RecPro RV Air Conditioner Low Profile 9.5K Non-Ducted | Optional Heat Pump | Quiet AC | Cooling Only | RV AC Unit | Camper Air Conditioner (Do Not Include Heat Pump, Black)

Quiet operation and easy installation. For me, the only thing I do t like a lot is that when on, the fan is always on, it doesn’t shut off when temperature is at the setting. But still, it is pretty quiet

Overall I really like this AC. It's reasonably quiet considering it's a few feet from my head when in use in my camper. I can carry on a conversation easily even on high fan, however low fan is a lot better. It cools my truck camper well. The vent setup is great. The louvers have a large swing range such that the outlet facing away from the main living area can be pointed down and a little backwards, directing air into the living space a little. Or when I need it for the upper bed then point it straight out as normal.Installation was easy enough but not without some issues. First the manual is downright stupid. It tells you to make a wood box under the external mounting flange. ??? I had to call the company to learn that this instruction is for non-flat RV roofs. In that case you need to make a custom solution to make it a flat mounting surface. The manual doesn't mention that at all. The second issue is the sealing method they recommend of one bead of caulk under the mount seems insufficient. The exterior flange frame is only held down to the roof in the 4 corners so it relies on the stiffness of the plastic frame to seal against a non-perfect RV roof along each side. I drilled two holes in each side and used ss screws to force the bracket evenly against butyl tape, then used self-leveling caulk around the outside like is normally done for vents.The current rating they give is worst case. They say 14A max, I measured startup at 13A but my meter is probably too slow to see the real peak so 14 is believable. One bad thing is it turns on the condenser fan before the compressor, adding an unnecessary 1A load to the peak. It should turn on a few seconds after the compressor. The run current is about 7.5A on high. The cabin fan is trivial, changing by less than 0.5A from low to high. I ran the AC on a little inverter generator rated at 1800W run and 2500W peak (Champion). It handled the load fine but start up is too much to run in the quieter eco mode so I had to turn it off and the generator ran at high RPM even when the compressor was off. Bummer. That's more a characteristic of the gen than the AC, maybe the popular red gen is better.The manual also doesn't point out that the features explained for the remote are only supported by some models, for example heat. The info is there but not obvious at first.

Our small (19 ft) trailer came equipped with a 15,000 btu unit that cooled exceptionally well, but generated so much noise that we couldn’t carry on a conversation, watch TV or listen to music while inside our RV. This 13,500 btu unit cools just as well, but is MUCH quieter and has the advantage of a digital thermostat which allows setting a specific temperature — rather than the non-specific manual dial which was on our previous unit. The remote makes it super-convenient to use. It has a soft-start feature also, which should allow us to use it with our 3500-watt generator when we go off-grid (although we haven’t actually done that yet). One of the things we discovered on our “maiden voyage” with this unit was that there seems to be a longer delay before the unit kicks in when temperatures rise above the temperature we’ve set. Because this is a non-ducted unit and the thermostat resides within the interior plenum and quite close to the condenser itself, it’s understandable that there would take a bit longer for the thermostat to register the actual interior temperature. For us, this is a minor issue. It keeps the RV plenty comfortable in hot weather, has a much lower noise level, allows us to set a *specific* temperature and can be used off-grid with our generator. We’re very happy with this unit.

I bought this and had it professionally installed in April, 2024. I've probably used it a total of 15 times on occasions, the heat maybe 5 times total. Now, the heat pump only works when it wants to. If it doesn't work, it tries to start, then it sounds like someone dropped a brick on the roof & it shuts down.I guess this week, I'll find out how the warranty is supposed to work! Not happy about it at all.

Installed and blowing cold, very quiet compared to other brands I’ve observed.I had a hiccup with shipping through Fed-ex, completely not Rec pros fault. The shipping company sent it across the country twice before it got to me.Packing was great, no damage in shipping.My contact at Rec Pro went over and above, replied to my emails within the hour, and was willing to make sure I got my unit and was satisfied or he was going to make good on the situation! 5 stars!!!!

We've had 9 RVs and this is by far the worst AC unit we've ever had. I could write all day about the many infuriating things about this unit but the bottom line is do yourself a favor and buy a different brand. All of the selling points they tell you on here are not true and even if they were, the good wouldn't outweigh the bad.

Very quiet compared to my Coleman pop campers stock unit. Was pretty easy to install on my van. I really like how the vent are adjustable to blow out and all the way to up and down position. The slim version look pretty sharp on top of my van.

Recpro is my go to replacement A/C units and do the upgrade to heat pump as well living full time in South Texas these are great units. The heat pump works great until you get close to 30°F we do not have many of those days.
