Specs:
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
All went well.
Excellent company and product! Thanks!
Works as good as expected I’m satisfied with it
Shipping time awesome. Have not installed yet but will update then.
Order arrived sooner than expected
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
Arrived soon then the expected date. heater worked perfectly
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.
Unit is good design. I'll install it in this coming Sping.
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!
Very happy with this company they have everything I need and delivery is fast very happy and will continue doing business with them
Does not work. Produces no heat
Not as much as I expected, but, it does put out a reasonable amount of heat!
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.
Just got it and can't wait to install it later today to see how it works.
Works like a charm. Slight pain to install, but not too bad. Great to keep the trailer comfortable all night.
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
The heat strip works well. I would like more temperature control. But it certainly warms the living quarters of my trailer.
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.
