Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Advent Air White Low-Profile 13,500 BTU RV Air Conditioner system. Now, this low-profile air conditioner unit is gonna let you replace, upgrade, or add a new air conditioner unit to your RV or camper. And this system includes this air distribution box and this stark capacitor. And as you can see, our air distribution box has a thermostat built into it, and the low-profile design of this air conditioner is going to minimize wind resistance.
So this is going to help improve your fuel efficiency and give you a little bit more overhead clearance. Now, this 13,500 BTU per hour air conditioner is going to do a great job of quickly and efficiently cooling the inside of your RV or camper. And this is going to be compatible with ducted or ductless systems. And this is gonna be a bolt-on installation with the included hardware that you can see right there. So this is gonna be great for your motorhomes, your travel trailers, and your fifth wheels.
But I do want to make you aware of the fact that this air conditioner has not been approved for use on school buses, food trucks, enclosed utility trailers, or off-roading vehicles. Now, this air conditioner unit is going to fit roofs from 2 1/2 inches to five inches thick with an opening size of 14 1/4 inches long and 14 1/4 inches wide. And let me give you some overall measurements of this unit just so you have an idea of the size. Looking at the length measuring from front to back, we're sitting at about 31 inches long. The overall height from top to bottom, we're sitting at about 10 1/8 inches tall.
And then the overall width, we're sitting at about 24 and 15/16 inches wide. And the unit itself weighs just a little bit under 70 pounds. Now I'm gonna go ahead and remove the lid here. I went ahead and removed the screws that secure the lid to the air conditioner just so it would save me some time removing the lid for you. I wanna show you the inside and you can see a little bit of what it looks like from that angle, but I wanna give you a better look from overhead.
This air conditioner features a fan blade with a three-speed motor that's going to give you ample airflow at 500 cubic feet per minute. And this air conditioner features a condensation dispersion system that's going to increase cooling efficiency by managing moisture to prevent water runoff. So hopefully, you have a nice view of the inside here from that overhead look. But going back to my wide view, I'm gonna replace this cover, and as I do, I wanted to point out that this cover is a really good piece of plastic. It's a thicker plastic than what I've seen on other RV air conditioner systems from other brands, other companies. So I think this is going to be a very durable cover for you, and it's going to fit tight and snug over the bottom frame of this air conditioner. So I think it's gonna be very durable. I think it's gonna hold up really well for you. This is going to do a great job of protecting those internal components from water and debris. And this is gonna be very easy to remove if you wanted to do some maintenance or do some cleaning. You're just going to remove the screws around the perimeter of the cover with the Phillips head screwdriver. And then when you're ready to replace it, you just pop it back on as you saw me do here and replace those screws and tighten them down, and you will be good to go. I did want to point out here that the frame is constructed of metal, so it's very durable, very strong and rigid. And at the bottom of our frame at the base, we have these foam support pads. They're nice thick foam pads that are going to do a great job of giving you support between the roof of your RV and your air conditioner. And then a gasket seals the opening to prevent water seepage and air leaks. And those foam pads at the base are going to do a great job of reducing noise. Now let me give you a closer view of this corner of the table here. So we can go over the components that's included with this kit. Of course, we have our air distribution box here. It has adjustable registers here at the top and the bottom, or when you have it installed, the front and the back. And this also, so you're gonna be able to easily direct the air where you need it. And then we have a removable air filter here. You're just going to remove this cover and then that's going to allow you to access that filter, wash it out and clean it. That's gonna help prevent dust and dirt buildup on the fan blades. And then we have a built-in thermostat control that is gonna help you, give you the ability to control your temperature and your fan speed. And then the internal aluminum components are gonna be corrosion-proof and rust-proof. And I have this setting up on blocks here, but let me go ahead and just remove the blocks real quick just so I can give you a better overview here. So you see the register there on that side. And then basically this is how it's going to be mounted up in your ceiling. You see the other register there, again, those registers are going to be fully adjustable and this is about 3 1/2 inches thick or so. So from your ceiling it's going to be sticking down or coming down about 3 1/2 inches or so. I'm just turning this around here to give you the view of the portion that's gonna be installed up into your ceiling. And then let me go ahead and set this back up here and give you some measurements here of the air distribution box so you have an idea of the size of it. So looking at the overall length, we're sitting at about 22 1/2 inches long. The overall width about 21 1/2 inches wide. And then this does include this start capacitor. Bring this up here a little bit closer so you can see. And as you probably know, this start capacitor is going to jump-start your air conditioner when the campsite that you're at or the generator that you might be using isn't providing you enough power to start your air conditioner. This capacitor is actually going to store energy that will later be used for the next startup. So this is included along with the hardware to install it. And this will install right inside of the air conditioner unit itself. Now this does not include an electric heat strip, but you can pick one of those up from etrailer as well if you would like that. And so if you decide to pick an electric heat strip separately, again, that'll be installed inside of your air conditioner unit and that will help take the chill out of the air on a cold frosty morning. Now this is UL and CUL certified and we do offer this kit with not only a white cover as we have here, but also a black cover. And we also offer this in a higher BTU rating as well, 15,000 BTU. So you can find those additional options here at etrailer.com. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

worked great, very cool in the texas
Great Deal. Thank You!
Easy to install and works great.
great job thanks
The best price we saw anywhere and all parts were included Installed and works great
So EASY it aughta’ be CHEESY!!! Unboxed AC Unit, noticed two dents in the unit but none of the parts looked damaged or inconsistent; So I decided not to call regarding minor damage, instead I decided to install it by using two ramps I made out of scrap wood. TIP: the wooden ramps made it so simple to install the unit with minimal effort and two people. This made it a breeze to put in and I really recommend using this tip when installing your unit… The New Advent AC Unit made is so simple to plug into the dometic. This unit is made for easy installation and almost a universal fit. Great Experience at this establishment and happy with their product and selection of RV and Trailer parts. I will definitely recommend to all my fellow RV’ers! Happy Shopping! Always remember… Keep your library card updated!??????
