Furrion Chill Cube 18k BTU Variable Speed RV Rooftop Air Conditioner, White, Non-Ducted, R32 Refrigerant, Quiet High-Efficiency AC with Turbo Cool Mode, Lightweight, AC Unit Only - FACR18VSSA-BL-AM

I replaced my 12 year old Dometic AC that came with my RV with this Chill Cube AC. I am super impressed, the amount of cooling and the current draw is like night and day. I have very rarely used the Dometic AC unit (maybe 3 - 4 times in total) as it had a huge inrush that would overpower my generator causing it to disconnect. It also did not cool very well. This new Furrion unit addresses both issues. The RV was at 72 degrees in a 95 degree full sun wheather, Dometic could never do, at the same time drawing half the energy at around 850W. I have a solar setup with 6 300AH batteries and around a 3kW BougeRV Yuma solar panels (that I also love), I can run my AC unit just on that. On cloudy days I can use my Honda EU2000i generator without any problems. I bought Breeze Max to control the unit over the internet / remotely and another thermostat, cheap Emerson battery operated, relay for heat only thermostat for my propane heater as the Furrion unit does not have ability to control the heater. The installation went smoothly and the unit works super well. Did I mention it's super quiet in the ducted mode? It's footprint (on the roof) is also much smaller than the Dometic. I am super happy with this AC, I will definitely use it a lot more than my previous Dometic unit as now I can, no more putting up with a 90 degree RV. Highly recommend this game changing product, if you are a boondocker, you need this!

Very efficient and quiet. I had a perfectly functional Dometic 13,500 BTU unit with soft start. It was extremely loud and used over 1700 watts of power. I have lithium batteries and solar and it wasn’t enough to run the Dometic. I’d get alarms from the inverter due to the voltage drop. It was also really loud, you can’t hear the TV when the fan was on. So I upgraded to this Chill Cube. Know that you’re going to need to buy the correct adaptor for ducted or non. Installation was super easy, half hour maybe for the non ducted unit with adapter since everything was already in place for the Dometic AC. The unit is very quiet. The best part is how efficient it is. It starts at a much lower wattage compared to the Dometic, I think the maximum power draw I’ve seen is 1,100 watts, and it usually ramps down pretty quickly to 800 watts, then 500, 300 and so on. I have 1000 amp hours of lifepo batteries and I think I can run for up to ten hours now on batteries alone without needing to turn on a generator. Where as before due to current draw and voltage drop etc I could maybe run for an hour on batteries alone. It’s also a lot quieter, the fan ramps up and slows down with demand. This is a game changer for me and will allow me to boondock with confidence. I take my dogs camping and this is peace of mind that if I lose power the batteries will keep the AC running for hours. I can also camp for several days only running the generator for an hour or two a day to recharge the batteries enough to use the AC. It’s nice to be able to camp and have AC without the generator running constantly. So far so good. Highly recommended. The price is very reasonable as well. It’s a no brainer compared to the old style systems especially when you add the cost of an optional soft start. The Chill Cube inverter always starts super soft and it’s easy on batteries and inverters. Update, I just camped for a couple days and did not have to use the generator. I only ran the AC for several hours but it hardly depleted the charge. It's so nice to have peace and quiet.

Was delivered in a beat up box but actual manufacturer's box inside the beat up box was fine, no damage. Installed unit.Problem #1, blowing out of the return instead of the duct. 1.5 hours on hold with manufacturer, long past their support closing time, finally killed call. They went home and left us on hold. Another hour and 20 minutes on hold next day, to be told that the duct adapter was facing the wrong way. Clearly states on the adapter with arrows and text " this end FORWARD". Well, it turns out that forward means towards the back window of the vehicle...... And no, it's not obvious which way around it should go when installing, hence following the big stamped markings.....Problem #2. Ran for less than an hour and a big noise and horrible vibration. Opened roof top unit and found a wad of insulating material had been sucked into the condenser fan and broke a blade off the fan. A velcro'd "blanket" that appears to go around the compressor. Obviously not installed correctly and destroyed the unit as a result.Another 1.5 hours on hold, warranty case started, email sent, told to respond to email with documentation, including photos, then call in to expedite because otherwise it might take 2 days to get to the email. Did that. Called in, ANOTHER hour on hold, to be told that Amazon carries the warranty for the first 30 days, so manufacturer won't help, even though it was their horrible quality control that caused the problem. Couldn't tell me that on the earlier phone call? Amazon says 2 days for seller to respond. Customer was supposed to use vehicle tomorrow. Still waiting for a response.

Not a review writer, but this is a review worthy item bought a couple other air conditioners that would not work in Arizona’s 115° weather this unit however has no problem dropping the interior temperature down in the 70s when it’s 110+ outside and it does so very efficiently as I am off grid using only solar and battery power And it takes a fraction of the energy than what the old dometic AC units and the like take to run. It’s colder quieter and more efficient. I definitely recommend just don’t forget to buy the necessary accessories kit as this is just ahead unit only happy camping.
