RV Air Conditioners FAQ

What size RV air conditioner do I need?

Most RVs use either a 13,500 BTU or 15,000 BTU unit. Smaller trailers or campers often use 9,500–13,500 BTU, while larger rigs or fifth wheels benefit from higher BTU units or dual A/C setups.

How many air conditioners can I install on my RV?

This depends on the size and electrical system of the RV. Smaller RVs typically support one unit, while longer trailers or fifth wheels often support two (sometimes three). Check your RV’s electrical rating and roof openings.

Do all RVs use the same roof opening size?

Most modern RV air conditioners are designed for a standard 14" x 14" roof opening, but it’s always best to confirm before purchasing.

Can I replace my old RV A/C with a new one without major modifications?

In most cases, yes. If the new unit uses the same roof opening and similar electrical requirements, replacement is straightforward.

What’s the difference between ducted and non-ducted RV air conditioners?

Ducted systems distribute air through ceiling vents across the RV. Non-ducted systems blow air directly from the unit inside the RV. Your RV must already have ducting to use a ducted setup.

How loud are RV air conditioners?

Noise levels vary by brand and design. Traditional rooftop A/Cs can be fairly loud, but many modern units are engineered for reduced noise.

Can I run my RV air conditioner on a generator?

Yes, but the generator must provide enough starting and running wattage. Many 13.5K BTU units need at least 2,800–3,500 watts to start reliably unless equipped with a soft start.

How often should I maintain an RV air conditioner?

Check or clean filters monthly during heavy use. Annually, inspect the coils, shroud, wiring, and seals. Regular maintenance improves cooling performance and lifespan.

What is a soft start, and do I need one?

A soft start device reduces the initial power surge when the compressor starts. It’s helpful if you're using smaller generators, solar setups, or RV parks with lower power capacity.

Why is my RV A/C not cooling properly?

Common causes include:

Dirty filters or coils
Low voltage supply
Excessive outdoor heat
Blocked vents
Failing capacitors or compressor
