Which Type of RV Air Conditioner Do You Need?
Are you looking to replace an RV air conditioner? Or perhaps you’re considering buying an RV air conditioner unit for the first time. Either way, choosing the right device is important. Your RV air conditioner should match your RV’s size and layout.
We offer:
- Low-Profile Units: Sleek, aerodynamic units that won’t weigh you down. Perfect for Class B motorhomes where fuel efficiency is key.
- Mid-Profile Units: Slightly bigger with medium-power cooling capabilities. An ideal option for mid-sized vehicles with a little more space.
- Standard Profile Units: Maximum airflow, maximum cooling. These RV air conditioners will combat high heat in larger RVs, even if they add a little more vertical clearance.

FAQs
What size RV air conditioner do I need?
It depends on the size of your RV and the climate in which you’re driving. In general, though, most RVs need between 13,500 and 15,000 BTUs.
Can I install an RV AC myself?
If you’re buying a replacement RV air conditioner that fits in the same cutout (maybe even the same model), then it’s fairly straightforward. However, new installations or electrical upgrades are best left to professionals.
What’s the difference between ducted and non-ducted ACs?
Ducted systems distribute air through ceiling vents for even cooling. Non-ducted blow air directly from the unit into the room.
Do RV air conditioners also provide heat?
Some do, yes. Many of our RV air conditioner models have optional heat pump or electric heat strip features. However, they tend to be less effective in very cold weather.
Are these units energy-efficient or compatible with solar setups?
Efficiency levels vary, but in general, yes. Running on solar is often possible but requires a large battery bank.
How loud are RV AC units when running?
Newer models are often ultra-quiet (barely noticeable). Others produce a steady hum similar to a household window AC.
