How A/C Connect Came to Be | Our Story
Find out how KoolRV Solutions was started by a pair of RV lovers who noticed a problem with their RV air conditioner and solved it with a simple idea. Get to know the founders and learn how they invented A/C Connect.
Couldn’t get it to fit in my Coleman Mach 10 Q with the 12x12 filter, it might if you didn’t need to reinstall the plastic piece that the filter fits into.
I received this product today, and twenty minutes later it was installed working great. Following the installation, depending on the duct placement, I recorded an 18 to 44 percent increase in airflow. Thank you for a very efficient product.
I just received this product and it doesn't fit. The website isn't super helpful in determining if this will fit my Coleman Mach ac unit. The square opening is a little large and the ports don't reach on one side and they don't seem to be a proper fit into the vent holes. Help! It's supposed to be 110⁰ next week and I need every bit of cold air I can get.
I wish I had found this product yesterday, I just ordered the competitors Styrofoam block at $265 Canadian. I am torn between the 2 designs , I see pro's and con's to both. Pro for this install VERY quick and easy, Cheaper than the foam block and no need to take the retaining ring out like the other style. You are able to visually confirm all of the fan air is going directly into the duct holes since it's direct plug and play into the duct. The con to this would be sound deadening, I see the foam block as an added layer of insulation which will probably quiet down the whole AC system better. Since the only ducted AC unit in my 3 unit coach is the bedroom I would like it to be as quiet as possible. Over all with everything you have to look at with price and functionality I would have purchased this device and gave it a try. If I had needed more devices I was going to order them slowly so that I don't get sticker shocked right away. Fortunately for me the other 2 systems don't have ducts, unfortunately I won't be able to test out this device. Good luck and happy Glamping!
Our Brisk II system should work on both. Our test model was a 15k BTU Dometic Brisk II Evolution. This system will work on any Brisk II (Evolution included), Blizzard NXT and FreshJet. Hope that helps!
Met you guys at the Houston RV show. Really, it's the only reason we came haha! Thanks for the great conversation.. Super excited for you guys and one heck of a product you created. Just installed today and smiled the entire time. Keep up the great work, hope to cross paths again in the future.
Just to be clear, this mod will push air into the ducts only. The air that comes out of the vents in bottom of the unit will no longer be there, correct?
You are correct. Our system is designed to more efficiently direct air through your ducts. This pushes the air through your rig and away from your warm air intake. The dump exits right next to the warm air return so a lot of efficiency is lost because that cold air is immediately recycled. Our system allows the warmest air to be pulled through the AC while distributing it more efficiently and effectively through your rig, resulting in a cooler overall RV.
I didn’t have much luck with this option the part which actually attaches to the bottom of the AC unit cracked. Rendering it useless it’s a 3d printed part mine was quite brittle.
Hi Tommy. We’re very sorry you didn’t have a good experience with us. Did you reach out for a refund or replacement? We have a money back guarantee and will replace defective systems. Just let us know how we can make it right.
Installed today; easy peasy. Though watch out for those frame capture bolts; my trailer (and Brisk A/C) is from 1997. One of the bolts was apparently rusty and galled in the capture nut and I had to hacksaw it to get it off (lube 'em with anti-sieze before reinstalling). Now to go upstairs and drill/cut it out...grrrrrrr....
Thank you for the question! We are actively working on our Furrion system and hope to have one soon. You can sign up for email alerts at the bottom of our homepage to get notified when it is available. Have a great day!
LOL!!I spent ALL AFTERNOON on "rv flow" 200 dollar nightmare piece of foam,trying to line up duct holes and THEN trying to get that last 8 inch bolt in and ON AND ON.....THIS is the way to go!!THIS is AWESOME,ya'll!!I'm ordering this right now,i KNOW ya'll nailed it on this one after dealing with your "competitors"....i could sell AND install these,no problem!That would be really great side cash if ya'll do that sort of thing!....from Texas!(108 degrees today)...Brent
Is there a reason for not reinstalling the chute and divider? Does it hinder the system to work efficiently with those items reinstalled? Unfortunately I did not watch the video before installing because it was pretty straight forward. I did not have any issues reinstalling the chute and divider on my Mach Q. Wondering if I really need to take it apart again to remove. Thank you.
Hi Daniel! Great question. There is a benefit to removing the chute in that it allows more air to flow into the warm air intake more easily. But is it necessary to remove the chute? No. Your system will function just fine with it in place. Stay Kool!
@@danielnyberg23 Theoretically, yes. There would be less restriction on the air intake making it easier for the AC to pull air in, therefore easier to push air out. Will it be a large amount of difference? No. That is primarily driven by the direct connection from the AC to the ducts, but it will help.
I sent you guys a message I have Mach air in my unit but the interior piece isn’t the same it’s the older one with just one piece that comes down in the front for the filter, yet I have two rows of ducts… will this work?
I am going to install these on my Penguins when available. I have spent countless hours improving my AC systems. As well as making my own intake mufflers before the Wakos came out. Mine were a couple of DB quieter but not nearly as neat looking and the filter they provide is the best I have found. Cleaning up the poorly installed ceiling vents and making my own Pyramid of sorts on the output of the AC going into the ductwork made a significant improvement in air flow. As fot the divider they are recommending be removed, I cannot see a reason to do that other than it makes installation easier. The device might reduce the noise a db or two as well. One could add some insulation around the device before reinstalling the cover. I am waiting with bait on my breath. What a neat product. Can recommed another product as well since you have the mfgr ability. Make a plug for the intake that can be used from the roof access. Plug the intake so the condenser can be rinsed and water will not pour in. Just a thought but I would buy those for sure.
One of the things we are most proud of about our product is the reduction in energy use and therefore carbon emissions. We have not completed testing of our systems broadly but we have tested on our own rig. Prior to installing our system we could run our ACs on our generator for about 30 hours on one tank of gas. We can now go almost 45 hours on one tank. Currently we are hooked to power. We are able to cool our 45’ toy hauler using only one AC rather than both, something we could never do before. We are currently pursuing an independent study of energy savings to further demonstrate the positive affects of our systems. Thank you very much for your question!.
I have a Host 2011 truck camper. My AC is Dometic, a very small unit. The AC seems to work okay. I just need to know whether there is an Airflow unit for this dometic AC I have. I just wondered how your system would work for me. I have currently adapted myself to heat quite well , I think. I actually only connect my house current from @ noon till 9:30 at night. I then, distconnect my 30 amp house current for the night untill @ noon when the heat becomes very unbearable. During the 30amp was disconnect, for 15 hours, I knock down my electric bill by more than half. But at night my RV is still hard to keep cool. I leave my escape hatch opened, all my vents and windows opened , but still having a hard time removing heat from inside my RV. What do you suggest ?
Thanks for the question! We are finalizing testing of our prototypes in the next two weeks and will be releasing them for sale immediately following. You can sign up for email alerts at www.KoolRV.com.
But then it just comes out the vents.. so the actual unit won't blow air anymore out it's openings? Maybe a 3 way connection instead?? Or am I missing something?
Hi Gary! Thanks for your question. You are correct, the cold air dump will no longer function. There is an advantage to this. The cold air dump is located right next to the warm air intake. The cool air is being recycled right back into the AC. Not ideal. In addition, the increase in airflow by eliminating the turbulence in the plenum more than offsets the cold air dump. In our personal rig our stock setup only cooled us down 16 degrees from the exterior temperature. With the A/C Connect installed we now cool down by 23 degrees relative to the outside temperature! Hope that answers your question.
