Description
Life is an incredible adventure when you live in a camper van or an RV. However, all too often, those adventures can take you to areas that have very warm climates where the sun can beat down on you without mercy. Even in a campground that is shaded by trees and nature, the heat can often be unbearable and stifle any semblance of comfort. Many people resort to using a fan or opening windows to find some relief from the heat.
However, this can result in merely pushing hot air around or letting cooler air out of your rig. If you want to stay cool and comfortable in even the hottest of climates, then you need an RV Air Conditioner! If you are looking for an RV AC model that provides superb performance alongside exceptional efficiency, then look no further than the RecPro 48V RV Air Conditioner!
Small Design - Big Features
The RecPro 48V RV Air Conditioner features a low profile design that looks great and offers reduced drag while you are traveling, unlike larger, bulkier AC units. Despite its low-profile design, this AC unit is packed full of features that offer all sorts of benefits. For starters, this AC unit can be installed in a standard 14" x 14" roof opening, with a minimum roof thickness of 1" and a maximum of 2 ¾". Its smaller and lighter design gives it a mid-sized heating and cooling capacity, making it perfect for camper vans, RVs, and mobile homes.
This RV AC comes with a remote control and a touch-screen plenum with LED lighting and 4 dimming modes that make it easy to control your AC and adjust its settings. The plenum can display a variety of settings and information, such as a clock/timer and temperatures displayed in either ℉ or ℃. Featuring low noise, low amp draw, and efficient heating and cooling in one device, it is easy to see that this small AC has big things in store for you.
Features:
- Low profile design
- Four air outlets
- Efficient heat pump
- Variable speeds
- Remote control
- Clock/Timer display
- Touch screen plenum display
- Cool, Fan, Dry, Heat, and Auto modes
- Low, Medium, High, and Auto fan speeds
- Reverse cycle refrigeration circuit
- Washable return air filter
- UV-resistant polymer casing
- LED lighting with 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% brightness dimming modes
Excellent Performance and Energy Efficiency
Although smaller in size, this 48V AC is able to boast big-time performance and power efficiency. Four air outlets allow for a maximum airflow of 286 CFM and assist in quickly heating or cooling a room. Speaking of heating and cooling, this AC sports a cooling capacity of 9,500 BTU/h and a heating capacity of 9,000 BTU/h, further facilitated by a smoothly operating fan with variable low, medium, high, and Auto fan speeds.
The room temperature control feature even lets you set a desired temperature instructing the AC to keep the temperature at or near that point. This RV air conditioner is easy on your power system as well, especially with its low amp draw. It features a maximum current of only 6.3 Amps, with cooling and heating power inputs at about 1150 Watts and 1120 Watts, respectively.
Speaking of temperature control, our air conditioner offers superb heating efficiency thanks to its heat pump. Other AC models use a heat strip to warm air, which is both power inefficient and not very effective in warming the air. The heat pump in our air conditioner model is far more efficient and effective than a heat strip, as it pulls in air and cycles that air until it reaches your set temperature before pumping that air out into your RV.

The fan of the AC unit can operate at variable speeds, with Low offering quiet and peaceful cooling or heating while High provides quick on-demand cooling or heating.
Tips
While this unit is efficient and effective, there are several things you can do to help it out. Humidity levels, sun load on the RV and the unit, and other factors can impact the temperature difference between the ambient air and the air that comes from the AC unit. When you're using the AC unit, make sure to give it about 15 minutes to warm up. This will allow the unit to properly adjust to the ambient temperature, giving you the best cooling capability from the unit. Park in a shaded area or at least extend your RV awning to keep more of the heat from the sun off of your RV.
Keep all windows and doors closed as well, using shades and blinds to prevent additional heat load from the sun from getting through the windows. Avoid using heat-producing appliances inside or limit their use when possible. You can also use a fan to keep the air moving. Keeping the temperature down inside your RV through these methods can help prevent the RV AC unit from becoming overloaded and can help bring the temperature down further.
To keep the unit working well, it's also important to maintain it, checking the various pieces and parts periodically and cleaning the condenser coils and air filter, as damage to any area within the unit can cause it to become limited in its cooling capacity and can cause further damage to the unit.

*If installed on a curved/mesa/grooved/otherwise not smooth and flat roof, you may need a frame or filler for the gaps as well as sealant. Any modifications to the AC unit itself will void the warranty.*
**DO NOT install on 110V systems. Input voltages at or above 100V DC will damage the air conditioning unit and will NOT be covered under warranty. The power supply voltage at the unit should be maintained between 45V DC to 60V DC.**
***If your power supply system uses any DC to DC Step Up Converters, they MUST be rated at least 2000 VA capacity at 122℉. Any panels connected to your power system should NEVER exceed a maximum PV open circuit voltage of 100V DC.***
**Because of the delicate nature of the circuitry that is exposed to the elements and the upper limit of amp draw needed to work, the ACs will not function above an outdoor temperature of 122°F. Be sure to always check the weather ahead of travel and park in the shade when possible.**
***Warranty: We cover these products for a period of 2-years from the point of retail sale. This covers manufacturer defects only.***
