Ugh, that's gotta be annoying to deal with. I am sorry about that, Stacy. It is possible that the leaking is from the condensation drainage openings being clogged on the unit. Another possibility is that the roof gasket is damaged and needs to be replaced. Lets confirm that the drainage openings are not clogged before we look more into the gasket damage possibility.

Quick shipping and customer service roc ked!

Arrived ups excellent condition in two days, can't beat that. Hardest part of installing was removing the vent where I was installing the air conditioner. Seems to be cooling very well. Etrailer are always great to deal with.

This unit arrived well packed, no problems with shipping damage.
Works much better than the old coleman 13500 unit we had.
Will actually get down to temperature and turn of, old unit never turned off.
adapter kit for coleman unit , holes did not line up with existing ceiling vent.
Had to screw spacers to four corners in roof opening to attach air conditioner.
The wiring harness worked fine, plug and play. Over all very happy

First unit arrived broken but did not find that out until I got it on the roof of my RV. Second unit short-cycled from the first time I turned it on. I called etrailer and they said I would have to deal with Furrion for warrantee work. Furrion sent me a claim form that I was supposed to get a repairman to fill out. One local RV store said months before they could service the unit, the other wouldn't touch an AC unit installed by owner. Did everything I could to repair myself, but could not find the problem. After months (6) I read a blog that mentioned how a Furrion owner found a room air-temp wire in the middle of unit that sensed cold air as soon as the unit started, so it shut off the unit. I looked at my unit and, sure enough, found an indoor-temp wire and outdoor-temp wire in the blower cavity. Pulled wires out and pinched them under the exhaust panel to keep them away from the cold air and the unit started working more properly. I think I may need to connect a temp gauge to the indoor-temp wire and get it further from the unit. Why doesn't the unit use the thermostat to know what the inside temp is? Unfortunately, through this whole process, etrailor was no help at all.

Trailer is my go-to site for anything related to my RV and towing. Customer support is always outstanding with knowledgeable staff. I originally ordered this through the manufacturer. They randomly chose me for a security check that lasted 3 weeks. After they confirmed I was me they said my card was rejected and I had to start my order over again. I did just that with etrailer and got a better price.
It should be noted that I am a full timer so my billing and shipping addresses are never the same. However, I have not experienced that problem with trailer. Maybe because etailer understands most people don't use their RV at home so they don't always need parts at home. Go figure.
The Furrion is a good product. My old AC was putting out air at 51 degrees. The new Furrion is putting out air at 38 degrees. I don't hear much mechanical noise with the Furrion but the sound of the air flow is just as loud. This is due to ducting, not the unit. So don't expect a much quiteter AC system. Also, since you are using your old Coleman controller make sure you write down your old model and serial number incase your controller ever goes bad.
One final thing. My old AC units were Airxcell. I could not find any reference from Furrion if this unit replaces Airxcell. It does as Airxcell is part of Coleman. Therefore, I purchased one unit to ensure it would work and then bought the second one.



by:

This Furrion replacement A/C is still working very well. This unit replaced a Coleman unit. The Furrion A/C unit is much, much quieter running, both inside and outside than the Coleman. I am pleased with how fast that it chills and dehumidifies the air in the camper. I have a 26' Navion. Most of the time, it runs on low fan setting.
I installed this unit myself after having someone with a forklift move it to the roof. Installation and wiring was very simple and straightforward.
I thank William S at eTrailer for his wonderful support and helping me solve this frustrating problem!



by:

Aside from the very soft plastic cover the system does work well. Currently draws less than 14amps full on. The old Coleman Mach mounting frame did not work. However, the Mach 8 does fit (specifically the Coleman-Mach Lateral Ducted ChillGrille Ceiling Assembly 8430A6321). Highly recommend the ducted kit. Currently using the existing Coleman Control Boxes and Thermostats.



by:

It was easy to swap out and install, we have a forklift so we didn’t have to lift it up a ladder
The unit came quickly and was in great shape, however the junction box was no attached to the unit, so I had to grab a couple screws and attach it see pictures , the unit is running nice and quiet and dropping the temperature , so far so good! It would be nice if it had an owners manual or some type of directions shipped with it



by:

Working great so far, compared to the GE that came on my trailer.
The hardest part is getting it on the top of your trailer. It'll take two or three people for that part. Other than that, hook up was pretty straight forward.
I had watched the etrailer and a couple other YouTube videos before attempting it.



by:

Awesome, what a difference!!!! We replaced 2 coleman mach 15ks that were 2 years old and never stopped running in 90+ degree heat and humidity. As soon as I installed them and turned them on it was like night and day. Also one of the big differences was the Furrions were blowing colder than the Colemans and they pulled all the moisture out of our rig as they cooled it down. I would highly recommend these units, we are extremely happy with them.

