Furrion RV air conditioners fit a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" cutout and are available for ducted or ductless setups. Options include 18,000 Btu units and a heat pump for added comfort. New R32 systems aren't backwards compatible with R-410A parts; when replacing a Dometic/Airxcell unit, plan to swap the air distribution box or install a complete system.
The Furrion Chill Cube air distribution box has a vent you can open and close. When it is closed it forces more of the air through the ducted system. Check that your RV is ducted and choose a ducted configuration; if you use a furnace, include the compatible thermostat or plan to run the furnace from your existing wall thermostat.
Mechanical noise can be minimal, but the sound of the air flow can be just as loud due to ducting. Don't expect a much quieter AC system if the ductwork is the noise source. If airflow noise is a concern, inspect duct design and registers for restrictions that can amplify sound.
Yes, Furrion offers a Chill Cube with a heat pump. You'll need a complete system since new R32 units aren't backwards compatible with old R410A systems. The wall thermostat is only necessary if you want it to run your furnace; the remote handles other functions. You can also use your existing wall thermostat to run a furnace independently.
Installation is reported as easy. The unit is close to 80 lbs, so having help is advised to get it on the roof. Torque the retaining bolts to 40 inch pounds. Instructions were good enough and the acronyms and abbreviations weren't too hard to figure out. If you're concerned about stripping threads, apply torque carefully and stop if resistance feels off.
Yes, Furrion fits a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" cutout, which is pretty standard. To swap out a Dometic AC, you'll need to change the air distribution box because anything made before 2025 isn't compatible with the new R32 refrigerant. Airxcel is part of Coleman, so a Furrion unit replaces those as well. If you have a furnace, plan for the thermostat needed to control it.
