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.

Toasty heat strips
by: Robert12/05/2022
Was hoping this would produce at least a bit of heat. Installed and then tested it while temp outside was 30F. First it drew more than 15amps, had to start the generator in order to produce enough amps to keep it running. After 20 minutes no real heat, so kinda sad. However customer service here is great.
Wish it was better, but hay not always what you expect, but I tried.

I know that the heat strip gives off low level heat. Is it not working at all? When did it stop working for you?
by: James02/22/2024
Very fast delivery time. Excellent packaging to help prevent damage during shipment. Haven't installed parts yet but everything looks good.
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.

Can this be installed as a standalone unit?

I do have an option for you but the heat strip cannot be used as a standalone heater for your trailer. It will need to be plugged into an Advent AC unit (ACM135, ACM135B, ACM150, or ACM150B). If you have one of those units the heat strip will allow you to set your air distribution box to only blow warm air. It sounds like you need a standalone trailer heater like part # CAM57341.

Advent ac unit works extremely well. I have two that are installed in vintage camping trailers as replacements for the 1970s OEM units. They installed easily & function flawlessly. I would not hesitate to buy yet another if the occassion arises.

Unit arrived, albeit late. Fortunately it’s not a big deal because I don’t need this particular part of my order for a few more months (it’s still the peak of summer for me).
by: Jeffery06/24/2024
Service was great and friendly made my purchase easy.
by: Lewis10/20/2023
Very easy to install, just plug and play. I wish it were a bit quieter but all on all an improvement over the ac unit it replaced.

I have looked into your order and it looks like the airbox should have arrived to you by now. I would love to hear your updated feedback on that as well as this heat strip.
by: Vampran05/07/2023
A very good air conditioner with a very poor design and quality With a few modifications of my own it works very good now

New heater kit for new AC and was another exact replacement and easy install.

by: Tony 11/03/2023
Works great in an enclosed area like an RV riser area. Pretty easy to install with only a couple of tools.

Plug and play easy work
by: Ernest 04/28/2023
Great product. Install is easy. Took top cover off removed chamber cover. Installed heat strip with the 4 provided screws put covers back on. Went inside plugged in the provided plug turned it on works great. Whole thing Took 15 minutes.

Simple install!!!
by: Mike 10/28/2022
I installed two of these strips. Installation is incredibly simple. You can get this done in 30 minutes or less with just a screwdriver. The one I installed above the main cabin keeps the RV comfortable. My bedroom area is signicantly smaller and the unit that services it keeps it quite warm. I usually have to cycle the fan and heat option to keep the temperature where I like. The Advent heat strip is a good option. For reference, I am living full time in my RV.
by: Keith 09/04/2023
We had not bought all we needed the first time and the direction and support to fulfill what we needed was wonderful. your personal were a great help and friendly professional. they new what they were doing. Thank You!
by: Steve 01/10/2021
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

