Hi, down with etrailer. Whether you're replacing a rooftop air conditioning unit on your trailer or if you're adding a new one, this is gonna be a good option for you. This is the new Low Profile series from Advent Air. This is gonna come with a white shell or a black shell. This is gonna come in two different power requirements, well, depending on your camper size and the output that it can handle. This is either gonna be a 13,500 BTU, or today's installation, a 15,000 BTU.

Now in this particular camper, we replaced a much larger air conditioning unit with this smaller one. It's gonna be a smaller footprint. This is good for anybody that's looking to make a little bit more room up on top of the camper, whether it be for solar panels or optional other equipment that you wanna put on there. We did a size comparison between this newer Low Profile unit and the unit we took off. Let's go check that out right now.

Just real quick, we wanted to show you the size comparison between the unit that we're replacing, this Everchill unit over here, and then the new Advent Low Profile series here. And it's not always about the size. This unit over here is a 13,500-BTU unit, while this Advent here is a 15,000-BTU unit. It's just, the dimensions are gonna be a little bit smaller for you, and this is something to consider if you have limited space up on top of your trailer or camper, if it's loaded up with either skylights or vents or TV antennas, and if your space is limited, you definitely want to check that. For instance, the height on our Low Profile unit, we're gonna be running about 11 inches above your rooftop, whereas on this unit here, we we inchesre about 14 inches.

So you're saving around three inches just in height alone. As far as width, the Advent unit's gonna come in just around 25 inches or so, and on the Everchill unit that we're replacing, it's about 30 inches. The other unit we like to, the other measurement I like to get is gonna be (tape measure snapping) from the intake and exhaust right here on the bottom. It stops right here. And this is usually where people run into problems on top of their camper because they'll have a TV antenna or something that's set up behind it, and it's gonna interfere with it.

On our Advent today, that's only 11 inches, whereas on the Everchill unit, we're running about 13 1/2 inches with that. So this is really an option to consider if you have limited space up on top. So that really was a dramatic difference in size between the two. If your camper can handle the power consumption, I would recommend going with as large a unit as you can take. This particular model, if you go with the 15,000 BTU, it's gonna draw 15.4 amps while it's running. So just keep that in mind, and check your camper's power requirements, make sure that you can handle that much. Let's go take a look at the inside and check out some of the controls. With this setup, you're going to get a thermostat here that's gonna power the unit. It's gonna be cool mode, a heat mode, and then a fan-only mode. And it's gonna have three speeds on the fan, high, medium, and low. So to cycle through, you can just hit the mode button, and it's gonna control not only the rooftop air conditioner, but it'll control your furnace if you have one as well. If you just want fan mode, you can kick it to fan-only, and then adjust the speeds to medium or low. As far as the air box down here, you're gonna have separate air duct controls. You can open these or close them. On this particular camper, we have a duct system, so we have the option of having some air exit through here or go through the duct system, so this will work for ducted or ductless systems. It has a washable, replaceable air filter element right here. You can just pull that out, wash it, replace it, back up. All in all, I think this is a great little setup here if you're replacing, or even if you're just gonna add air conditioning to your camper. Advent Air, they seem to be fairly easy to install. Whether you have a Furrion system or a Coleman system, or a Carrier setup, we have different adapters available to ma
