Lightweight, easy-to-install replacement RV air conditioner

This air conditioner installs in about an hour and a half, with most of that time spent removing the old unit. It is lighter than the previous model and works as a plug-and-play replacement. Hard rubber pedestals reduce noise and improve stability, and the unit sits higher off the roof for better water runoff. A seal kit is included, so no separate purchase is needed. Color selection is unreliable: white or black may be chosen, but black is often shipped regardless. Shipping is handled by a third party, which can lead to delays or damage, and the seller may change frequently.

Pros
  • + lightweight
  • + easy to install
  • + plug-and-play
  • + quiet operation
  • + secure mounting
  • + higher roof clearance for water runoff
  • + seal kit included
Cons
  • − color choice not guaranteed
  • − third-party shipping may cause delays or damage
  • − seller can change often

Shipping Mishandling Damages RV Air Conditioner

The transaction itself went smoothly and the air conditioner brand is well regarded, but the unit arrived mishandled during shipping. It was delivered on its side, and upon opening the box, the cover, base, and fins were found broken or damaged. The carrier was FedEx. The damage left a 70-year-old veteran without air conditioning in over 100-degree North Carolina heat. Better care is needed when moving this package.

Pros
  • + transaction went smoothly
  • + air conditioner brand is well regarded
Cons
  • − unit delivered on its side
  • − broken cover, base, and damaged fins
  • − mishandled during shipping

Simple install, strong airflow, poor packaging

These units install very simply with one plug and a coil sensor connection. They move air better than the Dometic units they replaced and had no trouble cooling a 40-foot class A in 93-degree weather. Durability is uncertain and will only be known over time. Packaging is minimal: the unit arrives in a box with no foam, extra cardboard, or bubble wrap, so damage during shipping is a common risk.

Pros
  • + simple installation
  • + better airflow than previous Dometic units
  • + cools a 40-foot class A in 93-degree heat
Cons
  • − durability unknown
  • − minimal packaging with no protective materials
  • − risk of shipping damage

Effective cooling and quiet operation after delivery issues

Two units arrived with a damaged top shroud, with five of six mounting tabs broken, making the top unsecurable for travel. A replacement shroud was eventually provided through a refund process. The unit is backward compatible with an older model, and installation is plug and play using the existing air box and thermostat, requiring removal of six trim screws and four mounting bolts, plus relocating the temperature sensor. It runs quieter and provides better cooling after upgrading from 13.5K to 15K BTU.

Pros
  • + plug-and-play installation
  • + backward compatible with older model
  • + quieter operation
  • + better cooling with higher BTU
Cons
  • − arrived damaged with broken shroud tabs
  • − replacement process was aggravating
