Replacement Shroud for Advent Air RV AC

Updated 04/30/2026 | Published 04/29/2026

Question:

I purchased this unit just over a year ago order 121908812 and our area just had a huge hail storm and the cover to the A/C has holes and cracks in it now. Is there any way that I can order just the cover and is so what is the part number? I am hoping that nothing internal has been damaged. Thank you, Logan

Hey Logan, welcome back! Sorry to hear about your cover, hopefully everything else is fine. We got hit pretty hard with those storms here as well. The good news is we do have a replacement cover. What you need is the Replacement RV Air Conditioner Cover for Advent Air Units # PXXMCOVER.

Any big trips coming up this spring/summer?

Thank you for the quick response. I did take the cover off and noticed that a lot of the fins have been smashed in. What would be the best wat to get them straighten out with out causing further damage? Once I do turn it on is there a way to tell if the freon line got a crack in and lost all the freon, well besides it not blowing cold air. At this time no big trips planed. You know I think you are the person that helped me when I sent in a question I had with the wiring harness for my 2021 Chevy Blazer. Where are you guys located if you got hit by the storms as well?

@LoganM yes that was me a little over a year ago. We are in Wentzville, MO. Basically the St. Louis area. For the fins, you’ll want to straighten them as gently as possible since they bend easily. A fin comb is the best tool, but a small flathead screwdriver can work if you go slow and do a little at a time. You don’t need them perfect, just opened up enough for airflow. As for the refrigerant, there’s no easy way to check it directly since it’s a sealed system. After you get everything back together, turn it on and listen for the compressor kicking in and see if it’s blowing cold air. If it runs but doesn’t cool, that’s usually a sign something internal (like a leak) could be wrong.

I purchased and replaced our Advent cover after a close encounter with a too low bridge. It was an easy fix. Also on the fins, if you get some air conditioner cleaner in an aerosol can (local hardware should have it) it usually has a cap that is a fin straightener. Another easy fix, and you can clean foxs so print cleaning on your fins while your at it.
