We love the Chill Cube in our Brinkley Z 3100 for all the reasons you mentioned. So quiet and efficient 😊

@ZoeyR86 3 месяца назад

Black to ground red to 12v and the heat function is just a relay so if the furance kicks on when you tie the two wires together. Then just tie them to the brown wires.. If it needs a 12v signal and ground you can wire 1 of the brown thermostat wires to 12v the other brown to the furnace trigger and the ground to the black ground wire.

@EverythingRVbyPat 3 месяца назад

This looks like a great idea for a post-factory 2nd AC unit. You don't have to run the wires for a thermostat and it doesn't have to be ducted. Great installation video and I'm excited to see this in action in future videos. Thanks for sharing this one for us!!! Pat

@markreams3192 3 месяца назад

I like the low noise level of that unit. 18k btu is great especially here in inland California. I’m not as thrilled about the remote as you are. It’s another remote to lose!😂. I would like to see it designed with the option of using the remote or the wall thermostat. That would solve your furnace dilemma as well. Very nice install. If it were available without the remote and just a direct swap using the thermostat I would consider it in the future. The Furrion AC on my Surveyor is a bit noisy but works better than any AC I’ve had in the past. It was 90 degrees here today. There was no issue keeping the trailer cool and it didn’t run that much!

@RickRotondoPhotography Месяц назад

It looks like it comes with a wall mount, so you can just leave it on the mount so you don't lose it.

@bparkinson1234 3 месяца назад

Great video hey I believe the thermostats temp sensor is in the ac unit. Not the wall thermostat. One major flaw. Even the micro air and domestics do not have a thermistor. Please do a follow up video on how you are going to get the furnace to work. Thanks

@mgkleym 3 месяца назад

Awesome!!!! Just missing your power draw specs!!! We were just specing out residential install in 42 Grand Design RV. Will wait now!!

@gkurts 3 месяца назад

I'm going to replace both units on our Jayco Eagle 355mbqs... it has their "whisper quiet" ducting which is actually quieter than most but not by much. I'm seriously considering abandoning the ducts for the living room unit and only using the ducts for the bedroom unit since they're all connected. That would keep 100% of the living room air in the living room and ducting from the bedroom into both the bedroom, living room, and bunk room (put a booster fan on the bunk room - massive improvement!). Anyway, I'm really looking forward to future reviews! Thanks!!

@ansupal440 3 месяца назад

I have seen various Variable Speed Inverter AC for houses in past and with great advantage on power, generally they do not last long. Not related to RV , talked to a few mechanics and they love to replace controller boards or the unit at a full price. If used sparingly and costs the same as the older design then yes they might be the rite fit for someone.

@wconradjr 2 месяца назад

I’m surprised and impressed that they used wagos.

@jeffhagberg6796 3 месяца назад

I'd love to have that in a ducted heat pump system . My older AC is ok but that would be great! Getting back to your thermostat controller for heat you might need to either use the relay box you took down or put a 2 wire digital thermostat on it and figure out what wire goes where.

@rracerguy 3 месяца назад

I just used separate standard / mechanical 2 wire thermostat to control furnace, when i upgraded like 3 years back to Atwood Ducted 16K AC with heat pump that has its own hardwired controller.

@bishopgeorge1333 3 месяца назад

Nice install, I would love to do the same thing to my 5th wheel and I see how easy it is minus getting it up top.

I was hoping that you weren’t gonna accidentally hit those solar panels. Nice eyeballing that from the mini-ex. Noticed the wind picked up. Wondered if it wasn’t gonna rain on you. You gonna make a follow up video for the furnace?

@aaronbritt2025 3 месяца назад

Love the concept. Unfortunately, I have to use low profile A/C units (Penguin 2) because of the height of my rig. If I don't, I won't fit under low bridges. @16:35... The way you get it out is by using two hands. You really need a tripod.

@MrCasket 3 месяца назад

Ive been waiting for years for this!! As an air conditioning technician for 20 years this has been a big day coming! No more mini splits! Although I would like a heat pump. Being a specialist in large variable speed systems this is exciting. Have they released a date for the heat-pump system as of yet?

@BigTruckBigRV 3 месяца назад

I was told July

@patw889 3 месяца назад

I’m guessing July for a ducted model?

@sgj4aj 3 месяца назад

So this unit has the air flow in the direction of the front of the RV, is this correct? I think I will be installing this on my 2016 Keystone Hideout which has one of the loudest AC units I have ever heard. No thermostat controls so it is simpler on the wiring than yours with the wall mounted thermostat control. The biggest challenge will be on and off the roof. 😊 Thank you for this video.

@JustinKingOffroad 3 месяца назад

another idea for your furnace that i think i'm going to tackle this year too, you can just install a traditional millivolt thermostat on the wall that doesn't require any jumping of 12 volt to anything. where grand design placed my t-stat in my 2600RB makes the furnace short cycle. it's literally right across from a heat duct, very annoying to have it turn off and on all night rapidly. so i want to run a wire directly up the wall and put it above the kitchen sink that has no direct heat blowing on it. also i assume they're coming out with a ducted unit?

@smonroeh 3 месяца назад

I believe you should just be able to tie the furnace wires to the old thermostat wires, I would pick the white and red, then replace that digital thermostat with an old-school analog one

@haydenbaldwin7453 3 месяца назад

I want to put one of these in my 2001 Airstream when the time comes. Need the heat pump version and to wire it so i can control the factory furnace from the thermostat separately!! Any insights would be appreciated.

@doughdfzr 3 месяца назад

Any news on the small version the mentioned? Would be great for a truck camper!

@DSAK31 3 месяца назад

I'm just curious why you didn't replace the 2nd unit that you have installed over the main unit. Seems like the 2nd unit would have been more "plug and play" over replacing the main unit since it has the controls on the unit itself.

