THIS IS INCREDIBLE! IT WORKS SO WELL! Bluetti with new Furrion Chill Cube RV AC.

[@BobKeefe]

I like when a bedroom A/C fan runs continuously. Otherwise when the fan restarts, it jars me awake. Plus it provides a background hum that covers campground noise.

[@Infernotaco15]

@@BobKeefe Exactly!!!

[@gcslade]

Wow, "Cool" that is exactly the results I was hoping for. We boondock often and run 600 watt solar and 4 Li batteries. The challenge has always been very limited capability to use AC. With these new units only drawing 1000 Watt range, we could finally use the AC's for a couple of hours to sleep on hot nights and without having to use a generator. Great review!

[@smabery16]

Neat hack to use your Bluetti. This weekend I plugged my Bluetti 200L into my small Honda 2000eu. Lo and behold it started my 15k ac with no problems.

[@scottw6046]

Not all residential mini splits have fans that run all the time. We own three different Lennox units that completely turn off fan and compressor when desired temp is reached. Kick back on when temp falls 2 or 3 degrees. We absolutely love them.

[@2hotscottpro]

What’s there btu and seer?I’ve heard about fan running all the time.Hey 300 watts for nothing isn’t right in my book.

[@scottw6046]

@@2hotscottpro The first one we had installed back in 2016. Its here at home and is a 1 ton unit. Rated at 23.5 SEER. We liked it so well we had one installed in my garage shop and another at our camp the following year. They were both 1.5 ton units with a slightly higher SEER. I cant remember the exact but it was mid 20's. The most amazing thing about them is the ability to blow 90+ degree air when its 10 degrees outside. No heat strips just heat pumps. The new ones are rated for below zero and even higher seer.

[@2hotscottpro]

@@scottw6046 thanks I’ll check them out.I’ve been looking a 38 seer 9k btu and 12k Btu at 30 seer.The 18k but sound about like you have,mis 20’s seer.

[@mattsade8860]

What's the wattage when 100% power and Turbo on? Trying to determine max draw.

[@k6jpc]

JD can you compare the power draw using the different modes? I see there is Normal, GEAR 75%, GEAR 50%, and ECO. Sounds like it controls the power draw of the compressor. I wonder how those modes translate with your Bluetti power station? "ECO/GEAR - Function Toggles between ECO and GEAR settings to control the power consumption of the unit to: ECO → GEAR 75% → GEAR 50% → Cancel"

[@s1vrbck_fitness]

That is cool!

[@MrCasket]

My variable speed systems are made to not shut off but run at the lowest speed possible to continually remove humidity

[@timrellis90]

Do you know if they’re gonna offer a version that’s convertible for ducted systems as well?

[@dbsmithy]

I have that in my 2023 Brinkley Z3100. I recognize the remote. Now if it would only warm up so I could use it. It’s very cool right now in R.I.

[@United_Kangaroo1992]

It's a different product. The one he has isn't available yet

[@BTBRVReviews]

Its the same unit that is available with Brinkley's

[@mgkleym]

@@United_Kangaroo1992 Its not available for after market installs currently but several RV manufacturers already have them.

[@2hotscottpro]

Good let them try them out first lol

[@stevephillips4173]

It runs all the time normally because it senses temperature thru the return air

[@Patricksmancave]

Hi JD! Got a question for you? how often do you go camping in your fifth wheel or travel travel? love the videos you make have a good!

[@BTBRVReviews]

First 2 years of the Brookstone (2021 model purchased in early 2021) we put around 15k miles on it. Last year we put around 2k miles on it. Total of around 20ish trips. Surveyor has been taken out and used about 15 times in the last 6 months. Around 5k miles. Haven't taken it on long trips.

[@vall545]

Great video! So how is this different from a “soft start” device you add to a traditional AC unit on camper?

[@dalenelson3707]

Quick question- did your original RV had two AC units on a 30 amp circuit?

[@thechroniclesofmaintenance4192]

Very cool !! (Pun intended)

[@myriadcorp]

You should have change the setting to drop how much power it pulls and checked your watts. Those have an option to decrease the power draw. It should be in the manual. I think instead of saying 75 it says 50 on the read out.

[@wiliamowens]

Have you had any issues with condensation dripping out of the air return? Mines been in the shop, I get no condensation on the roof, it all drips inside on the floor. They’ve check the drains and talked with Furrion, and Brinkley. Sounds like they are going replace the whole unit.

