JD the rig! Why can’t someone make an interior like that demo rig. Man I love it! That huge couch, clean, bright uncluttered. Someone needs to copy that ❤
Finally! An inverter air conditioning unit for an RV. Something that has been standard in residential units, and residential refrigerators, for so long I can't remember when they were not a thing. About time the RV industry tries to say goodbye to the 1970's.
This is very interesting and will push other manufacturers in this direction. With the size of RVs we definitely need better / efficient cooling. Thanks JD for bring this info to us.
JD, I know I am one of those people that have been pushing for mini-split style AC/heat pumps in RVs. This has my attention, with caveats. What I absolutely HATE about current RV rooftop units is the changeover from HIGH to LOW speed and vice-versa. Why does the fan need to stop to switch speeds? These are the only systems that do this. Residential, window units, ducted split and mini-splits do not do this. If this comes in a heat pump system, ducted and solves the fan speed change issue, I'd be sold. I really, REALLY hope to see videos of you testing this.
It's not ducted and wont be. Furrion specifically designed it not to be a ducted system. A lot of RVs are switching to this unit in the main areas of their RVs.
@BigTruckBigRV it's still not available and it's September. I really want this new AC unit. Please, if you can get me someone that can sell me one, I would be so grateful!
if you find a nice, ducted solution, please reply here. I am about to put in a Mr. cool diy, but then how do I keep my tanks from freezing that requires propane heat running. I could wire in a fan only switch but why is nobody making a system that won't flood the roof when defrosting?
Being that this is something new for the rv world. I can't wait to see how much they improve on this already improved idea. I have 3 13,500 btu in my Alliance paradigm 385fl and would love to be able to replace the middle A/C (kitchen) with this 18K. It gets hot here in Texas. 👍💯
We own a Vanleigh/Vilano with the ducted A/C's. Hope they can come out with a unit to replace our Coleman Mach's. we want to add a mini split if not. Summer time help is needed.
That inverter drive is an awesome product. Personally I would never buy version 1.0 of anything, but once it gets out in the market and parts are available and Rv techs get used to working on them, this is an absolute game changer.
Well done review! Cant wait for the ducted version and smaller units to come out. Definitely a game changer. Now I can consider having my small rig with limited rooftop footprint setup for solar and boondocking. Giant leap for the RV industry.
As person that is in the process of building an off grid electrical system for my camper, I definitely am interested in this. I have a 44’ toy hauler and if I could have this 18k unit in the middle and run it off my inverter while boondocking would be awesome.
I’m a big proponent that 5th wheel need 3rd AC units. Ive upgraded every one I’ve had to this. Can’t wait until this becomes an option at the major rv centers.
Guess time wlll tell. Being a retired I/E tech certified in HVAC I understand some of what Saint is questioning. Can you access the coils for cleaning or service? Being new. "could be" parts availibility limited. What refrigerent is being used. Efficency would be much better in older equiment if the third world refrigerents were not contaninated. Kills compressors & piping pretty quick. I do appreciate your videos always. Have learned much from your knowledge & suggestions for safe towing. Thank you!
It was going to be exactly the upgrade I have been waiting for but cancel that because having all 18k BTU directly dumped in the same spot blows (pun intended). It might be efficient but if it isn't even ducted then the technology doesn't feel so luxurious. Hi, welcome to my giant beautiful 5th wheel that looks picture perfect but sucks to hang out in because the center is always freezing cold and the edges and bedroom barely cool enough to sleep in. Stick with a ducted solution.
Ducted units spread the heat/cool evenly over camper. With direct dump your main room is cooler then bedroom or bunkhouse. As for old ones needing bigger generator, testing shows otherwise. We run our 5th wheel 15k unit on 2000 Honda inverter. Our 3400 champion inverter will run our camper plus unlaws camper at the same time. If they want to bring something to market that has had more questions about it would be a fridge that is comparable to the residential fridge for cooling but that will handle the vibration of a camper. Biggest pain is replacing residential fridges through removing slides
Thank you so much for these video,s you did at Lippert. 🙏👏👏👏 Great New things coming out for RV,s AC solar is awesome, without adding more solar Equipment towards and existing Unit maybe ?
I’m building my own batteries and I build my pack to give me 24hours of ac run time with zero sun or charging. I’m in a small 19ft bumper pull. I’m looking forward to this unit as I’m not planning on shrinking my battery but rather just give me more run time. Most of the places I take my rig are only hot during the day and really when the sun is out. This unit will let me better match my power usage to my power production. This is now part of my modification plans
This is a great step, that's overdue. Over the next 5-10 years as new RVs come equipped with these, and some older RVs convert, hopefully we'll see some reduction in the demand impact on campground electrical grids during peak heat days. Not to mention, making it more feasible and affordable to run your AC when plugged in next to your home. Exciting.
