Expert Reply:

Correct, the Carrier Adapter Wiring Kit for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners part # ACCARKIT will not work with Carrier Air V RV Air Conditioner if it has the heat pump. Since you do have the heat pump you will need to replace the distribution box as well with the Air Distribution Box w/ Built-In Thermostat part # ACDB.

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…
