UPDATE: After using it for a while it did work well for us but I would say that it was average and nothing that was more efficient or better at cooling than other RV AC units we have had. It was quieter than our last one but not as quiet as the Colman Mach we have with the RV Air Flow System. I hope this update helps.

Did you update your thermostat from that Honeywell you used in the video? If not, which model is the one you used, because that's not the same as the link you provided in the description. We bought TWO brand new Furrion thermostats, and neither one of them will power up. So, we connected our analog Coleman Mach to the control box, and it powers up but won't turn the a/c or the furnace on. Not sure why, because we know for a fact we have other wired correctly. So, I need to look over everything, for the hundredth time, to see if I missed something. 😕

@Stubones999 Жыл бұрын
If you turn on the AC to cooling, it will start the inside fan first, and then start the compressor a few seconds later. That lowers the initial inrush current to start the unit. The inside fan always be running, and the compressor and it's fan will cycle as needed. I have talked to a few Furrion users who didn't like it because "it freezes over" and found they didn't read the instructions and failed to install the hot / cold divider part while they mounted the A/C unit. There is a curved plastic part that separates the hot and cold sides of the unit. The curved plastic part is supposed to be adjusted based on the thickness of the ceiling, and the top edge pushes into the foam under the outdoor unit. If you leave off the plastic part, the air will get colder and colder and eventually freeze up the unit...

I don't know if this is a recent issue or a long running one with all Furrion ACs? I had to return the first one because it was completely smashed inside the box!!! the second one both Camping World and myself inspected the replacement, we didn't pull it out of the box we just checked visually If it looked damaged, went I got it back to my camper it was still over 100°f out in the New Mexico desert. I got it unpacked on the roof and sure enough it had some broken clips on the one side that could not be seen while In the box. I am waiting on Furrion to send both the upper and lower covers. reading lots of reviews this is a very common issue, the manufacturer doesn't package them very well!!! a oxymoron on Furrions website says they are built extremely durable to handle harsh environments life on the road. this might be true once you find one that's not damaged and get it installed. they are about 100lbs not a easy thing to get on a RV Roof! becides that I'm happy with its performance so far. oh one more issue if you get the complete system, AC, Air Box, Control Module, and thermostat and have a curved roof the Furrion cover might require some modifications to get it to fit properly! I have tape along the edges to seal it up until I engineer a solution. they are definitely not plug and play with the problible damaged units requiring it's removal from the roof and getting another up there and the old ones removal, and the Vent cover design of your roof is curved like the one in my 2019 Winibago.

It sounded like a jet- I solved that by putting a 1/8" board with 1/8" Styrofoam (shipping Styrofoam) glued to it. cutting it 1/2" larger than the hole, slipping it up inside the hole and screwing it down where it was inside the hole. Now it is permanently ducted and very quiet. Now we can talk and hear each other.

I question if this is upgradable from its current A/C to a heat pump. The only real difference between a heat pump and a A/C is a reversing valve for the refrigerant. So instead of blowing cold air in & hot air out, it is reversed to blow hot air in & cold out. This would require reclaiming current refrigerant, adding a reversing valve & recharging. I replaced our Coleman A/C with the Coleman HP2. It required the roof unit plus a new controller for the added option and we had to replace the thermostat as well. We love it, it cuts down on propane use, but it does have limitations, usually below 45 degrees it does not work well, and then thermostat will turn off the heat pump and will kick on the propane heater. Appreciate your videos.

Greta video as always - one thing that is missing in your description that may be impacting others seeking to go to a real thermostat with an on thermostat thermistor. Use the wire that is for analog thermostats - i had stored my cable and forgot about it, so your description of clearly labeled wires made no sense, after accidentally running into the wire it all made sense - it plugs into the 6 pin connector right next to the dip switches on the furrion chill control board - the wires are (gas) furnace, (H)igh fan, (L)ow fan, heat pump (not applicable), (COM)pressor , (GND) - hope this helps others that may have removed/trown out the analog thermostat wire harness and forgotten about it. Don’t forget to flip the analog/digital dip switch to analog and cycle ac and dc power. Can’t wait for the furrion room air temp sensor induced short cycling to be a thing of the painful past and to have the fan turn off when not running the compressor and have all of this using a normal battery powered house thermostat. Thanks for the video convincing me it is possible.

So I wired in a Nest programmable thermostat to my RV furnace about a year ago. I was going to do a video or a blog post, but never got it done. I do have pictures, and schematic. Depending on which version of the nest you get (the cheaper one requires wiring in relays) both require transformers. I never did find any info on the internet on how to do it for a RV furnace. I did find some info on doing it with a pellet stove, and found some more info on a different application, but with the RV you have to do the relay. Anyway if you are interested in wiring one in your RV let me know and I can get you the info. Then you could make a video on it. :-) I love it because I can see what the temperature is in my RV remotely. I can schedule it to come on and off in an app, and I can use a remote nest sensor in my basement near my water hookups, to make sure they don't freeze.

Or, to run your air con off the Battle Born battery array with a 3,000 watt Victron inverter that you installed.

I decided to upgrade my 2016 RV using Furrion equipment earlier this year after both, lightly used Coleman AC’s died. There are a few IMPORTANT things to know before you run out and buy one of these units. I wish you (anyone) would mention the following hurdles one will encounter. 1. Be sure to order “The Kit”. Furrion products are sold separately. Don’t make the mistake I did. I’ve been ordering parts since April and my Furrion Chill still isn’t running. 2. Furrion A/C’s are not compatible with other RV thermostats. Wires must be pulled from the unit to the original thermostat location. This is not a DIY undertaking. Summer is upon us and getting a professional to wrap up this upgrade is not fun.

It really doesn't sound that efficient. Btu's cooling ÷watts=EER, so 15,500÷1720=9.0 Energy Efficiency Ratio. A descent window ac for a home is usually around 11-12 EER. The higher the better. With all these ac units using the more efficient R-410a refrigerent, 9.0 is absolutely nothing special. It's very true that more efficient compressors cost more so a bargain unit will have average efficiency. With so many campers out there using generators, I'm one person that would pay a bit more for a more efficient ac unit.

Say man are you giving this information to be helpful .because that distribution box is terrible it restricts all the air from the a/c causes the ac to freeze up .and I am finding it hard to believe that you dont know this

You indeed appear to be one of few people with a freezing issue. Can you post more details about your installation?

What about soft start? I've heard some manufacture's systems either have them or are designed where you cannot use them. If everyone used soft start for their AC, power draw at parks would be less, there would be less voltage drops and it would save park operators on their electric charges.

On the main Furrion website. It alludes that their ACs are so efficient that they are basically soft start. He touched on that briefly, but, then a caption said he was getting a soft start???? I'm looking at Furrions for the fact that RV ac design hasn't advanced much in 40 years. A modestly prices energy star window AC with a high EER is available. Why aren't efficient rooftops? Furrions may be close, Im looking at them, but, let's see.