Thanks! to etrailer for reminding me to do this review after a year. VERY few businesses do this, and they wouldn't have had to do this. This speaks volumes about etrailer. I bought this Furrion A/C to replace a very problematic defective Dometic unit which died just BARELY out of warranty. After multiple attempts to get Dometic to do the right thing and replace their defective unit, they chose to instead to drag their investigation on for weeks and then never even afforded me the common courtesy of a definitive answer to my request. Sadly, this same thing happened to several of us here in this RV park, and we all replaced these units with Furrions. In short, this Furrion air conditioner works like a champ, and with the help of our other smaller size bedroom A/C, will quickly cool this sizable rig down to meat locker temps, and that's an accomplishment here in Southwest Florida where we invented heat and humidity! Thus far, this has proven to be a MUCH better A/C unit than the Dometic. Colder, and a considerably more powerful fan system, and the technical advise and service from etrailer has been spot-on. After a year, I can comfortably say that if you're considering a new A/C unit for your rig, this is the one to get and etrailer's the place to get it. Don't be fooled by some of these internet sites that might be a few bucks cheaper. There's a big difference between price and value and this is hands-down the best value in RV A/C units. When I need another one, I'll come right back here to etrailer and get another one. I'd be loyal to them because they earned it...and that's a rare commodity these days!!
Stay cool !!

Shipped fast and safe.
Unit was easy
to install and works well. It is considerably louder than my Coleman Mach that I removed. Coleman conversion kit worked like a charm.



by:

I ordered on Tuesday and it showed up Thursday. It took me only 3 hours to install. That was by my self and I am 68 years old. The unit is a lot quieter than the Dometic I was replacing. It runs at 50 decibels sitting right under it. It is truly a plug and play. Remove one temp probe, one cannon plug, four bolts and you let gravity take the old unit off the roof. The hardest part was getting the new unit on the roof. Again E trailer has gotten me a good product quickly for a good price.



by:

It is a good unit and works well. It was very easy to replace existing unit with adapter cable and mounting hardware.



by:

Great turnaround time on delivery, quality products at a reasonable price! The furrion acs worked to replace 2 Coleman acs . Easy!!!

  • Replacement AC Recommendations for Carrier V on a Jayco Class C Motorhome
    To replace just the AC unit I recommend going with the Advent Air as the wiring will just be a plug and play installation: - 13.5K Btu # ACCAR135 - 15K Btu # ACCAR150 These will work with your current distribution panel so everything will fit the same. For a complete new AC system (including the distribution box) I recommend going with a Furrion Chill HE because the distribution box has a smaller 19-11/16" long x 19-11/16" wide profile: - 13.5K Btu # FR52PR - 15K Btu # FR92PR

  • Where Are RV Air Conditioner System Temperature Probes Located
    You're correct, and that is actually the case with all of the brands that we currently carry. The actual temperature probe is typically built into the controller # FR43PR (pictured below). If you want the system to get an accurate temperature reading you will need to run the fan to pull the hot air up to the probe.

  • Will Switching from a 13,500 BTU RV AC to a 15,000 BTU RV AC Be Quieter
    There's won't be much of a difference in decibels when switching air conditioner sizes but there is when switching brands. The quietest units we offer are from Furrion, the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System part # FR52PR for 13,500 BTU or part # FR92PR for 15,000 BTU. These units both run around 60 dB's inside and 80dB's outside. If you can let me know what brand of unit you have now, I'd be glad to see if we have a setup that will allow you to reuse any existing controls. For...

  • Parts Needed To Convert Manual Furrion AC Setup To Thermostatically Controlled

  • Replacement For A Dometic Duo-Therm 3104998 Controller
    If you're replacing the controller for your air conditioner system then you'd have to replace the whole distribution box as well because they wouldn't all mount the same and no two brands have been tested to fit together yet. The last time we talk I had recommended swapping out your old roof unit with the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner Unit # FR26PR so you would have the following two options for replacing the controller and air distribution box: Option 1: The Replacement...

  • Replacement Options For A Coleman Mach 833E7564 RV Air Conditioner
    If you're just wanting to replace the rooftop unit and keep the rest of your Coleman Mach equipment then you'll need Furrion part # FR82PV, which will come with a wire harness adapter for a plug-and-play installation. If you want to replace the entire setup then you'll just need part # FR52PR if you want the controls up on the air distribution box or part # FR95PV if you'd prefer a wall thermostat.

  • Installing An RV Air Conditioner System In A Converted Cube Van Camper
    The first step to installing any RV air conditioner systems on your cube van will be to reinforce the roof to hold the weight of the rooftop unit and to also increase the thickness of the roof to accommodate the rooftop unit and the air distribution box. The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box, Start Capacitor, and Heat Strip - 13,500 Btu # ACM135CH requires a roof thickness of 2-1/2" to 5" thick and the air distribution box is going to stick 2-1/2" down from the ceiling....