@OUSWKR 3 месяца назад

What’s MSRP on that unit? I have a pop up that is pre wired for an ac unit. I’m trying to decide on either doing a couple of things to it to make it more user friendly or upgrading to a different camper.

@MarkBurch0704 3 месяца назад

As an owner of a 2004 class A with 30A service, I've been very interested in something like this. My question is, with the AC even in your placement in front of the bedroom where the air is blowing away from it, how do you actually cool the bedroom? On my class a, the rear AC is next to the AC and front toilet in front of the bedroom. I also have a duct system which looks like it will be unusable

@mark98070 Месяц назад

It looks like the conditioned air will only be distributed to the front of your rv! Have you been out yet to give it the real world test? Also supposed to be efficient so will it operate with a 2000 watt generator?

@javabean215 Месяц назад

I thought I heard you say that you're reusing the original control box. In that case, there's no reason to disconnect DC, 120v or heater (or thermostat for a remote thermostat unit); just leave them all wired and let the control box dangle. You only need to disconnect the rooftop connector from the control box. That saves several steps, and minimizes the possibility of screwing up wiring. Of course, if you're using a new control box, then you do have to disconnect all of that. For the wall thermostat and heater.....take +12VDC in the overheard, wire it to red to thermostat. Blue from the thermostat should go to -12VDC (aka, "ground"). White from the thermostat will go to one leg of the heater; and the other leg will be tied to -12VDC/ground with the blue t-stat wire. So red and blue send 12VDC to the t-stat. When the t-stat calls for heat it sends 12VDC down the white leg to the furnace. Some furnaces are sensitive to polarity, so you may have to reverse which furnace lead goes to white from the t-stat and which goes to -12VDC/ground.

@moose7993 3 месяца назад

Just curious why you didn't just replace that other unit with this one so you could still control your furnace without having to rewire it?

@ashtaris2965 3 месяца назад

Seems to me that Furrion could have just as easily provided furnace connections and use the same remote for both functions, cooling & heat. Having so that you have to power the furnace separately seems like an oversight on their part.

@kevinboog9576 3 месяца назад

Ok you said you have the auxiliary cool unit. I am going to assume that it was not a heat pump and is just conventional cooling units we are wiring. You also have the heater. I suspect that the 2 wire lead goes to the heater. The second 5 or 7 wire cable may go to the auxiliary ac. The last wire set goes to the thermostat. You also had the main 12v wire red and black. First verify the 2 wire connection at the furnace I suspect one wire was ground and the other wire is positive voltage supplied from the tstat to turn on the ignition for the furnace. Very rare to have a wire that would just turn on the furnace blower motor. But worth inspection. Thermostat wires are usually red 12v positive. Black is common groundand would connect to C not G terminal. W is heat usually white wire. In cooling mode the yellow wire turns on the ac and the green wire turned on the fan. In heat mode the white wire from the Thermostat W would connect to the red wire on the 2 wire cable going to the furnace and the white wire would go to ground or C. Again verify that the heater only required power and ground. Their is a 25% chance that a blower signal was sent on the white wire to the furnace. That should provide restoration of heat on the thermostat. Now a bigger question the auxiliary ac was it tied into this tstat as well. If it was it could be tied to a different color wire coming from the tstat. Check the stat for the yellow wire. If their is a terminal block on the wall that the stat plugs into it it would be y1 is yellow to the first stage of cooling if their is a y2 what ever wire it is was likely used to😅 power the auxiliary ac. I did see in the video that a blue wire was in use. When y1 is active the first ac turns on then on a timer in the stat at a further rise in temperature the y2 would bring on the second stage of cooling. Possible the blue wire was the auxiliary cool. You can connect the auxiliary ac to y1 and the fans are controlled on the G terminal and usually have a green wire control the fan for manualair movement. NOTE Ground is marked as C as in common. Hopefully this helps. If it is a heat pump system their are other wiring senerios. 😅 and the blue wire is what changed it from heat to cool mode and depending on the heatpump it could be powered too energize the reversing valve putting it in to heat mode and the gas furnace could be a second stage or auxiliary heat.

@justtruckn 3 месяца назад

what about duct systems

@joshuajimenez6019 3 месяца назад

My question: is it worth all the trouble of buying one and having to replace it? How much more efficient is it? Can it actually cool your trailer? We have a 2023 flagstaff 832bws and it has two ACs and we cannot run our acs in the summer because our bill will be $500 a month and they wouldn’t even cool the trailer down. We have to run. Big old swamp cooler that so loud. I guess I’m saying I don’t want to get hyped about the product and go buy 2 to replace our Coleman machs and it not even make that much of a difference

@WillHenry-m6u 16 дней назад

They dont cool and cost you so much money because the colman mach ac units are the cheapeast and worst units in the rv industries between my parents and mine we have replaced 5 any other unit would be better and sounds like you need 15k btu units for both.

@cwtex59 3 месяца назад

@robertrios9982 3 месяца назад

Yeah this is great in all. But what about the people who are sleeping in the bunk how do they get air flow to them? When I sleep in my bunk I like to have the air directed on me. With this model it doesn't look like any one staying on the bunk side we'll get any air. It looks like by the time the people sleeping in the bunk would be cool the people sleeping on the bed where the air flow is directed would be freezing. So this doesn't seem like a good idea for everyone.

@timothywright8323 3 месяца назад

@lukeroetling8543 Месяц назад

How stupid to make the technology everyone needs but to put in in a direct dump only system. Because an 18k BTU unit is so cold that is all the more reason it should be ducted. If RV's are large enough of course they can't be evenly cooled by direct dump. If they aren't to large for DD then they are to small for an 18k BTU unit. If they make a ducted version this product is gold but until they do I know I wouldn't consider it.
