6-Pin Connector

This Advent Air AC unit lets you replace an old or broken air conditioner on your RV or camper. It has a 6-pin connector for easy plug-and-play installation and it works with your existing Advent Air or Dometic air distribution box. The AC has a powerful fan and motor that provides a steady stream of air to efficiently cool the inside of your RV on a hot or muggy day. And everything you need in order to replace or add an AC unit is included, which makes installation easy.


Simple Installation

Advent Air AC Installation 15,000 BTU

Because your RV is likely already prepped and pre-wired for an AC unit, installation is simple. Most AC units are designed to fit an opening that measures 14-1/4" x 14-1/4". Depending on your roof setup, you may need to do minimal alterations. If the opening is larger than 14-3/8" x 14-3/8", you will need to install spacers between the sides of the unit and the opening's edges. If the opening is smaller than 14-1/8" x 14-1/8", you will need to enlarge the hole to fit the unit snugly inside the opening.


Advent Air AC Collapsible Gasket and Foam Pads

On the bottom of the AC, there's a thick, collapsible gasket with 6 noise-reducing foam pads. This provides support between the RV roof and AC and seals the opening to prevent water and outside air from leaking in. Because of this, the use of fresh sealant isn't needed. Once installed, the hard plastic cover on the AC can easily be removed for maintenance and cleaning.


And in order to fully complete installation, this AC needs to be paired with your existing Advent Air or Dometic air distribution box and thermostat.


Additional Accessories

Additional accessories can be purchased separately to improve the performance of your Advent Air AC unit. The start capacitor (ACMSCKIT) improves the performance of your AC by using stored energy to jumpstart it. And the electric heat strip (ACMHD) removes the chill on cold or frosty mornings in your RV, ensuring you stay comfortable. Please note that the heat strip will only work on Advent Air AC units.


Advent Air Warranty Coverage

2-Year limited warranty covers defective units when installed correctly on approved applications. The warranty does not cover units installed incorrectly. To ensure air conditioner is installed correctly, please see the questionnaire pdf below. A filled-out questionnaire is required for warranty coverage.


If you are not comfortable using a voltmeter (or removing the charge from the start capacitor), you'll want to make a service appointment with your local RV dealer to verify the installation. Print the pdfs below (warranty- questionnaire, warranty dealer information) and take them along with the RV to your local dealer. ASA does compensate dealers for warranty work as outlined in the dealer information pdf. You may be charged by the dealer for time spent investigating the installation.

Ordered a different unit, noticed the next morning that shipping had changed and unit was not gong to ship for another two months! I called the help line, the gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and found me this unit that would work and was in stock. Unit arrived a few days later, however the side was dented and the cover is broken. It is summer and we have camping plans this weekend so I installed unit anyhow, everything is working as designed, it cools my RV nicely and is much quieter than the original unit. Cover is still cracked, hoping to find who to call/email about getting a replacement shipped to me?

I am sorry about your experience. Let me get a replacement sent out right away.



by:

Item arrived damaged by UPS. I contacted etrailer & they are sending a replacement. Very good customer service. As you can looks like the unit was thrown around during shipping.



by:

This item did not arrive today. I ordered a package deal with the rv AC and the distribution ent with thermostat. Today I received the distribution vent with the thermostat. Why sell as a complete set with the item doesn’t ship together. On item came from Missouri and the other is coming from Utah. Installation was set for tomorrow but that is not going to happen. Funny thing is while ordering it stated it was in stock and would be arriving today. Just missing my AC unit. Not the best service from etrailer.



by:

I don't know about longevity however I replaced 2 Dometic Brisk 2 systems on a camper I bought that needed a little more than tlc. It is a 2 zone Dometic system and these plugged right up. Only had them in a for a few days but they work great! Very pleased. I am hoping they last. Shipping was FAST and Etrailer kept me up to date on status. They were also very helpful with questions I had to make sure they would work with my system. I think these are actually quieter than the Dometics I replaced. Not hard to install, in fact the hardest part was getting them on the roof.



by:

The A/C seem to be a good value and the customer service from Britney was great. It was not clear to me that this unit didn't include all of the inside the camper components and thermostat as shown in the installation video.



by:

Much more compact and lighter than original unit and came when anticipated. This unit Beatrice made sure the crossover from Coleman to Advent was compatible and right adapter was used. Love dealing with e trailer as I can speak to real people that I can understand and know what they are talking about.



by:

Etrailer folks were extremely helpful! Sheila thank you! The casing had some minor dents in the sides therefore I gave 4 stars. I was able to pull them back out. Advent needs better packaging in their boxes to protect the unit!



by:

Well when I received my order it didn’t have all the equipment I needed to get it installed inside my covered Trailer



by:

I am very pleased with ho fast I received the ac. It was very easy to install. This unit married up to my dometic air handler.



by:

Disappointed, I called before ordering the female I talked to told me that my current metal flange and plastic distribution would work with the new Advent AC. Not really, I tried to use the existing flange it turned into a huge pain. I watched the video for the install and it seemed to me that the divider or plenum was included with the AC- Nope, this part also I think is included with the lower unit part # ACRG15 but.... the customer service rep wasn't sure a little disappointed. So now I have ordered part # ACRG15 paid more shipping! In final learn from my mistake customer service reps are not sure about want you need for a complete job, just order everything send back what you don't use.



by:

Easy installation and cools down my camper wonderfully!



by:

My customer needed a unit asap . Ashley found a similar unit that was in stock for me. It shipped quickly and I installed it this morning. Called customer and she was a very happy camper!



by:

Arrived on time and in great condition. Super easy to install. Replaced the OEM Dometic unit with no connection issues. Very happy with purchase!



by:

Was a breeze no problems at all. The videos are well worth watching

  • What are The Wattage/Power Demands For The Advent Air Low Profile RV AC Package # ASA78YR?
    The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV56FR included with the Advent Air Low Profile RV AC Package # ASA78YR does not list specific starting and running watts. I was able to find information in a flyer for this AC that it has a rated wattage of 1,750W. I also pulled the Specs for the AC from the installation manual which shows power supply in amperage ratings. I have included this in the image below. The main reason they do not list starting and running wattages is the AC has...