See what our Experts say about this Advent Air Accessories and Parts
- Complete AC System With An Advent 13.5K BTU Low Profile AC UnitHello Tim. We can definitely set you up with a complete AC system with an Advent low profile unit. We currently do not offer these parts as a package, but you can purchase all of the exact same components separately. To answer your question, yes, the same air handler will work with the low-profile unit. Here is what you will need for the complete AC system: - Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White # ADV79FR - Air Distribution Box w/ Built-In Thermostat for Advent...
view full answer... - Low Profile AC Unit Recommendation for 2018 Keystone CougarHey Steven, so we have the Dometic Penguin Ii High Capacity 15k btu RV AC unit part # DMC93ZR which has a heat pump built into it like you are wanting. You will also need the air box part # DMC43ZR. If you were looking for something a little easier on the ole wallet we have the Advent Air low profile unit part # ADV79FR as well. To add a heat strip you'd need the # ACMHD. You'll also need the Air Distribution Box w/ Built-In Thermostat for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACDB.
view full answer... - Does Advent Air RV Air Conditioner Require Additional Wiring When Replacing Dometic ACThe Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM150B will not require any additional wiring since you currently have a Dometic setup. The weight of the AC unit is 79 lbs. If you want to get this with a start capacitor the # ACDOM150B is also available. You also have the option to add a start capacitor # ACMSCKIT later as well as a heat strip # ACMHD.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Carrier 68RV14102A Air ConditionerHey Tom, thanks for reaching out! I recommend checking out the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ASA38YR which comes with a connector to plug in directly to your Carrier wiring. This doesn't work with an existing heat pump, but you can add the Heat Strip # ACMHD to make the air warmer in the winter.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A 13.5K GE RV AC UnitWe recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 to replace the GE 13.5K RV AC unit. The advent unit has the same 13.5K BTU rating. You will also need a new distribution box and/or thermostat. You can use # ACDB for manual control or the # ACRG15 which comes with a wall mounted thermostat. Advent sells their start capacitor # ACMSCKIT separately, and we do recommend picking up one of those as well. You also have the option of adding a heat strip # ACMHD.
view full answer... - Recommendations For Adding AC To A 14 X 8 Enclosed TrailerWe can definitely help set you up. For a 14' x 8' enclosed trailer, I believe a 13,500 BTU unit would be sufficient. I recommend the Advent Air # ACM135. Advent makes a solid AC unit, which will fit perfectly in the 14" hatch on the roof. Keep in mind the roof does need to be between 2-1/2" and 5" thick in order to install this unit. As far as your controls, you have two options. You can either use a manual distribution box # ACDB, which will put your controls on the ceiling right above...
view full answer... - Replacement Air Conditioner and Air Distribution Box for Dometic Duo Therm BriskairFor a replacement I recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Wall Thermostat # ADV94FR. This has everything you need, including a digital thermostat, for a complete replacement. The system has a 13,500 Btu capacity and comes with a 2-year warranty. If you would like an electric heat pump the # ACMHD can be added on. You also have the option of adding the start capacitor # ACMSCKIT for a power boost if enough power isn't available from your generator or campsite.
view full answer... - How To Make An Advent Air Heat Strip Work With An Advent Unit In A Dometic System If your Dometic controller doesn't have a port for the Advent Air Heat Strip # ACMHD to plug into then the only way to make it work would be to swap out the air distribution box/controller with either the manual control # ACDB or wall control # ACRG15. This would give you a compatible controller for the heat strip to plug into and would essentially fully swap you over from a Dometic system to an Advent Air system.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A Carrier Air V Model # 68RV15102A RV AC Unit At this time we no longer offer the Atwood line of AC units so the only available options would be from Furrion or Advent Air. If you're just wanting to replace the rooftop unit and maintain use of your air distribution box and thermostat controller then you can choose between the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner Unit # FR58PR (along with an adapter # ACCARKIT) or the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup # ACCAR150. Of the two I personally prefer...
view full answer... - Recommended Heating Option for Advent Air RV Air ConditionersThe heating option we offer for the Advent Air RV Air Conditioners like part # ACM135 is the Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners part # ACMHD. This won't put out heat like a furnace or heat pump would but it will still do a great job of removing the chill on cold or frosty mornings. It offers a plug-in play install and installs from the top under the cover for the overhead unit.
view full answer... - Replacement For Dometic Duo-Therm Quick Cool RV Air ConditionerHello Cherry. To replace your Dometic Duo-Therm Quick Cool AC Unit I recommend the Advent Air # ACM150. This is made to be directly compatible with your existing Dometic AC system. You'll just need to remove the cover to your air distribution box so that you can get to the mounting bolts and wiring. Aside from you can basically just swap out the rooftop portion and leave the rest of the AC system as-is. I do suggest that you pick up a Start Capacitor # ACMSCKIT. You also have the option...
view full answer... - Heat Strip For Advent Air ConditionersAs I see you were looking at the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR this will use the Heat Strip # ACMHD. We do have the Advent Package # ACM135CH which will contain the AC, heat strip, air distribution box and compressor. If you are looking for a heat strip for a different AC please let me know what make and model you have so I can verify the correct heat strip for you.
view full answer... - Replacement Air Conditioner for Horse Trailer Living QuartersSince you currently have a ducted system I recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu # ACM135. This will work with Dometic (Brisk I or Brisk II), Coleman Mach, or Carrier setups. If you currently have a Coleman with a 9-pin connector you will need adapter # ACCOLKIT and if you have a Carrier # ACCARKIT. If you wish to add a start capacitor # ACMSCKIT or heat strip # ACMHD they are available separately.
view full answer... - Replacement RV Air Conditioner For Duo Therm Unit 59516.531For an RV with a currently installed Dometic Duo-Therm 59516.531 AC unit, I recommend the Advent Air for Dometic Setups, # ACDOM150. This is a 15,000 Btu replacement option that plugs directly into your current Dometic setup and works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Dometic air distribution box and thermostat. The benefit of his option is that has an adapter wiring kit, which saves you time and effort. This does not have a heat option, but you can choose to add the...
view full answer... - Wattage Draw Of An Advent Air 15,000 BTU RV AC Unit And Heat StripThe Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Wall Thermostat - 15,000 Btu - White # ADV64FR has a starting wattage of 2,800 watts. Advent Air was unable to give me a running wattage but it's typically half of the starting wattage so you'd be looking at roughly 1,400 watts. As for the Heat Strip Electric # ACMHD, he didn't have a definitive answer but stated it was roughly 6-12 watts.
view full answer... - Replacement for Carrier Air V RV Air ConditionerThe Carrier Air V RV Air Conditioner is no longer produced so a direct replacement of the same unit is not an option. However, we do have available the two Advent AC models that are designed as replacement units for the Carrier Air V. I recommend using the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup, # ACCAR150 for 13,500 Btu's or # ACCAR135 for 15,000 Btu's. These options do not have a heat pump integrated into them. If however you decide later that you prefer, you can...
view full answer... - Replacement AC Unit for a Dometic B57915.711C0Thanks for all the detailed information! For a 15,000 BTU AC Unit to replace your Dometic B57915.711C0, you will want the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup item # ACDOM150B in black or item # ACDOM150 in white. These are 15,000 BTU air conditioners. They come with a start capacitor to help boost the power to ensure your AC gets up and running when you need. They do not come with a heat strip but you can add that easily with the Electric Heat Strip for Advent...

