Hey Andrew,

Yes, the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM150 will run on standard shore power. I'm not sure why the Advent units don't automatically come with them, though it is likely to keep cost down compared to other units.

Answer 1

How much voltage are you reading when you're checking the power wire for the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner #ACM150? If you're not getting 115v at the condenser and 12v at the thermostat then the unit isn't going to properly operate. There…

Since you have a start capacitor, your power should not be a problem; the most likely issue with the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner #ACM150 is "short cycling" and there are a couple of reasons why that might happen. Most often, the issue is…

Hey Kirk, so the freeze sensor of an RV AC unit is designed to be installed in the heat exchanger of the unit. This is the portion that looks like a radiator.

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 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

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…

Hi Nathaniel, Great choice on switching to the Furrion Chill 18,000 BTU! You're going to love the performance and efficiency it brings. One of the biggest advantages of the switch is that Furrion has upgraded their refrigerant from R410A to the…

Hey Kyle! That is correct. The Coleman-Mach Mach-C Everest has variable-speed cooling and an inverter-driven compressor. However, the Mach-C Everest uses a traditional wall thermostat instead of a remote control. It also works with both ducted and…

Hi Collin, welcome back! The most economical replacement is going to be from Advent Air. You will need a complete system since everything moved to R32 refrigerant. If your upgraded thermostat is R32 compatible, or a smart thermostat that got a…