Uncle Josh is the best! I really do appreciate that the RUclips RV community is one of the most open and cooperative there are. Edit: I wonder at the implications a system like this might have for the Class B market.
@@BigTruckBigRVlol Nothing to be sorry for, the world would likely explode if we had more than one RV Nerd. A collab or crossover video would be super cool though; Josh and Matt have even appeared in each others' videos and we've seen Matt here so...
It ticks MANY boxes for me. My primary surprise is that it is only ~40% more efficient than a regular old OE a/c. Many normal residential minisplits are 3x to 5x more efficient. I had a 37.5 SEER 230v 9k btu unit in my 5th wheel running 24x7x365 off my 1900w pv array and 7.8kwh LFP DIY battery for 4 years full-time living. But regardless of the efficiency expectation, this is certainly a game-changer!!!!
I think I heard him say that the 40% is at peak output........ the real savings will come when the unit is stepping down as the coach is cooled down....... I would expect that the numbers will be more like 60 - 70% compared a traditional unit..... only time will tell.
I’ve been wondering why something like this hasn’t been available in the market for a long time now. Coming from PR, I’ve seen the power of the mini-splits. They’re efficient, which is great for the expensive and limited power grid and they get cold. It’s all people use nowadays over there and the middle class now enjoys AC throughout their home due to the affordability and effectiveness of this technology. The RV industry is about to experience this same revolution and it’s going to be great!
Been checking for news on this product the last few months. Assuming its not crazy expensive I will be replacing the front ac on my 2001 class a motorhome with a chill cube. I have a non functional generac on board generator. The lower power draw on the chill cube means it should run comfortably off my multiplus and solar + alternator while in motion without draining my batteries. The forward facing direct dump is ideal for me because the hardest to cool area is the front cab with all its windows. I just wish it was a heat pump but I would be very surprised if that wasn't in the pipeline.
Im about to get the recpro but wish i could use the heat pump in lower temps like a true mini split. Also, wonder how i will keep my tanks from freezing in the winter. Circulate the propane heat fan using a manual switch?
I am so interested in this. I live in my rv full time and I am hooked into a generator for power so something that doesn't pull as many amps on hard start would be awesome. I know you are going to test it and I am sure that you will do a video on it, I can't wait because my units are 8 years old so they will need to be replaced soon and I am really interested in this. Thank you for showing this.
Wow, it is amazing the tech that is coming to the RV industry. I wonder how long it will take before we start seeing these in the less, but not least, expensive models out there.
I'm stoked to find this out. When its too hot or buggy to be outside it's annoying having to talk over the AC with friends and family. I have a fairly segmented camper, glad to hear they have a ducted version coming to market. Hope it'll have wifi. I use my easy touch stat to cool the camper down before we arrive.
The remote will probably be Bluetooth, but they have decent range now, but I like your thinking so you can 'remote' in and change your settings if your away.
I’ve been puzzled about why there haven’t been inverter/variable speed AC’s for RV’s. The ability to reverse like a heat pump for energy efficient non-propane heat would be nice.
We are looking to add a 3rd AC to our 41 foot 5th wheel because the two we currently have just don’t cut it. I might have to wait for this to be released and have this put in instead of the same thing we already have! Thank you for the info!
@@angelmiranda9222 @bigtruckbigrig where is the follow up to this question! I’ve been searching for the last few months since seeing this video, but cannot find them listed anywhere!!!!
It will only be a game changer if and only if it is as efficient as an actual Mini-split. I can run my mini-split 24/7 in my 39' 5th wheel. 16kwh of Lithium and 2740 watts of solar. In fact my mini-split is so efficient I can still charge my batteries on solar only while the unit is running!
He said on "normal" setting it will draw 10a or 100a @ 12v. My Mini-split only draws 600w (5 A @ 12v) on max and ramps down from there. We need to know the SEER rating of this unit to know if it is a game changer or not. Again...my Mini-split has a SEER rating of 20...so very efficient.
@enigma9789 I know, it had good potential. I think everyone will be making the switch soon, because once you have one that is varible speed and inverter you never want to go back.
Wow, that's great, lighter inrush for load, AND variable load sheading so you can tailor it to your solar supply. The fact that you'll be able to drop down to a tiny one for the bedroom will also be amazing for solar load management. Did they say end of year for release?
Recently purchased a Yoshino solid state B4000 power station for home and rv use. You might want to investigate this product. I am using it for home furnace backup and am going to run my residential fridge while driving my rv. It is half the weight and size of other brand units.
Great overview of a new to market product that could potentially change off grid A/C. If it had a reversing valve to also function as a heat pump, I think I'd be sold. That's the one area I believe a mini split still has the advantage.
