Furrion Low Profile RV Air Conditioners

What BTU ratings do Furrion low profile RV air conditioners come in?

Furrion low profile RV air conditioners in this collection are available in 13,500 BTU and 15,500 BTU configurations. The 13,500 BTU units are suited for RVs up to approximately 250 square feet of living space, while 15,500 BTU units handle larger floor plans or rigs that see sustained heat above 95°F. Check your RV's roof opening dimensions and existing wiring before selecting a unit. If you are also comparing ducted and non-ducted Coleman options, see our Coleman Mach RV Air Conditioners collection.

What makes Furrion low profile air conditioners different from standard RV rooftop units?

Furrion low profile units sit closer to the roofline than conventional rooftop air conditioners, which reduces wind resistance at highway speeds and lowers the overall roofline height. This matters for RVs stored in garages or campgrounds with height restrictions. The reduced profile does not compromise cooling capacity; Furrion units in this collection use the same standard 14-inch x 14-inch roof opening as most rooftop air conditioners, so they fit existing cutouts without modification. For heat pump options from Dometic that offer both heating and cooling in one unit, see our Dometic RV Air Conditioners with Heat Pumps collection.

Are Furrion low profile RV air conditioners compatible with soft-start kits?

Yes. Furrion low profile air conditioners are compatible with aftermarket soft-start kits. A soft-start kit reduces the compressor's inrush current by up to 75% at startup, which allows the unit to run on a 30-amp shore power connection or a smaller generator without tripping the breaker. This is particularly useful for boondocking with a generator. Confirm the soft-start kit's amperage rating against your specific Furrion model before ordering. If you need a generator to power your air conditioner off-grid, our RV Generators collection covers options sized for RV air conditioning loads.

What roof opening size do Furrion low profile air conditioners require?

Furrion low profile RV air conditioners use the industry-standard 14-inch x 14-inch roof opening. Before ordering, measure your existing roof cutout and confirm the gasket dimensions included with your specific unit. If your RV currently has a vent or skylight in that location rather than an air conditioner, verify that the opening dimensions match before purchasing. For rectangular skylight replacements in other roof openings, our Rectangular Skylights collection may be relevant if you are working on a secondary roof opening.
