Recommended Replacement AC Unit for a Jayco Jay Flight 26BHS

Updated 07/30/2025 | Published 06/27/2025

Question:

We are looking to replace our AC unit, which is ducted and has a wall thermostat. Is this the correct model or is there one that is simpler? I have a Jayco JayFlight 26bhs, only need 13,500 btu

Hey Kathie, thanks for reaching out!

The 13.5K Btu Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR25TD is an excellent choice to replace the AC on your Jayco Jay Flight 26BHS. I really like the reliability and performance of the Chill HE units, so I know you'll definitely be happy with the results!

Are you planning on installing the new AC unit, or are you going to have a shop do it?

We are going to do it ourselves, we are pretty handy like that. I just did not want to get something that would be overkill in terms of BTU’s and start up needs. From what I’ve seen it looks like a doable task. Thanks for confirming the 13.5 K is the way to go.

@Kathie Great to hear! I'd love to get your feedback on it once you all have had a chance to use it!

@JonG Hi…so my husband tried installing this and for some reason it is not working. I think we need a new controller, is it possible he could have blown something in it? There were more wires in it than we needed and he tried to hook all of them up (expect for the brown furnace wires) and I don’t think the “extra” LED, and black and red wires should be hooked up to anything with our existing system.

@Kathie Did you all end up getting the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner Kit # FR25TD I mentioned above, or did you go with another kit? This kit comes with a new controller and thermostat so I'm just trying to make sure I understand completely. Has your husband installed an AC unit before?
