Replacement RV AC Unit for Carrier V that Has Start Capacitor and Heat Strip
Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/08/2024 >
Question:
I have a Carrier Air V roof ac unit, 13,500 btu, that may need replacing. I believe the opening is approximately 14 5/8 square. Do you have a model to replace this? I would want the soft start capacitor and heat strip. Controls are on the unit, no thermostat or duct work.

Hey Herbert, we have just what you are looking for with the Advent Air Replacement AC Unit for Carrier setups part # ACCAR135 which was designed for replacing Carrier units so the install is easier and it comes with a start capacitor. Then to add a heat strip you'd need the part # ACMHD and you'd be set.
