How It Works
Paired with your AC unit (sold separately), this electric heat strip keeps your RV warm on a cold or frosty morning. It is operated with the control dial on the air distribution box (sold separately). After you turn the dial to the heat setting, the compressor will shut off, and the fan will blow air over the heater and into your RV. When the optimal temperature has been reached, turn the dial to a fan or cooling setting. Please also note that the heat strip only has one temperature setting and cannot be controlled by the thermostat.
Simple Installation
To install, mount the heat strip to the evaporator inside the AC unit with the included mounting screws. The heat strip has easy, plug-and-play installation with the supplied 30" power cord.

I received the order a week early. Only issue is that the frame was damaged in shipment but was isolated to the frame and no other damage. Installation was straight forward. Installed on 7x14 trailer. Hardest part was removing vent opening sealant from the roof. Ran fine on initial start-up. Will test with heat load today.

Got my a/c unit last week and it looked and operated so good I turned around and ordered the heat element and it was so easy to install and works flawlessly. I'm very pleased with doing business with you.
by: Charles04/04/2022
I received the heater unit & promptly installed it. Being a competent mechanical type, I found the installation to be straightforward but a bit painful. On the left side (w/elect terminals) was a slot in the protective metal screening for the purpose of using a screwdriver to install the 2 short screws. Difficulty came when trying to weave the screwdriver through terminal ends and wires while trying to guide the screw into the bracket slots.
On the opposite end, there were no electrical terminals, but neither was there a slot in the screening. This required a small diameter Phillips screwdriver to get through the metal screening. In my case it took way longer than one would anticipate to install 4 small screws. It was all good in the end & I am pleased with the product, how it is integrated into the a/c unit and how it functions.
It may be worth mentioning in the video & written instruction, that the HEAT position on the air distribution box also provides power to the fan for heat circulation. I did not see or hear that mentioned anywhere and caused me to question it. By trial, I discovered it's functionality.

I've been dealing with etrailer for quite a bit of supplies lately as I'm building a cargo trailer/camper conversion. This item, along with everything else I've purchased has been great quality. No complaints here!

winter will tell the tale but great service and quick delivery
by: Robert10/26/2021
NO SCREWS/BOLTS WERE GIVEN OR DIRECTIONS. Directions I can do without but the screws should be included. The part has big holes for the screws/bolts but the frame has little tiny holes. Big hassle.

Customer Service will contact you regarding the missing hardware. Here is an installation video to use as a guide for installing your heat strip once you receive your hardware:

All went well.

Excellent company and product! Thanks!

It has been great. I can heat my trailer with it when hooked to power and save my propane. It is enough to keep it about 70 inside by its self.

I installed the heat strip in my Advent air conditioner and it worked great, instructions were very good and it worked well, nice and warm. We had just installed the ac unit in a pop up camper and it was great, does not drip water on roof. Very happy. Steve

The heat strip worked perfectly during the winter. Kept the rv warm.
Seth - 11/15/2021by: Eugene 07/06/2021
Easy install. Will not be able to test until temp drops as it uses ambient air temp to activate per asa electronics. Currently too hot!! Timely delivery.
by: Tim D01/20/2022
Unit is good design. I'll install it in this coming Sping.
by: David11/26/2019
I just installed the heat strip and it was simple. My original thought was to purchase this from a well known department store who cancelled the order. I then tried Amaz.... but their price was crazy. A call to the manufacturer directed me to etrailer! Pricing was very competitive in fact budget shipping beat everyone so I placed the order! I couldn’t believe how quick I received it. etrailer is on my speed dial now!
by: Daniel 08/18/2021
Very happy with this company they have everything I need and delivery is fast very happy and will continue doing business with them

Not as much as I expected, but, it does put out a reasonable amount of heat!
by: Joseph 03/31/2020
I purchased this heat strip for the Advent AC135 rv rooftop air conditioner. The ACHD is the heat strip that is recommended for my unit but has been discontinued. The electrical specs for the ACHD and the ACMHD are the same, as is the width and height. I was able to match the curbside holes on the evaporator with the heat strip flange precisely. I mounted the heat strip and used the roadside heat-strip flange as a guide to drill two holes for a solid mount. Pretty simple after I clipped away a small portion of the cage that surrounds the heat strip. Plugged it in and, voila, heat. Works great. Sorry, no pics. And I don’t want to remove the shroud again if I don’t have to, as putting that back on was the hardest part of the job.
by: Mearl S11/11/2021
Just got it and can't wait to install it later today to see how it works.
by: Pr11/14/2019
Works like a charm. Slight pain to install, but not too bad. Great to keep the trailer comfortable all night.
by: Tom06/27/2020
Added as a second unit to a 33' Crossroads. Works great. Easy straight forward install. Using the ACRG 15 air distribution box with thermostat. All the wires are labeled from the factory so installation was a snap. Added the ACMHD heat strip also but it's 85 degrees and a little hard to test that out just yet. The crew at etrailer were great at helping me get everything picked out that I needed. Shipping was fast. If there was such a thing as a 10 star rating, they deserve it
by: Claire P11/08/2020
The heat strip works well. I would like more temperature control. But it certainly warms the living quarters of my trailer.
by: Joey06/06/2020
Seems like a great product so far. Installation was simple and it cools a 8.5x28’ trailer easy.
One note: you must have 120v and 12v supply for this AC to work. I did not know that and had to go through some extra trouble of running 12 V power source.

- Which Electric Heat Strip Will Work With My Advent Air AC Unit ACM150?The Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMHD works with your Advent Air AC unit ACM150, also model number ACM135, ACM135B, ACM150B and the Advent Air air distribution box ACDB. The AC150HP model number you have is the same as the ACM150 model number. So, this is your model AC unit and the heat strip will fit.
view full answer... - Will the Advent Air Electric Heat Strip Work with a Wall Mounted ThermostatYes, the Advent Air Electric Heat Strip part # ACMHD will work with the wall mounted thermostat on your ducted Advent Air 13.5K Air Conditioner. You would just have to first adjust the dip switch on the thermostat itself. I am sure you are aware but there is a red "OPT. HEAT" slot on the fan control knob which will allow you to control the heat on the standalone unit. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. I have sent you some additional documents on adjusting the thermostat...

view full answer... - Advent AC and Heat Pump Recommendation for Replacing Dometic AC Unit on RVGoing with the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup # ACDOM150 that you referenced is your best option. This will also be your easiest install too since it was designed to plug right into your Dometic wiring and allow your current controls/thermostats to function the same as what you are used to. To add a heat strip though you will also need the part # ACMHD and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Adjusting A Dometic Thermostat To Control An Advent Air Heat StripTo get your Advent heat strip Item # ACMHD to work on your Dometic Duo thermostat you'll need to remove the cover and set the three dip switches to Up - Down - Down. Your old setup was for a heat pump instead of a heat strip so that's why your strip wasn't showing up on your thermostat.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Frozen Evaporator Coils On A New Advent Air Rooftop AC UnitNormally if an Advent AC unit like the # ACDOM150 freezes over it means the filter is dirty or the air louvers are being blocked. Remove the power and let the evaporator coils thaw and then check the filter and make sure the louvers are properly positioned so that cold air isn't being blown back up into the unit and causing the freeze up. Since it's a new unit it could be a factory defect and wasn't properly filled with refrigerant. There are ports on these units that allow condensation...
