Hey Greg, congrats on your new trailer. What kind of AC unit does your Forest River have? Forest River doesn't post what specific AC system you have and I can't tell what it is by your picture.

The Furrion Heat Strip Add-On item # FR35SR fits the older model Furrion Chill manual ac systems. If you could give me a model or part number off of your AC, I'll be able to tell if the Furrion item # FR35SR will work or see if we have one that does.

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

@Greg Thanks for the information! That is exactly what I need. Your facro8hesa2-bl is one of the new 8K BTU Furrion Chill units and as of 02/26/26 they do not have a compatible heat strip for it. I haven't heard when or if they're going to be making one. The newer AC's, like yours, switched to R32 refrigerant in 2025 and none of the components are backwards compatible with the AC systems that have the 410a refrigerant. The only heat strips currently available are for the older 410a systems.

Answer 1

Hi Mike, Yep, it sure will; you do have the right heat strip for the Furrion Chill HE that uses a thermostat; it is the Heat Strip Add-On for Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner - Electronic #FR63PR.
