Furrion 18K Chill Cube Ducted vs Non-Ducted RV AC Compatibility

Asked by PaulAsked on September 2, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

Can the Furrion 18K Chill Cube non-ducted AC unit work with the Furrion 18K Chill Cube ducted air distribution box, or do I need a fully ducted AC unit for proper ducted airflow in my RV?

Expert Answer

Do not assume that any 18K Chill Cube rooftop unit can use any ducted air distribution box. The question does not provide the exact rooftop and ADB item numbers, so the proposed combination has not been verified. A shared brand, capacity or connector appearance does not approve a ducted conversion.

For current aftermarket examples, Lippert's ducted manual CCD-0009327 identifies FACR18VSDA-PS-AM / 2024039645 and FACR18VSDA-BL-AM / 2024039646 with required FACT18VSDA-PS-AM ADB / 2024040312, sold separately. Its air-distribution installation section requires Furrion's written approval for alternate configurations. The non-ducted manual CCD-0009328 instead identifies FACR18VSSA-BL-AM / 2024039631 and FACR18VSSA-PS-AM / 2024039637 with required FACT18MA-PS-AM ADB / 2024040311, sold separately. These model-specific pairings do not establish an approved cross-configuration for an unidentified unit.

Match the complete model, item number, refrigerant/generation, controls and duct installation to the applicable manufacturer documents before installation. The 2024039645 ducted rooftop listing and 2024040312 ducted ADB listing are identification references. Do not proceed based on the old assurance that the existing setup will work. Any alternate configuration needs exact manufacturer approval; shipment status does not establish compatibility or return eligibility, and no replacement, exchange or return outcome is promised here.
