Description
Camping in the summer months is a terrific way to spend your time. With the fresh air, the warm sun, and the cool breeze, you can really relax. But what if it becomes a bit uncomfortable. While we can't remove the sun from your campsite or keep the bugs away, we can definitely help with the heat problem. With our high quality air conditioners, you can stay comfortable throughout your trip. But what if you want more? What if you want to be able to keep your rig warmer in the winter? Or what if you want an air conditioner but don't want to deal with a loud noise or huge amp draw when you turn it on? Well, with this AC unit, you can have exactly that. With this model, you get an RV air conditioning unit that can operate at fewer amps, has less noise associated with its operation, and still has excellent temperature quality.
The ducted version of this model is in most ways the same as the non-ducted version. The outdoor unit measures 26 3/4" wide by 39 5/16" long by 13 11/16" high and the inner plenum unit measures 21" wide by 22" long by 2 1/2" high. This is a direct replacement for a 14" by 14" fan, which means that it is able to fit in the same space without making other adjustments. Available in black and white, this unit is ducted. It comes with removable screen filters that can be cleaned and replaced, which helps keep the unit working well for longer. The included remote control lets you control functions such as cooling, dry mode, sleep, and timing functions. The ultra low plenum design is also great, as it is sleek and streamlined. The functions can be displayed on both the remote and the plenum display. The chassis and canopy are made of a lightweight UV stabilized polypropylene material that helps it to withstand tough conditions. The low decibel readings mean you can enjoy your quiet time without fighting over the noise of your AC unit. This unit should be installed on a roof between 3" and 5 5/16" thick and is best installed on a flat roof. This AC Unit comes with a preinstalled gasket.

Why choose this model? Well, the answers are simple and numerous.
- This isn't just a cheap rooftop AC unit. Unlike other models that are made of cheap plastic that has been molded to shape around the unit, these are made from high-quality, tough plastic built to withstand what life throws at it. In warmer climates, other models of air conditioning units can melt from the heat. Not this one. Built tough and built durable, this AC unit will last you through a good many adventures.
- The remote that is included with the model allows you to control the temperature and settings of the unit from the comfort of your couch. Are you worried that you'll lose it? We've thought of that, too. Along with the remote is a wall carrier for the remote. Simply place it in an easy to reach location and rest the remote in it. The digital display on the inner plenum unit of the air conditioner allows you to control it without the remote as well, just in case you really do lose the remote.
- There are many amazing features on this RV AC unit, however, one of the best ones is the dry mode. Dry mode runs the fan at a higher speed, cycling more air and allowing moisture to collect on the coils so you can enjoy cool, dry air.
- The second amazing feature to pay attention to is the temperature monitoring system. If you like to leave the AC unit on while you sleep, you can often wake up to a freezing room. Because our bodies are naturally cooler when we sleep, leaving on the air conditioner can make your morning feel like ice. To prevent this, the air conditioning unit has a temperature monitoring system that senses the temperature of the surrounding air and adjusts to accommodate whatever temperature you've set it to, keeping you comfortable even through the night.
- Most RV air conditioning units blow the air from the top unit through the space between them and out of the bottom unit without a tube to control the air. With the air moving around in the space between, it loses some of the temperature quality and cleanliness. With the directional tube in this model, the airflow is controlled to provide optimal temperature quality and cleanliness.
- The low amp draw on this model enables it to not only keep your energy use lower than other models, but it allows you to use more than just the AC unit at one time. For other models that have a higher amp draw, you have to think about how many appliances are on that circuit, as the circuit breaker can only handle so much. With the low amp draw of this model, however, you have more room for other appliances. Saving you power and frustration, it's definitely the best model for energy efficiency. Both the Startup and Maximum Amp Draw top out at 14Amps.
- Because of the directional air tube, the high-quality design, and the efficient cooling and temperature control system, this AC unit produces air that is of very high quality. Temperature and humidity-controlled for your desired environment, you can feel the difference with this model.
- Perhaps the most important feature of this air conditioning unit is the noise level. Many of the models that come with your RV are loud and a bit obnoxious. Even those that you replace it with can be loud enough for you to notice it. This model, however, only produces 59.7 decibels of sound when on high. For reference, that's about as loud as a gentle rain; not loud at all. With this low sound level, you can relax in your RV, have a conversation, or watch your movie, all without competing with the AC unit.
