Elkhart RV Parts Is Among the First in the Country to Offer the New Furrion Chill Cube Heat Pump ACs — Here's Why That Matters

If you've been waiting for a smarter, more efficient way to heat and cool your RV, the wait is over. Elkhart RV Parts is proud to be among the first authorized dealers in the United States to stock the all-new Furrion Chill Cube Variable Speed RV Rooftop Air Conditioners with Integrated Heat Pump — and we have all four models in stock right now.

These aren't just incremental upgrades. The new heat pump-enabled Chill Cube lineup represents a fundamental shift in how RVers manage year-round climate control — and our proximity to Furrion's Elkhart, Indiana operations means we get access to new product lines before most of the country even knows they exist.

Why These New Furrion Chill Cube Heat Pump ACs Are a Game-Changer

Traditional RV rooftop air conditioners do one thing: cool. If you want heat, you're running a propane furnace, a separate electric heater, or just layering up. The new Furrion Chill Cube changes that equation entirely.

Cooling AND Heating — One Unit on Your Roof

Every unit in this new lineup includes an integrated heat pump, meaning your rooftop AC can now actively heat your RV using ambient outdoor air — no propane, no separate heating system required. The ducted models deliver up to 15,000 BTU of heating capacity, while the non-ducted models provide 12,000 BTU of heat. That's genuine four-season capability from a single rooftop unit.

Variable Speed Compressor Technology

Unlike traditional single-speed compressors that blast on and off, the Chill Cube uses a variable speed inverter compressor that continuously adjusts its output to match your actual comfort needs. The result is more consistent temperatures, dramatically lower energy consumption, and a much quieter ride — operating as low as 55 dB. For anyone who's ever been jolted awake by a rooftop AC kicking on at 3 AM, this is a revelation.

R32 Refrigerant — Better for Performance and the Planet

These units run on R32 refrigerant, which has a significantly lower global warming potential than the older R410A found in most RV ACs. R32 also transfers heat more efficiently, which contributes directly to the unit's impressive energy performance. This is the direction the entire HVAC industry is moving — Furrion is simply ahead of the curve.

18,000 BTU Cooling Power

All four models deliver a full 18,000 BTU of cooling capacity — enough to handle even large Class A coaches in peak summer heat. Whether you're parked in the Arizona desert or the Florida Keys, these units are built to keep up.

Whisper-Quiet Operation

At 55 dB or lower, the Chill Cube is one of the quietest rooftop ACs on the market. That's roughly the sound level of a normal conversation — not the jet-engine roar RVers have tolerated for decades.

Fits Standard 14" x 14" Roof Openings

The non-ducted models measure 27.5" x 27.5" x 11.5" and are designed to fit standard 14" x 14" roof cutouts, making them a straightforward replacement for most existing RV rooftop units. No custom cutting, no major modifications.

The Four Models — Find the Right Fit for Your RV

We carry all four configurations of the new heat pump Chill Cube, so you can match the unit to your RV's existing setup:

Why Elkhart RV Parts Is Among the First to Carry These Units

This isn't luck — it's geography, relationships, and commitment.

We're in Elkhart, Indiana — the RV Capital of the World

Elkhart County produces more than 80% of all RVs manufactured in North America. Furrion's North American operations are headquartered right here in our backyard. That proximity gives us direct access to new product launches, early inventory allocations, and the kind of supplier relationships that most online retailers simply can't replicate. When Furrion releases something new, we're often among the first calls they make.

We're an Authorized Furrion Dealer

Elkhart RV Parts is a fully authorized Furrion dealer. That means every unit we sell is 100% authentic OEM product, backed by Furrion's manufacturer warranty, and sourced through official distribution channels. You're not buying gray-market inventory or units that have been sitting in an unauthorized warehouse. You're getting the real thing, with full warranty protection.

Deep Partnership with the Industry

Our team has spent years building relationships with the top RV component manufacturers — not just Furrion, but Lippert, MORryde, Dometic, and others. We attend industry events, maintain direct supplier contacts, and stay ahead of product roadmaps so we can stock what RVers actually need before demand spikes. These new heat pump Chill Cubes are a perfect example: we saw them coming, secured inventory early, and we're ready to ship while other retailers are still waiting on their first allocation.

Heat Pump vs. Standard RV AC — Is It Worth the Upgrade?

The short answer: yes, especially if you camp in shoulder seasons or mild winter climates.

A heat pump is dramatically more efficient than electric resistance heating. For every unit of electricity consumed, a heat pump can deliver 2-3x the heating output compared to a standard electric heater. If you're plugged into shore power at a campground, running a heat pump instead of your propane furnace can meaningfully reduce your energy costs and eliminate propane consumption entirely for moderate temperatures.

The variable speed compressor also means the unit runs more efficiently at partial load — which is most of the time. Instead of cycling on at full blast and then shutting off, it modulates continuously, maintaining a more consistent temperature with less energy. Over a camping season, that adds up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these units replace my existing rooftop AC?
Yes. The non-ducted models are designed to fit standard 14" x 14" roof openings, making them a direct replacement for most existing rooftop units. The ducted models connect to your existing duct system.

How cold does it need to be outside for the heat pump to work?
Heat pumps are most effective when outdoor temperatures are above approximately 40°F. Below that threshold, efficiency drops and you may want to supplement with your propane furnace. For mild shoulder-season camping, the heat pump is ideal.

Is R32 refrigerant safe?
Yes. R32 is widely used in residential and commercial HVAC systems globally. It has a lower flammability rating than some alternatives and is handled safely in factory-sealed systems like these units.

Does the heat pump work while driving?
These units are designed for use when connected to shore power or a generator. They are not intended for operation while the vehicle is in motion.

As an authorized Furrion dealer, all units sold by Elkhart RV Parts are covered by Furrion's standard manufacturer warranty. Contact us via AI Live Chat for current warranty details on specific models.