[@yarokobzar]

Hey JD, Love your reviews and your content. For this AC, do you know if it integrates with Jayco’s BMPRO system? Or is a complete standalone system? Would love to replace my ACs on my fifth wheel if they integrate into the BMPRO system just because of the convenience and integration.

[@BTBRVReviews]

As of now it would be a complete stand alone unit until they have integrated thermostat control.

[@yarokobzar]

@@BTBRVReviews appreciate the quick reply! Keep up the amazing work! Love watching your videos! God bless!

[@yarokobzar]

@@BTBRVReviews Do you know where they sell the new Furrion AC? I’m actually thinking of adding 3rd AC as a standalone in my fifth wheel for the kids bedroom. This setup would be perfect for it.

[@donmullins5805]

How well does it balance the temperature in the bunks? Do they get adequate cooling?

[@SuperMustangred]

On your manual control ac, can you add a remote thermostat control to it? Do you know someone sells a kit?

[@avallellanes]

Did you know the release date for the aftermarket unit? looking to install one in a enclosed trailer.

[@mrmped1]

I just talked to Lippert and they said it would be at least a year....I need two new ACs now, 😢

[@avallellanes]

@@mrmped1 I called Camping World and they called them and for an instance they where going to sell it until they transfer the rep to other person to complete the transaction and they declined :-S

[@mrmped1]

@avallellanes I talked to Pioneer, who makes mini splits about installing one of their units, and asked if I should install a ductless in the basement or a cassette in the ceiling. So I asked them about using two 120v units or one 240v unit. Then I suggested they should come out with units for RVs. They said they are and they will be available next year.

[@evanmartin7809]

How long until someone can actually buy it though? I asked Furrion and they said it exclusively sold to Brinkley and Grand Design

[@TheMagislayer72]

Any idea when these will be out for the aftermarket

[@theghostlyorb]

How does it effect the bunk space since it's non-ducted and only pointed towards the front? I want this to replace one AC on my toy-hauler, but just unsure since it's only pointed in one direction.

[@johnnycrompton2055]

Is this chill cube available now ? Thanks

[@jeremyrager6833]

But do they plan on making a ducted version?

[@RainbowTy]

JD how much power does the unit pull when the compressor is off and it’s just the fan running?

[@2hotscottpro]

What’s surge on startup?

[@BTBRVReviews]

About 1500-1800w on startup and 300 fan.

[@2hotscottpro]

@@BTBRVReviews what was surge on the one you took out ? I’m gone check my 15k like you had when sun goes down.Other wise it’s a guessing game from rays above with solar and my apps.Thanks

[@mattcruz5915]

efficiency wise, it still seems like it makes more sense to install a mini split over this unit. especially if you have to set up a separate thermostat for your furnace. ouch

[@BTBRVReviews]

Most mini splits have heat pumps and not furnace controls. Unless I've only seen ones without it.

[@GadgetB1]

I want to switch to this but its still not available 😢 take my 💰

[@charleslathan]

Would you put them on your other fifth wheel?

[@BTBRVReviews]

Absolutely. EXCEPT I'd need them to add an AUTO OFF feature. Otherwise no.

[@whitenas]

I appreciate your efforts in these videos, but for the people who are interested in fully off grid applications, can you do some "real world" testing? Possibly overnight kilowatt hour testing compared to standard air conditioner unit. Temperature readings. Your reviews are good and raise and answer good questions, but on this one, I think we need a little more science. Thank you.... wanted to add, I was disappointed to see that an air conditioning unit that probably costs 3 grand comes with the same remote my 500 dollar mini split does, but I guess it works.

[@jasenshore3586]

Nice but can it be set up to use with a ducked RV

[@str8up598]

Price?

[@chipsutcliffe7110]

How long to solar charge the two Buetti units (with your setup).

[@BTBRVReviews]

So, you can feed up to 1500watts I believe in BUT that's a TON of solar panels and a very sunny day. More realistic would be a portable solar panel system that's between 400-800watts. Would take about 4-5 hours to fill of your not using the system.

[@chipsutcliffe7110]

@@BTBRVReviews I think that is very doable. Functioning all solar RV's are on the way.

[@beltex63]

You need a soft start on the AC for a power station.

[@BTBRVReviews]

I have tested with a soft start and still not luck.

[@fredzuccarelli]

uggh.....but when?
