QUICK ANSWERS

Quick answers about this product.

Answers to common questions about installation, operation and everyday use.

Will this AC operate on a 20-amp breaker?

Yes. However, since this AC does not include a built-in soft-start module, an aftermarket soft-start device may be required to help reduce the startup surge when operating on a 20-amp breaker.

Can I run this AC on a 12V DC battery system or off-grid?

This is a 115V AC unit and cannot be connected directly to a 12V DC battery system. To run the AC off-grid using a battery bank, such as a Goal Zero power station or a lithium battery bank, you will need a heavy-duty power inverter with at least 3,000W of continuous output recommended. You will also need sufficient battery capacity to support the AC's approximately 13A running current.

Can I run this AC with a portable generator?

Yes, but the required generator size depends on whether a soft-start device is A: Yes. However, this AC does not include a built-in soft-start module. Without a soft-start device, we recommend using a generator rated at least 6.5 kW to handle the startup surge. If an aftermarket soft-start device is installed, a smaller generator may be sufficient, depending on the specific generator and setup.

Can I use this RV AC with a generator or off-grid power system?

Yes, but your generator, inverter, or RV power system must be able to support the air conditioner’s startup and running load. Please check your RV power setup before installation or use.

Can this 18K RV AC replace a 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner?

Is this RV air conditioner cooling only, or does it have heating?

The InstaCool Pro 180 18,000 BTU RV air conditioner is a cooling-only model. If you need both cooling and heat pump heating, you may consider the InstaCool Pro 180P.

What size RV is this 18,000 BTU air conditioner suitable for?

This 18,000 BTU RV AC is designed for medium to large RVs, including travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class C motorhomes. It is a good choice for RV owners who want stronger cooling performance during hot-weather travel.

Is this 18,000 BTU RV air conditioner ducted or non-ducted?

The InstaCool Pro 18,000 BTU RV air conditioner works with both ducted and non-ducted RV setups. It comes with an interior air distribution box, making it suitable for standard non-ducted installations while also supporting compatible ducted RV systems.

Can I use this 18K BTU RV AC for a fresh install?

Yes. The InstaCool Pro 18K can be used for a fresh RV air conditioner installation. Please make sure your RV has or can be prepared with a standard 14.25" × 14.25" roof opening, proper roof support, and compatible electrical wiring.

Does this RV AC come with the interior unit?

Yes. This rooftop RV air conditioner includes the interior air distribution box, so you do not need to purchase the inside unit separately for a standard installation.

Are open box RV appliances reliable?
