Frequently Asked Questions

A: This unit is designed for RVs with a 19'8" roof opening. Measure your existing roof opening or consult your RV's specifications to confirm compatibility before ordering. If you're unsure, contact our expert support team.
Q: What does Smart Leveling Technology (SLT) do?
A: SLT automatically adjusts the air conditioner's operation based on your RV's leveling position, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency whether you're parked on level ground or on a slight incline. This technology helps maintain consistent performance and reduces strain on the unit.
