Furrion Chill Cube Compatibility with 2007 Tiffin Phaeton RV Solar Setup

Asked by JerryAsked on August 20, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

Can the Furrion Chill Cube ducted air distribution box and compatible rooftop AC unit be effectively run on a 2007 Tiffin Phaeton RV equipped with 800 watts of solar panels, two LifeBlue 12V 200AH batteries, and a Victron Multiplus II 3000 watt inverter for boondocking?

Expert Answer

The listed solar, battery and inverter capacities do not by themselves confirm that this RV can run the air conditioner or establish a three-hour runtime. Identify the exact rooftop AC, ADB, battery and inverter models and how the batteries are connected. The 2007 coach model does not establish the installed electrical system or equipment revisions.

The current 2024039645 rooftop unit and 2024040312 ducted ADB are catalog references, not a verified match to the equipment in the question. Lippert's CCD-0009327 manual, revision 08.25.26, lists the components separately; its page 21 gives 115V AC, 60Hz and 1,480W cooling power for the listed FACR18VSDA aftermarket models. That rating is not a measured average draw or startup profile for an unidentified unit.

Check the exact inverter label and operating limits. For example, Victron's MultiPlus-II 2x120V specifications distinguish 3,000VA from 2,400W continuous output at 25C and 2,200W at 40C for its 12/3000/120-50 model. Those figures do not identify or approve the inverter in this question. Other simultaneous loads, battery discharge/BMS limits, cable protection and installation conditions must also be checked by a qualified RV electrical installer.

Nominal battery amp-hours are not usable AC watt-hours. Runtime depends on the exact battery specifications and condition, permitted discharge, inverter losses, other loads and the AC's actual operating cycle. The 800W panel rating is not continuous charging output; sunlight, shading and charging conditions change the contribution. No exact runtime, continuous solar operation or inverter compatibility is confirmed here. Do not add an aftermarket soft-start device solely on the old recommendation; obtain approval for the exact variable-speed AC and device first.
