Speaker 1: Today we'll be taking a look at the Advent rooftop air condition system, part number ACM150CH. This is what our unit's going to look like when it's fully installed. You'll have your controls just at your fingertips. It's going to be a full climate control system that's going to provide heat and air conditioning. This rooftop AC unit will mount on any RV, enclosed trailer, or anything else that you can cut a 14 and a quarter by a 14 and a quarter inch hole in. You do want to make sure you've got room on top of your trailer as well and it won't contact anything.

It's going to measure 24 and 7/8ths inch wide, 31 and 3/16ths inch long, and 12 and 13/16ths inch tall. As long as you've got clearances and can cut the appropriate hole, it'll work on your unit. If you have a smaller unit, one will be sufficient, or if you have a large unit you can use multiple to adequately cool or heat your unit.There's a collapsible gasket underneath that'll tightly seal to your roof to prevent any moisture intrusion and any air leaks. The cover can be removed by loosening the screws on the side, this way the unit can be serviced for the life of your trailer or RV. One of the features that sets this apart from other units is its hard start capacitor.

This is going to allow it to store a charge so it can start on a lower electricity load such as a generator. We can plug it in, and it'll start up just fine. If you're at a campsite that doesn't have its own 20 amp power circuit, you can plug into your generator, and unlike other AC units, this one will start up just fine every time, whereas other AC units may struggle to start because the generator doesn't have enough output to kick it over.This high output rooftop heating and cooling system has three fan settings, options for heat and cool, and adjustable temperature now, and uses a condensation dispersing system to prevent water runoff. It has an adjustable vent to change the direction of air flow. There's also one located in the front.

This comes with a bolt that tilts and direction adjustment. There's a removable air filter that can be cleaned and then reinserted to make sure your unit stays operating optimally throughout the year. The inner vent unit is about 22 and a half inches long, 21 and a half inches wide, and three and a half inches deep to your knobs. It provides 15,000 BTUs of cooling capacity and 5,500 BTUs of heating capacity, which is sufficient for a small RV or trailer.Her we have Hayden with us. He has a lot of experience with RVs.

What do you think about this unit compared to other units Hayden: Well, right away what I like about it is I know you already mentioned the starting capacitor, but that really is the coolest thing about this. You're not going to have to worry about any circuit overload with this one. That is pretty neat. I was looking at some of our other units such as the Atwood, and that doesn't have that. Is there anything else that kind of sets this one apart in your eyes Hayden: Well, the other nice thing about it is you don't have to worry about picking up any additional parts such as caulk or any sealant because this one comes with it, so it's a worry free installation. You don't even have to worry about picking up anything because you install it and it's sealed right up. That was nice. It torqued it right down. We we're good to go. Hayden: Absolutely. We've gone over some of our operating features. How do you like these compared to other units Hayden: It's pretty basic. It's a standard two knob control system here. Though it doesn't have a remote, the nice thing is you don't have to worry about losing the remote. As far as the knobs, they're rubber coated, they're easy to grip. It seems like they're going to hold up for a long time. Yeah, it's a nice, simple solution that works just fine. I noticed compared to our Atwood, the Atwood has a sleep timer which could be more convenient. Yeah, but overall it works as it should.That completes our look at the Advent rooftop air conditioning system on our trailer.
