Advent Air has recently updated their warranty terms and will not support usage of their AC's unless they're installed on a camper or motorhome. You can still definitely use their systems, but you would be voiding the warranty and have to pay out of pocket for any issues or replacement parts.

If you want to still go with them then you can get the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ACM150C and heat strip # ACMHD.

If not, then I recommend going with the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR92PR along with the heat strip # FR35SR. Furrion doesn't have the same stipulations on enclosed trailers so you would still be within warranty as log as it's properly installed. You'll want to run some supports between the ceiling frame beams to support the weight of the unit and will most likely need to thicken the roof up with some wood or metal to get the thickness to at least 3.5".
