Specs:
This Advent Air AC unit lets you replace an existing, old or broken air conditioner or add a new air conditioner to an area on your RV or camper that doesn't already have one. The AC has a powerful fan and motor that provides a steady stream of air to efficiently cool the inside of your RV on a hot or muggy day. For your convenience, the included air distribution box has a built-in thermostat that lets you set the fan speed and temperature. The included start capacitor will help jumpstart the AC. This beneficial upgrade provides the AC a boost when shore power or generator power isn't enough to start it. And everything you need in order to replace or add an AC unit is included, which makes installation simple and easy.
The AC unit includes an air distribution box with a built-in thermostat. The dial on the left controls the 3 cool settings and the 3 fan speed settings, which let you increase or decrease the airflow. If you add an electric heat strip (sold separately) to remove the chill on cold mornings, then the dial also controls the heat setting. The dial on the right allows you to set the temperature. Additionally, there are adjustable registers on the front and back of the box. These can be tilted up, down, or side-to-side for directing the air where needed. The removable air filter prevents dust and dirt from building up on the fan blades.
If your campsite or generator isn't able to draw the power you need, then you may have difficulty starting your AC unit. The included start capacitor, however, can eliminate this problem. The capacitor stores energy that will later be used to jumpstart the AC. Once the sufficient amount of power has been supplied to the AC, the compressor will start to run, and the internal relay switch will turn the start capacitor off. At the same time, the compressor will send "back voltage" to the relay switch and capacitor in order to energize them for the next startup.
Because your RV is likely already prepped and pre-wired for an AC unit, installation is simple and easy. Most AC units, including this one, are designed to fit an opening that measures 14-1/4" x 14-1/4". Depending on your roof setup, you may need to do minimal alterations. If the opening is larger than 14-3/8" x 14-3/8", you will need to install spacers between the sides of the unit and the opening's edges. If the opening is smaller than 14-1/8" x 14-1/8", you will need to enlarge the hole to fit the unit snugly inside the opening.
On the bottom of the AC, there's a thick, collapsible gasket with 6 noise-reducing foam pads. This provides support between the RV roof and AC and seals the opening to prevent water and outside air from leaking in. Because of this, the use of fresh sealant isn't required during installation.
To install the start capacitor, bolt it to the fan motor support with the included hardware and then route the wires to the run capacitor.
Once installed, the hard plastic cover on the AC can easily be removed for maintenance and cleaning.
2-Year limited warranty covers defective units when installed correctly on approved applications. The warranty does not cover units installed incorrectly. To ensure air conditioner is installed correctly, please see the questionnaire pdf below. A filled-out questionnaire is required for warranty coverage.
If you are not comfortable using a voltmeter (or removing the charge from the start capacitor), youll want to make a service appointment with your local RV dealer to verify the installation. Print the pdfs below (warranty- questionnaire, warranty dealer information) and take them along with the RV to your local dealer. ASA does compensate dealers for warranty work as outlined in the dealer information pdf. You may be charged by the dealer for time spent investigating the installation.

Ductless AC unit lets you replace an existing AC or add a new AC to your RV. Air distribution box has a built-in thermostat to control the fan and temperature. Start capacitor jumpstarts the AC when camp power or generator power isn't enough.The a/c is working great but ups can not deliver a package without messing it up the unit was dented pretty bad on one side I had to do some extra work but it is in and cooling great I would buy another one and ask to send it some other way
First when ordering Jamie was very helpful and was able to answer my questions. I received my order actually one day ahead of schedule. But once I opened the box the unit was damaged. But I had mine off and a hole in roof so I opted to keep it and install. The unit was very easy to install and went together well. It is not any louder than my old unit. It looks very nice. And seems to work just as advertised. I am very pleased. I did email e trailer about the damage and they got back to me very promptly. We reached an agreement and again I’m very pleased at this point.
Seems to run as advertised. Popped the circuit breaker, once. My biggest issue was shipping damage because of the poor packaging. Basically, a cardboard box with the unit unprotected inside. Three units were delivered, all damaged in shipping. I was able to piece together one good unit from all the broken or dented parts, and ship back the damaged goods. The units need to be packaged better to avoid the damage and hassle.
The AC is perfect for our motorhome.
Works great,I wish I had gotten it with heat also,the air Works great.
While we had it, there were no issues. Worked great. RV has been sold since.
very good communication fast shipping just as described great item
I purchased the 15,000 btu model
Shipping was fast the unit works fantastic installation was pretty easy my trailer was preset up,you definitely need the hard start capacitor as my 4500 watt generator starts it but wouldn’t without it I also purchased the heater strip that is all the pros the only con is the 2 knobs that control pop off once in a while so I glued them on definitely would purchase again
etrailer shipping was prompt, we received exactly what we ordered. The Advent AC was as expected, a plug and play unit. Out of all the other work we've done on our 2000 trailer, installing this unit was one of the easiest. The unit works great, at times its too cold. And its def quieter than our 2000 unit. Overall I recommend it and easy to DIY.
etrailer.com did they job delivering it on time, good packaging and working properly.
This equipment does a good job, in the trailer is always way cooler than outside, but I still wish the AC Unit was a little more powerful. I won’t complain though, it was definitely a cheaper equipment. I could have spent a lot more in a different unit.
Keeps the horse trailer really cold during the 100 plus degree summer, Only thing is when it rains it leaks but that could have also been user error when installing it. We had to replace our old AC since it quit working on us and this one is doing the job really well.
Etrailer was very easy to deal with. Prompt responses to queries..email updates on shipping and delivery. Delivered ahead of schedule. But box was damaged. Unit had damage to exterior. They promply provided us with resolution options. Would definitely deal with etrailer in the future.
The advent air conditioner is very quiet and works great. It was also easy to install.
An excellent replacement unit for an aging and unreliable Coleman unit. My only issue is it sometimes, under heavy load, trips the 20 amp circuit breaker it is being supplied from.
Came faster than expected. Installation was easy. Works great.
always awsome dealing with e trailer th nx!!!!
This a/c is very quiet, efficient and effective. The heat pump reduced my propane use dramatically.
Great customer service. Noah was very helpful and I received all the parts timely and thanks to Noah the install was easy!
Works great in my race trailer
Awesome product and service.
Sent wrong parts , but Reesa in customer service quickly rectified the problem and shipped proper stuff.
Awesome team of people.
SPECIAL THANKS TO REESA !!!!!!!
Received product on the day promised. Product had a little damage from shipping. Don't think it will affect the ac working properly. Haven't installed yet. Planning on it this weekend. Will follow-up. Ac seems to be better made and heavier duty than the original.
