Hey Tim,

We can get you a good AC unit to keep those pups cool, and you can go with a unit that has a wall-mounted thermostat, or one that is manual where you control it from just the distribution box on the ceiling. I recommend going with a 15,000 Btu unit for the most cooling power, and you can choose from the following:

- White- Manual: Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR92PR

- Black - Manual: Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR32PR

- White - Wall Thermostat: Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR55PV

- Black - Wall Thermostat: Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR23PV

These each require a 14-1/4” x 14-1/4” opening on your roof (which you may already have since you mentioned an AC unit had already been installed), and a roof thickness of 3.5" - 6".

You can use the RV Propane Gas Detector #RS64FR (white) or #RS44FR (black) to replace your current Atwood 31013 propane gas detector. This will also use a 12v, 2-wire installation like your current detector.

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.…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