  • What Is The Smallest AC Unit For Adding AC System To A Cargo Trailer/Camper
    Hello Tyson. The smallest AC unit we offer is the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner and this will be a great option for you. Since this is a smaller trailer you can definitely get away with a 13,500 BTU unit. These AC units require the roof to be between 2-1/2" and 5" thick, so please do keep that in mind during your build. For a complete AC system I recommend the following: - Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White # ADV79FR - Air Distribution Box w/ Built-In...

  • Which 15,000 Btu Advent AC to Replace Coleman Mach & On Shore Power
    Since you are using shore power, you can replace your Coleman with an Advent 15,000 Btu unit and just need the wiring adapter. I really like the low profile units so I recommend going that route, and you can choose from either White or Black in color: - White: Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV29FR - Black: Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV56FR - Adapter Wiring Kit for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACCOLKIT

  • Need Direct Plug And Play Replacement For Dometic Duo-Therm 659516.531
    Hello Scott. Our best option for replacing the Duo-Therm is an Advent AC unit. The Advent AC units are made to be directly compatible with Dometic AC systems. Meaning the AC unit will plug in, and all of your ceiling registers and thermostat will stay in place and work exactly the same (only with colder air). We have Advent units available in both 13,500 BTU and 15,000 BTU depending on your needs. Here is what I recommend: 13,500 BTU - Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner - 13,500...

  • CFM of 15,000 Btu Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner
    Hey Matt, Both the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner - 15,000 Btu - White # ADV29FR and Black # ADV56FR have a 500 cubic feet per minute (CFM) air flow rating.

  • Replacement Low Profile AC's For a Dometic Duo-Therm 630515 & 630516
    While both the Duo-Therm 630515 and 630516 are low profile units the 630515 is a 13.5K and the 630516 is a 15k. Here is a list of the low profile units we have in both 13.5K and 15K. These are simply the rooftop units and will reuse your Dometic Duo-Therm controls and air distribution box. White 13.5K # ADV79FR White 15K # ADV29FR Black 13.5K # ADV89FR Black 15K # ADV56FR

  • Troubleshooting Coleman Mach AC Controller Shutting Off Advent Air Conditioner After Update
    This sounds like an issue with the Coleman thermostat/controller. I would recommend changing to the Advent which we have either a Manual Air Distribution Box # ACDB or Thermostat Air Distribution Box # ACRG15.

  • Replacement Options For A Dometic RV Air Conditioning System
    Hey Eric, Since both of your units run off of one thermostat the Advent, as well as the other options we currently offer would not be a compatible match. You would have to completely replace the Dometic system with something like the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR94FJ or switch to two separate systems if you went with an Advent Air # ASA26YR. The options we offer do have heat strips available but I wouldn't really consider their output to be what you're looking for.

  • What Hardware Is Needed To Install An Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner
    The hardware it's referring to are the four bolts that clamp the rooftop condenser unit to the air distribution box inside the trailer. We usually just reuse the bolts from the previous unit during the installation of the new unit # ADV56FR. Before you purchase the unit you'll want to check for what style plug your current unit has so you can match it. You'll need to remove the cover of the air distribution box and look for the wire harness that hangs down from the condenser unit and...

  • Replacement RV AC Unit Recommendation for Carrier Unit of 2005 HR Alumascape
    Hey DeWayne, since you have a Carrier setup now the best option would be the Advent Air AC Unit part # ADV56FR with the Carrier adapter part # ACCARKIT as this allows it to easily connect to the current Carrier wiring and controls that you have.

  • Recommended Replacement For A Coleman-Mach 48203C969 13,500BTU Unit
    Hey James, Yes, you can replace a 13,500btu unit with a 15,000btu unit for better efficiency. I recommend going with the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup - 15,000 Btu # FR42PV. This would come with a wire harness adapter for a plug-and-play connection and would reuse the four bolts that your Coleman unit is held in place with.

  • Advent Air Conditioner To Replace a 15K Dometic Brisk Air 2
    You can use either the White # ACM150 or Black # ACM150B Advent AC as a direct replacement for the Dometic Brisk Air 2 15K rooftop AC unit. We do also have low profile units in White # ADV29FR or Black # ADV56FR if you have any height concerns for your trailer. The low profile units is roughly 2-1/2" shorter in overall height.

  • Are Advent AC Units Compatible w/ Micro Air Thermostats?
    No, I am sorry. I checked with Micro Air and their thermostats are not compatible with Advent AC Units like the item # ADV56FR you were looking at. Dometic replacement just means it's got the correct wiring adapter. A comparable unit that is compatible with a Micro Air thermostat is the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup item # FR42PV.

  • Can the Heat Strip from a Dometic Duo Therm Be Used On an Advent AC
    Nick, yes you will be able to transfer your heat strip # ACMHD with the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV56FR. If your Dometic had a heat pump then you'll need to pop the cover off of the thermostat and set the dip switches to up-down-down to switch it form heat pump to heat strip.
