Parts Needed For A Complete Advent Air Low Profile Air Conditioner System

Updated 10/24/2024 | Published 10/22/2024

Question:

Hello, Have a camper that Im rehabbing and interested in the Advent compact air conditioner. All I have right now is the 120v wire to the opening. What would I need to purchase to put one of the low profile advent 13500 btu air conditioners in? Thank you

Hey Chad,

You'll need an air distribution box to go with your rooftop unit # ADV79FR to get the other half of the system. You could go with the # ACDB if you want the controls built into the air distribution box or the # ACRG15 if you'd prefer a wall mounted thermostat. If you go with the wall mounted thermostat then you'll also need to pick up some wiring to run from the thermostat to controller built into the air distribution box.

While not necessary it is recommended to also install a start capacitor # ACMSCKIT to help reduce the huge power draw when both the fan and condenser kick on.

Do I need a harness to connect? Currently I don’t have a harness installed on the camper since this is basically new construction…just bare wire.

@Chad There's a harness that's built into the rooftop unit that will just plug into the controller that's built into the air distribution box. You just need the 120v service to connect to the controller for power.

Ok. That’s what I wasn’t getting. Thank you.

One more question. What is the approximate measurement from the front of the ac base unit to the start of where the unit fits into the roof opening in the camper? Straight back.
