Look for models in black that fit a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" cutout and match your ducted or ductless system. For ducted setups, an air distribution box with a closeable vent helps push more air through the ducts. New R32 systems aren't backward compatible with older R410A components, so plan on the correct air distribution box and a thermostat if you want to run a furnace.
Yes, it's doable for a DIYer. The unit can be close to 80 lbs, so having help is advised for getting it on the roof. Follow the instructions and use 40 inch pounds of torque on the retaining bolts if called for. Plan a few hours and take your time with wiring; some have wanted more documentation on how to install and wire the system.
Use five thermostat wires. A/C wires Purple and blue connect to thermostat wires that go to A and B on the thermostat; A/C Red and Green do not get used. Add two thermostat wires to RV 12v+ and 12v- for the 12v+ and ground slots. Connect the furnace wire to a thermostat wire for the furnace slot; the ground slot next to the furnace slot remains empty.
It uses an air distribution box with a vent you can open and close. When closed it forces more of the air through the ducted system. Check that your system is ducted and that the box you choose includes the closeable vent feature you want.
Yes, a Black option with a heat pump is available. You will 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 use your existing wall thermostat to run a furnace independently.
Yes, a Black RV air conditioner can fit a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" cutout, which is pretty standard on RV's. To swap out a Dometic made before 2025, plan to change the air distribution box due to the new R32 refrigerant. Airxcell is part of Coleman, so it replaces Airxcell as well. If keeping an old Coleman controller, note your old model and serial number.
