Specs:
The air conditioner has two fans, each with their own motor, to help move cool air faster and more efficiently inside your RV on a hot and muggy day. It also has a built-in start capacitor that uses stored energy to give an extra boost of power to help jump-start your unit when a campsite or generator doesn't provide enough power. Integrated rubber dampeners on the compressor reduce vibration and allow your AC unit to run quietly.

Start capacitor offers an extra boost of power to jump-start your AC.etrailer is the Chik-A-fila of customer service for online purchases. I cannot say enough about their service and friendliness.
The Furrion 15,500 BTU AC works like a dream!! Cools my 38' 5th wheel very well in 80° It is impressively quiet and with the 3 fan modes, you can sleep like a baby. I installed it myself converting it from an old Dometic Duo Therm. I had to replace the air distribution box and thermostat.
The only reason it got four stars is because the cover came busted and a junction box had come loose and wedged into the fan blades. The cover was cracked and held on by only 3 screws since the rest of the tabs were broken. It is made in China so I'm sure it's not etrailer's fault. And the junction box ( provided picture of the unit) in the main roof unit came loose from it's four screws and wedged itself against the fan blade. It kept the blade from spinning and the sound coming from the unit sounded like a giant refrigerator the size of a tractor trail parked right out side the RV. Extremely loud!! After climbing up there and removing the cover I noticed and fixed the issue. Fortunalty it didn't damage my unit.
etrailer did send me a new cover at no cost as soon as they had it back in stock. All in all, I would def recommend, just watch out for loose or broken parts. And notify etrailer as soon as possible. They will go the extra mile to help you fix any issues.
The customer service at etrailer was exceptional. The Furion A/C has performed as well as advertised. Happy customer for sure.
Raymond - 10/22/2022I received this unit damaged. The box is not strong enough for the weight and size of the unit as others have indicated in other reviews. It also is not marked fragile or to keep one side up which would help prevent damage. I figured it was worth the risk due to high customer service reviews. After I shared photos of the damage, I assumed etrailer was sending me a replacement unit. Instead, they sent me a replacement part to repair it myself. I did attempt to do this but found internal damage in the process. etrailer has been attentive to this point, but now it’s getting to be a bit of a process. Hopefully, we come to a quick resolution! I would love to update with a nice resolution, and maybe etrailer will beef up the packaging for others in the future so this does not happen anymore!
Amazing air conditioner and easy install. The fasteners that hold the case together could be designed a bit better, but otherwise very happy
Andrew - 07/09/2022Normal install, same as any RV. Quality is good. Not as quiet as I had hoped, but not bad. No issues in this first year. Cooling ability is fantastic and the optional lighted trim is cool.
Easy to install using dometic controls. Much better cooling than dometic.
Clifford - 06/30/2022Order showed up early great communication thx.
Replaced a 12.5k dometic unit that wasn't cutting it in a 30' trailer. It definitely puts out more cold air - cools the trailer faster. After 10,000 miles on the road and multiple trips it's still working great. I do have my doubts about the longevity of the plastic construction but I guess RVs don't live forever either. I like that I was able to use a standard battery operated household thermostat. The Furrion thermostats were hard to get at the time in 2020. This year I randomly found myself parked next door to Furrion's US headquarters in Indiana.
A/C works great, received it fairly quick for it being in the heart of covid. When I got the unit the box was pretty beat up and of course the cover for the unit was to. I contacted etrailer and the shipped a new one. Thanks for the quick service and great products.
Produces cold air like it should.
Just received my first order through etrailer.com an RV AC. Everything showed up in great shape, no shipping damage. It was great dealing with Bryan W he was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. I will definitely be ordering through etrailer again
Unit was easy to install and hardware kit was had everything needed for the install. Unit is much quieter, more air flow and much colder air than my 5 yr old dometic 15,500 unit
It freezes up within an hour every time.. Reached out to support and they aren't very helpful. I would steer away until this is production ready I have read countless other people with the same issue
Clayton O - 07/22/2021It has worked for us so far after a year of use. We did have it freeze up on us and we had to run just the fan without the A/C running to unfreeze pipes.
Well if you are replacing a different kind if ac order the whole kit at the same time but other than ups banged up the ac but etrailer is replacing the cover its great
Review from a similar Chill AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
The cover was busted up pretty bad. I installed the unit anyway and etrailer was out of replacement covers but offered to send a whole new unit. Once installed the unit had so much vibration in it and was so loud it made the whole rv shake. I returned it with minimum issues. Make sure you keep your box. It cost me 35 dollars for a box. I will say if the unit hadn't had the vibration issue I would have kept it. The air it supplied was hard and very cold. It blew much faster and colder than the 15000 btu advent that replaced it.
Review from a similar Chill AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
The pro - works very good at cooling. Integrates with the heater so there is only one controller. Very quiet compared to my last A/C. We got the model that has the LED lights and they are kinda fun. We use the red as a night light.
The con - the temp sensor is located in the main unit, not the thermostat controller, which can lead to wide temperature swings, so we tend to leave the fan on to mitigate this. In our small (20' TT) this can also lead to short cycling when it is very hot outside. If you don't have the main unit fan on while the heater is running, it can get very hot inside as the heat doesn't make it to the sensor.
Possible con - the unit inside sticks out much more than the unit that it replaced (around and inch) which interferred with a cabinet door. We had to trim the door to make it work.
Review from a similar Chill AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
This ac unit poor performance and lack of support from the manufacturer have us wishing we had never purchased it. It arrived with a damaged top cover which etrailer replaced months later. The shipping box also showed evidence of very rough handling and upon opening, lack of shipping protection. That was just the start of our problems. The unit was installed and although it does somewhat, it short cycles and makes a terrible loud vibration. It has never been able to cool below 72. We contacted Furrion and they were less than helpful. They emailed me with instructions and what to look for and do to fix their brand new unit. We looked for the obvious things but honestly, why should I have to fix anything that is brand new and guaranteed? It is not my job. I bought and paid for a fully functional AC unit based upon their advertising and it horrible. I am going to try and talk to a human being about getting this unit replaced. Hopefully with their purchase by Lippert, a great company, BTW, we will get this thing rectified. Camping season is here and it is hot here in the south east. We need our AC to work like our existing Coleman Mach 15 does. We also feel that because the vibration is so strong and loud, that the actual chassis of the ac unit is somehow out of alignment and contributing to the issues. The solution is to replace it with a new one and for Furrion to also pay for the ac installer who was paid the first time to install it.
Jenny N - 04/27/2022Review from a similar Chill AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
I received the replacement covers and they are intact. The units themselves work fine and they made it from California to Texas and back with the original broken covers and some duct tape. I probably would have given a five star rating (the customer service itself was great) but I still have to get up on top of the RV to remove and replace the covers, a definite hassle. Furrion and etrailer would be well served if the original unit packaging was improved.
Review from a similar Chill AC Unit in RV Air Conditioners
Very fast shipping. Tracking feature worked great. My forest river EVO is only about 2 years old. The dometic unit did not work well from day one. Tye compressor locked up on it. Im a cornwell tool dealer. The coach places i go to said Furion was the way to go. I installed myself. Was easy. About 30 minutes. The capacitor box was not bolted down. And i did not want it flopping around. So i removed the top and bolted it down. The unit works perfect. Blows the old unit away. 106 in az and it leveled out at 58 out the vent. Im so happy to finally have a good unit on my trailer. I will be usei g e trailer from now on. And Furion is the way to go!