Hey, one big thing no one mentioned - It's an inverter, which should mean it can also blow heat in the colder seasons. What is its minimum outside temperature to heat the interior? My Rockwood A-Frame has a Heat Pump (an Inverter, but not digital speed control) and I love it (one of the best features!) because I don't have to run the propane furnace in the shoulder seasons when you need some heat in the RV. I can set it on auto and it will either heat or cool as needed. It will pull heat down to about 45F. Below that I either run the furnace or use an electric space heater.
BOTH my Colman’s went out at the end of this past summer. My RV is almost 3 years old. Of course right at the end of the AC 2.5 year warranty. With it being winter, we haven’t replaced them yet, but will need to by June for sure. Would LOVE to replace at least my main living room AC with this new one! Any idea on when it’ll be available?
Surprised they didn't open this thing to show us the guts. To me it's important to see that for understanding. But id this comes in a dump (for my loft) and ducted, I'll buy 3 since I now have 3 on my Brookstone by you JD.
I've been in the planning stages for a solar and battery system for a 2 AC fifth wheel for a couple years. This could be the tipping point to get me in the game if they're not horribly expensive. The wattage for the 2 ACs pushes me away from victron inverters which causes a lot of other issues and is really the reason I haven't moved forward. Quick calculation, this would likely move me from a 6kva and 48v system to a 3kva 24v system. That also simplifies the solar array considerably.
Would love the small unit for the sleeper on my WesternStar, with solar and a good battery bank. This would cut down on running the truck engine all night. Please keep me in the loop. Rick
Great info 👍 it's really great someone is working on this, I was gonna do a minisplit, but this is better. Love that Fifth wheel, but is that fold down wall real or just for display 🤔
I would love to see how this performs in a van application and look forward to your testing on battery units. Will you be testing on the Bluetti systems? I have a AC300 with 2 B300 batteries on a RAM Promaster 159 window van in South Texas.
The 8K unit would be nice for truck campers, pop ups and small travel trailers.
JD the rig! Why can’t someone make an interior like that demo rig. Man I love it! That huge couch, clean, bright uncluttered. Someone needs to copy that ❤
Love the idea, Hopefully, it won't be cost-prohibited.
It will be.
A 10 for the interior. I’m so glad a significant percentage of manufacturers have moved away from the beige on beige on beige interior. 👍
*Imagine my surprise when a viewer tells me I made a cameo in one of your videos at a supplier without my knowledge* 😅
I was so confused man
Well, it's the only collaboration we've had brother :)

This is very interesting and will push other manufacturers in this direction. With the size of RVs we definitely need better / efficient cooling. Thanks JD for bring this info to us.
Love it!! Been waiting for a quiet system that pulls less energy for years. Absolutely stoked about this news!!
Something we need for our Battery and inverter/solar setups..!!
I like the variable output for smaller inverters and generators 👍
This is awesome. I'm also impressed by how much the sales guy knows about it. Good job!

Me too but......... I'd probably pay it if it was truly a game-changer👍
Surprised they didn't open this thing to show us the guts. To me it's important to see that for understanding. But id this comes in a dump (for my loft) and ducted, I'll buy 3 since I now have 3 on my Brookstone by you JD.
Very impressive
Wow 🤩
Awesome ‼️
I've been in the planning stages for a solar and battery system for a 2 AC fifth wheel for a couple years. This could be the tipping point to get me in the game if they're not horribly expensive. The wattage for the 2 ACs pushes me away from victron inverters which causes a lot of other issues and is really the reason I haven't moved forward. Quick calculation, this would likely move me from a 6kva and 48v system to a 3kva 24v system. That also simplifies the solar array considerably.
Love I saw josh the rv nard. Love his videos and I also like your videos to!
Great review but would have loved to heard how many required for different size rigs.
Great idea.
If it's like the variable speed ones in your home. They will be junk carry around a hand full of computer boards.
cant wait to see pricing and availability ,looks very promissing
Well i guess there goes my mini split plans lol
Would love the small unit for the sleeper on my WesternStar, with solar and a good battery bank. This would cut down on running the truck engine all night.
Please keep me in the loop. Rick
Great info 👍 it's really great someone is working on this, I was gonna do a minisplit, but this is better. Love that Fifth wheel, but is that fold down wall real or just for display 🤔
I think it's a converter side patio unit.
We will be watching for the ducted system.
Really awesome innovation!
Haven't really seen these available yet. How about the ducted system they said would come out this summer?
I want 3. Two of them with RV airflow systems.
I would love to see how this performs in a van application and look forward to your testing on battery units. Will you be testing on the Bluetti systems? I have a AC300 with 2 B300 batteries on a RAM Promaster 159 window van in South Texas.
These are on Brinkleys.
Not on Furions web.
@@2hotscottpro Trust me they are on Brinkleys. I have one.
