If you're in the market for a new Furrion RV AC unit, you're likely aware of the importance of choosing the right one for your needs. A good Furrion RV AC unit can make a huge difference in your camping experience, keeping you cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.
The Furrion RV AC unit is designed to be energy-efficient, using up to 30% less energy than traditional RV air conditioners. This is due in part to its advanced inverter technology.
When choosing a Furrion RV AC unit, consider the size of your RV and the climate you'll be camping in. A larger unit may be necessary for smaller RVs or for camping in extremely hot climates.
Choosing the Right RV AC System
You'll want to consider the size of your RV when selecting an air conditioning system. A 18K BTU system, like the Furrion Chill Cube Variable Speed RV Rooftop Air Conditioner, is suitable for smaller RVs.
The type of system you choose also depends on your RV's ventilation needs. Ducted systems, such as the Furrion Chill Cube Ducted RV Rooftop Air Conditioner Single-Zone Wall Thermostat, are ideal for RVs with existing ductwork.
The Furrion Chill Cube Non-Ducted Air Distribution Box is a great option for RVs without ductwork. It's designed to work with non-ducted systems, like the Furrion Chill Cube Variable Speed RV Rooftop Air Conditioner.
If you have a larger RV, you may want to consider a multi-zone system, such as the Furrion Chill Multi-Zone RV Air Conditioner Controller. This allows you to control the temperature in different areas of your RV.
The Furrion Chill Standard Single-Zone RV Air Conditioner Controller is a more basic option, suitable for smaller RVs or those with simpler cooling needs.
Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when choosing an RV AC system:
Ultimately, the right RV AC system for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Be sure to research and compare different options before making a decision.
Understanding RV AC Systems
An RV AC system is made up of four primary components: you'll need all four to have a complete, working system that cools down your rig.
These components can be purchased individually or in complete kits, and you can also buy individual AC parts to supplement your existing system.
If you're not sure which components you need, check out the air conditioner compatibility page for more details.
The Furrion Chill Cube Variable Speed RV Rooftop Air Conditioner comes in two models: a 18K BTU, ducted model, and a 18K BTU, non-ducted model.
Both models are available in black and white colors.
The Furrion Chill Cube Ducted Air Distribution Box is a necessary component for the ducted model, and it comes with a remote control.
The Furrion Chill Cube Non-Ducted Air Distribution Box is a necessary component for the non-ducted model, and it also comes with a remote control.
The Furrion Chill HE RV Roof Air Conditioner is another option for cooling your rig.
The Furrion Chill Multi-Zone RV Air Conditioner Controller is a great option for larger rigs that need multiple cooling zones.
Here's a list of some of the available components:

Selecting the Right Size and Type
When selecting the right size and type of Furrion RV AC unit, consider the size of your RV. A 13,500-BTU unit is suitable for small-to-medium-size RVs.
The cooling power of an RV AC unit is measured in BTUs, so a larger RV requires a more powerful unit. For a larger RV, you may need a 15,000-BTU or 18,000-BTU unit.
You can also consider installing two rooftop RV air conditioner units to ensure proper cooling capacity.

Ducted vs Ductless
Ducted systems use an arrangement of ducts or channels to distribute cool air throughout the RV, making them a popular choice for many owners.
However, this type of system can be more complex to install and maintain compared to ductless systems.
Ductless RV air conditioners, on the other hand, distribute cool air from a single entry point and rely on natural circulation to cool down the entire space.
This simplicity makes them easier to install and maintain, which is a significant advantage for many RV owners.

Determine Your Size Requirements

To determine the size requirements of your RV, you need to consider the space you're cooling and the power you'll need to keep it cool. The bigger the space, the more power you'll need.
A 13,500-BTU unit is a good choice for small-to-medium-size RVs, as it offers powerful cooling at less amperage. This can be a great option for many RV owners.
If you have a larger RV, consider upgrading to a 15,000-BTU unit or 18,000-BTU unit for more powerful cooling. Two rooftop RV air conditioner units can also be installed to ensure proper cooling capacity.
The size of your RV will ultimately determine the type of AC unit you need, so take the time to measure your space and choose the right unit for your needs.

The ADB is connected to the rooftop RV AC unit through an opening in the roof. Furrion's air distribution box, for example, has a 3-speed fan and sleep settings for optimal comfort.
A wall thermostat is also a crucial component, allowing you to control the temperature and fan speed from a convenient location. Furrion offers various wall thermostat options, including the Furrion Chill Multi-Zone RV Wall Thermostat, which features 3 fan speeds.
