I need to replace the ac unit in our living quarters horse trailer. The living quarters is approximately 8x14. The ac is ducted throughout the roof with 4 vents. Have an onboard Onan 4000. What would you recommend? Thanks!

Since you currently have a ducted system I recommend the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu # ACM135. This will work with Dometic (Brisk I or Brisk II), Coleman Mach, or Carrier setups. If you currently have a Coleman with a 9-pin connector you will need adapter # ACCOLKIT and if you have a Carrier # ACCARKIT. If you wish to add a start capacitor # ACMSCKIT or heat strip # ACMHD they are available separately.

Answer 1

Hey Andrew! Yes, Furrion does have a Chill Cube model with a heat pump. This was actually just released for aftermarket sale. You will need a complete system to make the switch, new R32 units aren't backwards compatible with old R410A systems.…

Hey Jon; I was actually just talking to Furrion about heat options for the Chill Cube yesterday (1/21/2025). At this time, the only way to have heat with this unit is through a furnace on a ducted setup. The Furrion Chill Cube RV AC w/ Air…

Hey Neil. The 18,000 Btu Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner item #LC34DX fits a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" cutout which is pretty standard on RV's. If you meant to write Dometic instead of domestic then yes it'll fit in your existing…

Answer 6

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 8

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.…

Answer 9

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Answer 10

Hey Tim welcome back! Your ARH15AACBL2 GE AC unit has the old 410a refrigerant in it so the GE Appliances item #GE64FR you were looking at isn't going to work as a replacement. The EPA mandated R32 refrigerant has been used in all new AC's…

Hey W.F., welcome back! The Advent Air RV AC #ADV23SR you were looking at is a non-ducted setup with the controls on the air distribution box (ADB). It does not come with or require a wall thermostat. The controls are built into the ADB itself using…
