Will 13.5K Btu Advent AC Replace GE AC Unit on RV?
Updated 09/26/2025 | Published 04/29/2025
Question:
I am helping some friends with their RV. They have a 2022 Grand Design travel trailer with a GE 13,500 BTU air conditioner that needs replaced. The unit has a thermostat that is wall mounted and uses a standard 6 pin connector. Will the Advent ACM135B be a good replacement?

Hey Jason, thanks for reaching out!
There are some brands we know will work with the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135B as a plug and play, but GE isn't one of them. You're more than welcome to try it out, but you might want to have a knowledgeable friend or tech on speed dial in case the plugs don't match up or are pinned differently.
Worst-case you'll need to also need to get the Air Distribution Box w/ Wall-Mounted Thermostat # ACRG15 if you can't get this to work with your GE wiring.
I would say to just use a GE AC unit, but they're all converted to the R32 system already, so you'd have to get a completely new system anyways.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