- Replacement For Dometic 59136.621 Air Conditioner With Heat PumpThere is indeed a good option to replace your current Dometic 59136.621 air conditioner, which is a 15,000 Btu AC. The best option is one from Advent Air: - Advent Air RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup w/ Start Capacitor - Black # ACDOM150B or White # ACDOM150 This is also a 15,000 Btu air conditioner, and it comes with a start capacitor to help boost the power to ensure your AC gets up and running when you need. They do not come with a heat strip but you can add that easily with the...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A Coleman Mach 15,000 BTU RV AC SystemIf you're wanting to completely replace your Coleman AC system in your Sprinter then I recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box, Start Capacitor, and Heat Strip # ACM150CH, or # ACM150BCH for black. This system comes with a heat strip to help warm up your camper, but I will say that add-ons like this heat strip or even a heat pump for that matter are more designed to take the chill off and not actually heat your camper like a furnace would. The included start...
view full answer... - Replacing A Dometic Duo Therm 3107541.009 In A 2004 Keystone Cougar Fifth WheelI can certainly point you in the right direction. The Dometic Duo Therm 3107541.009 is a model that we see fairly frequently. Now I do not have literature on your specific camper that will tell me if it is ducted or ductless, but the Advent units we offer are compatible with both setups. I recommend for you the Advent Air # ACDOM150. This is made to be compatible with your current Dometic setup, so you will not have to change out anything inside the camper. You will be able to use your...
view full answer... - Replacement RV Air Conditioner For Duo-Therm Unit 59561.501To replace your Dometic Duo-Therm 59561.501 AC unit, I recommend the Advent Air for Dometic Setups item # ACDOM150. This is a 15,000 Btu replacement option that plugs directly into your current Dometic setup and works seamlessly with your existing Dometic air distribution box and thermostat. The best part about the Advent Air is that has an adapter wiring kit, which saves you time and effort during installation. This system does not have a heat option, but you can add the Electric Heat...
view full answer... - Is There A Heating Element Available For An Advent Air AC Unit And How Hard Is The Installation To install the heat strip # ACMHD you would need to replace the entire system with all Advent Air equipment in order for it to work. With the # ACCAR135 being just a replacement rooftop unit it wouldn't be able to communicate with the heat strip and function properly. Replacing your Carrier Air unit is going to be fairly easy, but you'll want a few extra hands to help move the units around and you won't want to drag them across the roof of your RV. You'll start by removing the cover of...
view full answer... - Is There A Heat Strip Available For An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System Yes, you're looking for the Advent Air Heat Strip # ACMHD to go along with your # ACM150. This system requires a 14-1/4" long x 14-1/4" wide roof opening, which is pretty typical for all RV air conditioner systems. I highly recommend getting the start capacitor # ACMSCKIT as well to cut down on the power surge every time your unit starts up.
view full answer... - Replacement for Carrier AC on 2009 MonacoHi Dave; the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM150 will be compatible with your Carrier setup using the # ACCARKIT. The adapter wiring kit makes it a plug and play installation. The only exception is if the control box of your Carrier AC is built into the AC unit. If you want to add a start capacitor # ACMSCKIT or heat strip # ACMHD they are available separately.

Still working fine, not as much heat as I was hoping however it helps in not having to use propane as much.
