Hey Marty,

The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR is just the rooftop unit. You would need to purchase either a manual air distribution box # ACDB or digital control air distribution box # ACRG15 to complete the system.

Hey Marty, did you end up adding one of the air distribution boxes to go with your Advent Air rooftop unit? Knowing which setup worked could help others choosing between the manual and digital options.
