Advent Air 13,500 BTU Low Profile Design Advent Air ACM135LP -- Low Profile 13,500 BTU Rooftop RV Air Conditioner, White

A full-power 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner in a slimmer low-profile housing -- engineered for RVs where aerodynamics and campsite clearance matter. The ACM135LP fits the industry-standard 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 in. roof opening, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade for most Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel applications.

Full Cooling Power Without the Bulk

The Advent Air ACM135LP delivers 13,500 BTU of cooling capacity -- the most common RV rooftop AC rating -- while sitting lower on the roof than conventional units. That lower roofline profile reduces wind drag at highway speeds and lowers the center of gravity slightly, both practical benefits for towable and motorized rigs alike.

With a 500 CFM airflow rating, the ACM135LP moves enough air to cool a mid-size to large RV interior effectively. The unit features a built-in condensation dispersion system that distributes collected moisture across the condenser coil, improving efficiency and reducing water pooling or dripping issues common on hot, humid days.

13,500 BTU Cooling

Full-power cooling for mid-size to large RV interiors up to roughly 400-500 sq ft.

500 CFM Airflow

High-volume air movement for faster cool-down and even temperature distribution.

Low Profile Housing

Shorter rooftop height versus standard-profile units -- less wind resistance on the road.

Condensation Dispersion

Routes condensate over the condenser coil to improve efficiency and reduce drip.

Standard Roof Cutout Compatibility

The ACM135LP is designed around the industry-standard 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 in. roof opening used on the vast majority of RVs. If your current rooftop AC uses a standard 14 x 14 in. cutout, this unit is a direct-footprint replacement. No cutting or patching required in most installations.

What Is Included

  • ACM135LP rooftop condenser/compressor unit (white)
  • Mounting hardware and gasket for standard roof installation
  • Interior ceiling assembly (air distribution box) -- verify with your listing, as some configurations are sold as rooftop-only or as a complete kit

Note: A separate compatible thermostat or control kit may be required depending on your existing wiring and control setup. Confirm compatibility before ordering.

Installation Overview

The ACM135LP mounts through the existing 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 in. roof opening and bolts down with the included hardware through the interior ceiling assembly. Standard installation requires two people -- one on the roof and one inside -- to align and secure the mounting bolts. The foam gasket seals between the unit base and the roof surface.

  • Fits standard 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 in. roof opening
  • 115V AC power connection -- standard RV 30-amp or 50-amp shore power or generator
  • Roof thickness compatibility: standard RV roof construction (verify for thick or modified roofs)
  • Recommend applying Dicor or compatible lap sealant around the base after installation to ensure a weathertight seal

Electrical Requirements

A 13,500 BTU air conditioner draws approximately 12-15 amps at 115V AC at startup and 8-12 amps running. Ensure your RV's electrical system and campground pedestal or generator can support the load. Soft-start modules (sold separately) can reduce startup amp draw significantly for generator or multi-AC setups.

Maintenance Tips

  • Clean or replace the interior air filter every 30 days during heavy use seasons
  • Inspect and clean condenser fins annually -- insects and debris reduce efficiency
  • Check roof gasket seal each season and reseal with lap sealant as needed
  • Keep the area around the interior ceiling return free of obstructions for full CFM performance
  • Store a cover over the rooftop unit during winter storage to protect the condenser from debris and UV

Works Well With

  • Soft-start capacitor kits -- reduces startup surge for small generators
  • Replacement RV AC ceiling assembly/air distribution boxes (if interior unit needs updating)
  • Digital or programmable RV thermostat for precise temperature control
  • Roof vent covers for unit protection during storage

Important Information

  • Verify your roof opening is 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 in. before ordering. Non-standard openings may require additional modification.
  • 115V AC power required -- this unit is not compatible with 12V DC battery systems directly. A generator or shore power hookup is necessary for operation.
  • A 13,500 BTU AC unit is generally not suitable for simultaneous operation with other high-draw appliances on a 30-amp single-leg system without load management.
  • Roof structural integrity must be confirmed before installation. The rooftop unit adds meaningful weight to the roof -- ensure roof supports and RV structure can accommodate the load.
  • Improper sealing around the base can result in water intrusion and roof damage. Use a compatible lap sealant around the entire perimeter after mounting.
  • Always disconnect shore power before beginning rooftop AC installation or service work.
  • Soft-start accessories are strongly recommended for generator use to avoid overload tripping on startup surge.