I purchased this 15,000 BTU unit with the direction from customer service. I was told that it was a replacement for my original Dometic AC on my 5th wheel and that it would mount and have identical wiring.
They were very helpful and correct. It was extremely easy to replace. The mounting bolts and wiring hook up were identical to my old unit. The hardest part was getting it on the roof of my camper which actually wasn’t that difficult. I put an old piece of carpet (upside down) on the roof to protect it. I used my tractor with a front loader to lift it as high as I could then just set it up on the roof.
Once I removed the diverter/trim from the inside ceiling there are 4 bolts holding the unit in place, one wiring plug and the freeze sensor attached to the evaporator. Once that was all done it just lifted off the roof. After cleaning the roof where the old unit set, I simply set the new unit on the same seal footprint. I went inside hook up the wire plug, located the freeze sensor and tightened the 4 bolts. Don’t tighten the bolts too tight, just enough to hold it tight and adequately compress the foam seal.
The overall size of the new unit is shorter and smaller than the Dometic.
Ordered a different unit, noticed the next morning that shipping had changed and unit was not gong to ship for another two months! I called the help line, the gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and found me this unit that would work and was in stock. Unit arrived a few days later, however the side was dented and the cover is broken. It is summer and we have camping plans this weekend so I installed unit anyhow, everything is working as designed, it cools my RV nicely and is much quieter than the original unit. Cover is still cracked, hoping to find who to call/email about getting a replacement shipped to me?
Dropped the old Dometic off my roof while doing a repair. I’m now glad this happened because it forced a great upgrade. This unit matched right up to my Dometic Airbox perfectly. The low profile unit is much smaller than the Dometic, without sacrificing any performance.
Item arrived damaged by UPS. I contacted etrailer & they are sending a replacement. Very good customer service. As you can looks like the unit was thrown around during shipping.
Installed unit with Coleman adapter harness and A/C compressor comes in, condenser starts cooling, but fan never comes on. I voiced my concern that i think the blower motor is bad, but after contacting eTrailer, I was instructed that I'd need to spend more money and purchase Advents, compatible over head control box. Installed everything recommended and guess what??? Still no fan operation. Pulled the upper cover off the unit, checked for voltage at blower motor on all speeds and yep, you guessed it, voltage at the blower motor. I spent so much money to replace a Coleman unit that was working, just struggled in the heat of the day. Overall, the whole experience has been garbage.
The first part of this review is for etrailer. Fantastic customer service as usual. The unit was back ordered when i placed my order and they kept me updated the whole time, and it actually arrived earlier than expected. Unfortunately I received the unit with a fan blade that was damaged during shipping. They sent me another unit immediately to resolve the issue. More companies need to be like etrailer.
As for the unit itself; I’m very impressed. I installed this on my high roof sprinter to replace the existing 12 volt unit since I needed something stronger. Install couldn’t be easier. It’s not terribly heavy, I carried it up the ladder by myself.
The soft start makes it possible to run off my 12v battery bank and 4000watt inverter with no issues. The 12v unit i replaced would take about an hour to get the whole van down to temperature, the advent unit takes maybe 5 minutes to cool the whole van off.
An absolute game changer for me. Very quiet inside, outside is a bit louder than the 12v unit but quieter than many 115v rv units I’ve seen.
Direct replacement for a 10 yr old Dometic. Four bolts and plug in one connector and the camper was cooling. No adaptors needed. I wasn’t sure of the quality or ability of the unit as it was less than half the price of the replacement Dometic, but so far I’m impressed. I set the T-stat to 68 and within an hour it got to set point during these 90+ degree days. I read a lot of reviews of these units being damaged and this one followed suit. It has a dent in the metal frame just as others have observed, but it didn’t affect the mounting of the unit or cover. There was no damage to the shipping box or packing foam. My guess it’s was a production issue. Time will tell on how long it last, but with proper filter maintenance and coil cleaning it should give many years of good service. It does include an 2 year limited warranty, just remember to fill out the paperwork for it to be valid. Only negative, it is made in China, but most things are these days.

In short, it was a simple drop in replacement for my Dometic Brisk II unit. The Dometic thermostat operates this unit without issue on low and high speeds. The toughest part was getting the old unit down and the new unit up on the roof. Hopefully this one will outlast the previous two Dometic units that both had major freon leaks within two years. Warranty did cover the cost for the replacement unit. I do like the low profile and smaller size of this unit It performs equally as well as the Dometic unit it replaced. The sales staff were helpful providing detailed information not to mention all the available specs, diagrams, videos, etc. on the website. This long time electronics tech has been impressed. These days that doesn't happen very often! 50
It literally took a half hour to install. I’m so happy that I did it myself and I would recommend it to anybody. Today is July 5 and it’s 106 outside here in AZ and I’m inside my trailer, nice and cool, excellent product.
AC works, however, the bottom half of the unit was bent, someone damaged (bent it) the bottom portion and must have put a new top cover on it and boxed the unit up. The box was in perfect shape.
Changed out dometic 13,500 BtU conditioner with 15,000 BTU with Advent Air. The fit was exactly the same dimensions with the same plug for thermostat and other controls. All I had to reconnect was the 115v electric. When started it took about 30 seconds for fan ramp up to full speed and then compressor kicked in. Two people took two hours. One person had previous experience. Should work well cooling a 30ft fifth wheel camper.
