adapter Wiring Kit for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners part # ACCOLKIT with it. This is designed to convert the Coleman signals over the the Advent so it works using all of the original wiring. They will use the same hole size in the roof as well so no modifications there either.
view full answer... - Compatible Replacement Air Conditioner For A Dometic Duo Therm Quick CoolYes, the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 will replace your current Dometic Duo Therm Quick Cool. This unit is designed to replace an existing Advent Air, Dometic, Coleman Mach, or Carrier air distribution box and thermostat.
view full answer... - Atwood Furnace Quit Working After Install Of New Advent AC Plug & PlayThe different brands of appliances are not communicating with each other. I know this can seem flabbergasting, why would companies make things different! The # ACM135 is not design to work with a wall mounted thermostat. I recommend going with the Air Distribution Box w/ Wall-Mounted Thermostat for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners - White # ACRG15. This will replace the wall thermostat and get rid of any issues and promote good reciprocity between the appliances. I have added a diagram...

- Replacement AC Unit for RV with Dual Dometic Units that will Use Same ControlsYou'd want the Advent Air Replacement for Dometic setups part # ACDOM135 which was designed specifically for replacing a Dometic unit.

We have, however, installed the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-06200K on a 2018 Nissan NV 2500 which I have linked the installation video for you to check out.
