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.

In short, it was a simple drop in replacement for my Dometic Brisk II unit. The Dometic thermostat operates this unit without issue on low and high speeds. The toughest part was getting the old unit down and the new unit up on the roof. Hopefully this one will outlast the previous two Dometic units that both had major freon leaks within two years. Warranty did cover the cost for the replacement unit. I do like the low profile and smaller size of this unit It performs equally as well as the Dometic unit it replaced. The sales staff were helpful providing detailed information not to mention all the available specs, diagrams, videos, etc. on the website. This long time electronics tech has been impressed. These days that doesn't happen very often! 50

It literally took a half hour to install. I’m so happy that I did it myself and I would recommend it to anybody. Today is July 5 and it’s 106 outside here in AZ and I’m inside my trailer, nice and cool, excellent product.



by:

Upon what should have been a simple routine installation, three of the four mounting bolts which screw into chintzy riveted-on threads became difficult to screw in, which snapped the riveted thread from the unit, rendering it virtually uninstallable. Insult to injury was learning that e trailer does not stand behind this unit and punted to the manufacturer "warranty" which is a complicated process that involves removing the unit (need to cut the bolts on my case which would be very difficult without damaging the unit) and bringing the 100 lb air conditioner to an in-network dealer (while of course leaving your RV unusable with a hole in the roof) and waiting for them to fix it. Not sure who has time for that but it isn't me.



by:

Bought this to replace an older (2007) Coleman 8000 on our pop-up. Had a bit of a time installing this. Please, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and LOOK AT THE PICTURES. I had the upper duct that mounts to the roof unit installed 180 degrees off.

The converter kit that you buy with this if you're replacing a Coleman, didn't fit my Coleman panel. It's made for newer units. After talking to etrailer and the manufacturer I found I had to purchase a new control panel for inside. Another $85.

Overall it wasn't a bad job once I figured out the upper duct and the control panel issues. Unit cools well. About the same noise level as the old Coleman. It is not as thick top to bottom as the Coleman was. Think it's a little lighter after picking up both! Real test of how it works will be the trip we're taking next month.



by:

Etrailer came for the win. After trying to order from Amazon and having my order cancelled I went to etrailer. I got a better RV AC unit for $50 less and shipped the next day.
Etrailer now has all my RV business.

Direct replacement for my failed Dometic A/C. Used my original air box and controls,easy installation. Works well in Florida heat. Quieter than the original at half the price. Sales staff was excellent, shipping was fast and free.



by:

Affordable, good quality, easy install! This was a plug and play replacement for my old dometic. I saved so much money.



by:

Almost wanted to give it 5 stars only thing so far I dislike was the discharge opening was off to one side and my stock unit was in the middle. With summer coming on we will put it to the test.it is nice a quiet outside.



by:

Super fast shipment and relatively easy install thanks to Youtube University! There’s a few really good videos on there that make doing the install a breeze.



by:

The videos helped a bunch. Received the unit and had it installed in less than an hour. Works great.



by:

Quiet and moves quite a bit of air. Love it so far.



by:

Great customer service and fast deliver y.



by:

Best price and very honest. Shipped half way across the US in three days. Awesome.



by:

Absolutely amazing. Couldn’t BELIEVE how easy it was to swap out!! Took me maybe 30 mins and it was going.

  • Complete AC System With An Advent 13.5K BTU Low Profile AC Unit
    Hello 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...

  • 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...

  • Low Profile AC Unit Recommendation for 2018 Keystone Cougar
    Hey Steven, so we have the Dometic Penguin Ii High Capacity 15k btu RV AC unit part # DMC33ZR 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.

  • Difference Between Ducted and Ductless AC Units
    The difference is going to come down to the air distribution box. A ducted system will have registers on the air distribution box to close and redirect air through the ducts. Your typical replacement air conditioner like the # FR26PR or # ADV79FR will work with both since it is just the AC unit and not the air distribution box. If you're looking for a full system replacement the # FR95PV is also compatible with both.

  • How Big Of A Roof Opening Is Required For The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR
    Hey Ray, The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR follows the industry standard cutout hole sizing of 14" x 14". If you're replacing an existing rooftop unit and keeping your current air distribution box and thermostat then you'll want to just make sure that the old rooftop unit has a 6-pin connector. If it ends up having a 9-pin connector then you'll need to pick up an adapter # ACCOLKIT as well.

  • What is the Decibel Rating for the Advent AC
    Hey Kevin, the Advent AC # ADV79FR has a decibel rating of 76. For the mounting hardware, since this is just a replacement top unit you'd need to reuse your existing hardware which is why there aren't any included because it could be different from trailer to trailer. If you were planning on adding a new system, then you'd want # ADV64FR which does include all the mounting hardware.

  • Heat Strip For Advent Air Conditioners
    As I see you were looking at the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR this will use the Heat Strip # ACMHD.

  • What Is Included with The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR

  • Is The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR Compatible With The # ACDB
    Hey Jon, Yes, the Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR is compatible with the Air Distribution Box # ACDB. This would have the controls on the air distribution box instead of a wall mounted thermostat. We don't currently have any systems with a wireless remote. You'll want to doublecheck the BTU rating of your current unit and make sure you have a 13,500BTU rating. If you have a 15,000BTU rating or you just want to upgrade you can go with the # ADV29FR instead.

It is also available in white # ACM135 if you would prefer that over black or you could use the low profile models # ADV79FR or # ADV89FR

    Campers unfortunately don't have confirmed fit products as well as vehicles due so I don't have a list of items I can guarantee will fit but the good news is a lot of the campers use the same dimensions for things so there is a lot of things that are "universal" if you can check the camper itself as well.

  • Will An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner Work On The Roof Of A 2013 Ford Van
    Hi Tom, The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR requires 110v service, which would require you to run a generator in order to power it. This would likely require you to reinforce the roof to accommodate the weight and you'd have to build the ceiling up to 2-1/2" - 5" thick for the air distribution box # ACDB. This really wouldn't be a viable option, but there are air conditioners designed for vehicle use you could look into. The only thing we could really offer would...

If there is no controller inside the roof AC unit we do not have the correct connectors needed that would allow you to install the Advent # ADV79FR. Those...
