Specs:
This AC unit from Advent Air is designed to replace the old or broken Carrier air conditioner on your RV or camper. The included adapter wiring kit ensures that the AC works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Carrier air distribution box and thermostat. 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. The included start capacitor will help jumpstart the AC. This beneficial upgrade provides the AC a boost when shore power or generator power isn't enough to start it. And everything you need in order to replace your AC unit is included, which makes installation simple and easy.
If your campsite or generator isn't able to draw the power you need, then you may have difficulty starting your AC unit. The included start capacitor, however, can eliminate this problem. The capacitor stores energy that will later be used to jumpstart the AC. Once the sufficient amount of power has been supplied to the AC, the compressor will start to run, and the internal relay switch will turn the start capacitor off. At the same time, the compressor will send "back voltage" to the relay switch and capacitor in order to energize them for the next startup.
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 required during installation.
To install the start capacitor, bolt it to the fan motor support with the included hardware and then route the wires to the run capacitor.
Once installed, the hard plastic cover on the AC can easily be removed for maintenance and cleaning.

This AC unit replaces the Carrier air conditioner on your RV or camper. Included adapter wiring kit enables the AC to work with your existing Carrier setup. The start capacitor jumpstarts the AC when camp power or generator power isn't enough.AIR CONDITIONER ARRIVED IN 3-4 DAYS AS EXPECTED. PACKAGE LOOKED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. UPS DIDN'T COPY MY NAME OVER TO THE SHIPPING ADDRESS, ONLY THE LOT #. HAD A RV REPAIR PERSON THAT DOES WORK IN THE CAMPGROUND INSTALL IT FOR ME. WE USED A LADDER AND ROPE TO SLIDE IT UP TO THE ROOF OF OUR 2003 CARRIAGE CAMEO 5TH WHEEL. ONE PERSON PUSHING IT UP AND ONE PULLING. IT WORKED VERY WELL. THE NEW ONE BOLTED DOWN AND HOOKED UP JUST LIKE IT SAID IN THE DIRECTIONS. TOOK A LITTLE BIT TO HOOK UP THE ADAPTER CABLES AND INSTALL THE EXTRA CAPCITOR FOR WE WERE REPLACING A CARRIER AIR V MODEL, BUT NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. TOOK A TOTAL OF ABOUT TWO HOURS FOR TOTAL PROJECT. COULD HAVE DONE IT MYSELF IF I WASN'T HAVING A BACK PROBLEM. SEEMS TO RUN FINE EXCEPT FOR I WISH THE BLOWER WOULDN'T RUN ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHEN THE COMPRESSOR ISN'T RUNNING. MY OLD CARRIER DID THE SAME THING. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THERE IS A WAY TO CHANGE THAT OR NOT. I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PICTURES WHILE INSTALLING IT BUT WILL TRY AND TAKE A PICTURE OF THE NEW ONE INSTALLED.

It did great for about 3 months, then without warning, it quit coming. The fan kept going. So I turned it off. I called your company and I was told I’d have to get ahold of the manufacturer. I just tried to turn it back on a/c, it started cooling again. For how long? I have no idea.
Bought this air conditioner to replace my aged roof top air conditioner on my park model camper. Installation was easy...”just plug and play.” The best feature is it functions with the old air conditioner’s remote avoiding the need to hardwire a thermostat.
We have Carrier AC in our 5th wheel. They no longer make AC units for RV’s. Was very happy to have found Advent. It was an easy fix. Only took our tech not even an hour to replace our old unit with new unit. Only needed the roof piece. Connected easily. We are very happy with it.
You people are great was to have received my a/c in June, but got it 3 days ago. Weathers been to bad to inst. Thanks
Received Advent Air Replacement Rooftop RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup 15,000 Btu White- ACCAR150 in excellent condition by UPS. Replaced one of my old Carrier Air V air conditioners on my 32' Damon Daybreak motor home. It was easy to install and the conversion kit that came with it worked very well. Quiet even when running on high speed. Used the same remote and ceiling mount I had with my Carrier Air Conditioner.
Thanks to e trailer my installation was a direct replacement of my existing ac, making it easy as possible!
Awesome service. Delivered on time. Had to fill in Gap at transition between the return and call to l air output. Everything else worked perfectly. Thanks etrailer

Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
Approximately one year ago during one of the hottest days of the year our roof top hvac unit in our 31ft motor coach bit the dust. Note; The unit was original so it didn't owe us anything. After doing some research online and reading many reviews I elected to order my replacement from etrailer.com mainly because they appeared to be a professional company that knows how to treat a customer. In addition I did have a few questions after I installed it and a technician was very helpful to clarify a few things. I also ordered the back up heat strips later and installed them as well. We used the unit over the summer of 2020 as well as the cold winter period and It seems to provide adequate cooling and heating. I would recommend using this company (etrailer) as well as the 13,500 BTU Advent RV Air Conditioner. We're happy campers..!

Great value and works very efficiently on our camper.
Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
we installed the AC unit yesterday and it is working good on low speed but won't run on high fan. Im not sure if it is the fault of the unit or something in the wiring or the printed circuit board. The unit we replaced got to the point that it wouldn't run on high either. Getting the unit on top of the camper was easy once we viewed a video of how it was done, and we got the old unit down with no problem using the rope and ladder.
Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
Now that I have installed it. Well designed product. Start capacitor modification took about 10 minutes. Trans=locating the old control box took longer than expected as the trailer control wires and romex power cable were not long enough. Mounting it lower in the evaporator housing worked. The long (4 ea) through the roof mounting bolts are spaced farther apart than Coleman's configuration and take up the whole roof-top opening. Everything is working in all modes.
Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
Air conditioner works very well. Have owned the unit for over one year. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there’s has been a few times where the unit stopped working and we have had to turn it off and back on to get it restarted. Other than that it has worked very well.

Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
2/9/2021. Prior to delivery, I received an email from etrailer recommending that upon delivery open and inspect the contents. I am pleased to say that the a/c was packaged securely and appears to be in excellent condition. As we have freezing temps here for several days, it will be a while before I can install the unit. The test will be at installation time.
Review from a similar Advent Air AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
Was a direct replacement for the dometic 13,500 unit that went out. I would highly recommend upgrading to the 15,000 BTU
