Your rooftop AC gave out, and you want cooling without dealing with ducts. This 18,000 Btu Chill Cube with 17,000 Btu heat pump pairs with a ductless air box for direct airflow, steady temps, and control right from the space you're in.
When your rooftop AC quits, a replacement jumps to the top of your shopping list. But not every unit can manage cabin temperature without relying on duct runs. This unit is rated for 18,000 BTU cooling and uses a variable-speed compressor instead of running fully on or fully off. That steadier operation cuts down on short cycling and keeps temperature swings from getting wild during long cooling stretches, so the cabin reaches set temperature faster and holds it through long, hot nights.
Separate systems give you more equipment to manage than most people want to deal with. This unit pairs 18,000 BTU cooling with a 17,000 BTU integrated heat pump in one rooftop assembly, so you can cool the cabin in the afternoon and take the edge off a cold morning without dragging out another system. It is a practical fit for three-season travel when the weather cannot make up its mind.
Limited power turns a rooftop swap into a problem fast if the running load is higher than expected. This unit runs on 115V, 60Hz, with 1,480 watts of cooling power consumption, 15.8 amps cooling current draw, and 11.9 amps heating current draw. Those numbers give you something concrete to match against your available power, so you can check your setup before the unit is on the roof and wired in.
Sticky cabin air can still feel miserable even after the temperature drops. This unit pulls 1.8 pints of moisture per hour while it runs, which matters when humidity hangs in the interior and the air feels clammy. You end up with a cabin that feels drier during cooling instead of cold and damp.
Piecing together a ductless AC system one component at a time can turn a replacement into more work than expected, especially with newer R32 systems that are not backwards compatible with older setups. This kit includes the LC44DX ductless air distribution box, giving you the ceiling assembly designed to work with this Chill Cube from the start.
The low-profile air box uses an oscillating vent to move air across the cabin more evenly than a fixed outlet. The remote and keypad let you adjust fan speed and mode, and the Follow Me function reads temperature from the remotes location in your RV instead of relying only on the ceiling unit. That gives you a matched setup with direct airflow, flexible control, and one less compatibility headache during installation.