  • Switching from 30 Amp RV Power Panel to 50 in Featherlite
    The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4560K18LS8 is a 60 amp panel which would work great to provide your RV with twice as much power like you are needing. There isn't a 50 amp panel available but going to a 60 amp would just mean more power available. As far as AC units go for RVs the Furrion Chill units like the part # FR52PR blow really cold air and are very quiet as well.

  • Starting Amperage Of The Furrion Chill HE Air Conditioner System
    The Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR52PR can pull approximately 3,500 watts for a brief second during start up, which would be right at 29.67 amps.

  • Replacement AC Unit Recommendation for RV
    Hey Brian, for a replacement AC unit for your RV I would recommend the Furrion Chill Unit part # FR52PR as we have found that it is very quiet and blows the coldest air. This fits whether the RV has a ducting setup or not and comes with a manual control vent assembly.

  • Can An Advent Air RV Rooftop Air Conditioner Be Hardwired Into A Dometic RV Air Conditioner System
    Since your unit is hardwired you would have to cut the connector off of the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner # ACDOM135 in order to hardwire it into your system. Doing this will void your manufacturer warranty so I do not recommend it and instead recommend just replacing the system entirely with one like the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White # FR52PR or # FR95PV for wall mounted thermostat. If you don't care about the warranty and are will...

  • Can The Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner Run Off Of 15 Amp Service
    No, you would need 30 amp service in order to fully power the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR52PR. If you're boondocking then you'll pretty much be forced to use a generator like # 333-0005, unless you had an insanely large battery bank and high enough rated inverter.

  • Will A Soft Start Help To Run A Furrion 13.5K BTU AC Unit With A Honda 2200 Generator
    Yes, a Soft Start like part # SSR54FR will help to lower the amount of power consumption your Furrion AC requires on startup which will allow you to get by with a lower amperage power source like a Honda 2,200 watt generator.

  • Can Furrion RV Air Conditioner Be Used to Replace Carrier
    The Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White # FR52PR will work great to replace a Carrier RV Air Conditioner. There is no plug-in adapter which means you would not be able to use any old controls for the Carrier, but all the Furrion controls are on the distribution box so you're basically just hooking up power. It's a simple swap. If you're looking to use some existing controls, then you can use the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner part # ACCAR135...

  • How Do Furrion Chill HE AC Units Drain Built Up Condensation

  • Roof Opening Fit For Furrion Air Conditioner
    Yes, your Furrion AC, such as the # FR52PR in white, will fit a standard 14" x 14" roof opening. Any roof accessory that measures 14 1/4" x 14 1/4" will fit these openings because while they are commonly referred to as an industry standard square of 14" x 14", they're actually a little bit larger and that reference is shorthand.

  • Recommended Ductless Air Conditioner to Replace Fan
    We can get your Keystone Montana set up with an added air conditioner to replace your current fan. I really like the Furrion Chill systems as they tend to be quieter than others, and gives you really nice cooling via its air distribution box that has the controls directly on it. For a smaller AC, like you mentioned, there is a 13,500 Btu unit that will be perfect, and is the following part number: - Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR52PR

  • Will A Honda 2,000 Watt Generator Power the Furrion 13.5K Chill Rooftop RV Air Conditioner
    The Honda 2,000 Watt EU2200i Generator which I believe is what you have is rated for up to 18.3 amps and the Furrion Chill Rooftop RV Air Conditioner part # FR52PR only needs 14.6 amps for startup so they will work with one another. The required amps for the air conditioner will then drop down after startup so you are not running the generator at near 100% capacity

  • Can Furrion Chill AC Unit be Installed on 1-1/2 Thick Car Hauler Trailer Roof
    You do need to have 3" - 6" of roof cavity depth to properly install the Furrion AC units, but since your car trailer roof is only 1-1/2" thick all you need to do is frame out the section of the roof where the AC unit will sit with lumber that is at least 3/4" thick. I have attached some clips from the installation instructions for you to check out. So now you just have to decide if you want the 13.5K # FR52PR or the 15K # FR92PR. Obviously these are pretty comparable so I would just...

  • RV AC Unit Recommendation for 2006 Keystone Mountaineer
    The Furrion Chill HE AC units are what I recommend the highest because they blow the coldest and they are a lot quieter than other options. So for a ducted application like your 2006 Montana Mountaineer you would want the part # FR92PR for a 15k BTU unit or the part # FR52PR for a 13,500 BTU unit. Both of these come with distribution boxes as well. I would recommend the 15k unit based on the size of your RV unless you won't be in very warm climates.

  • Replacement AC For Old Coleman-Mach
    You can absolutely upgrade your air conditioner to a higher Btu unit from the 11,000 Btu Coleman-Mach AC you have now. I highly recommend going with a 13,500 Btu Furrion Chill HE because they have a low power draw (11.2 amps) similar to your current AC and a built-in start capacitor that stores power to jumpstart it so the AC is always on. You can choose from either white or black: - White: Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR52PR - Black: Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner...
