It runs on R32 refrigerant, works ducted or non-ducted, and delivers dependable cooling for travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. Cooling only, 120 volt, and built by a name that's been cooling RVs for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coleman Mach 3 DQ is a 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner built to drop straight into a standard 14 inch by 14 inch roof vent opening. It's one of the workhorse cooling units for travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes, and this version runs on R32 refrigerant, the newer lower global warming potential refrigerant Coleman has moved its rooftop line to. White top, black shroud, 79.5 pounds of solid cooling hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13,500 BTU rating puts the Mach 3 DQ right in the sweet spot for most RVs. That's enough cooling to keep a mid-size travel trailer or a single-zone motorhome comfortable through a hot afternoon, and on larger rigs it's a common choice for the main living area with a second unit handling the bedroom. In really punishing heat, upper 90s with direct sun on a dark roof, any single 13,500 unit is going to work hard, so shade, good insulation, and keeping the doors shut all help it keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Mach 3 line easy to live with is the flexibility. You can run it ducted, pushing cold air through your rig's existing ceiling ductwork, or non-ducted with air dumping straight down through the ceiling assembly into the living space. Smaller trailers usually go non-ducted. Larger coaches with multiple registers run ducted so the cold air actually reaches the back bedroom. Either way, this same unit handles it. You just pick the matching ceiling assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's talk power, because this is where people get tripped up. The Mach 3 DQ is a 120 volt unit with a 13.1 amp compressor draw. On shore power at a full-service site that's no problem. But if you're running off a generator or an inverter, size it properly. A 13,500 BTU compressor pulls a heavy startup surge, and an undersized generator will brown out or trip when the compressor kicks in. Plan on a decent generator or a soft-start setup if you want to run the AC and anything else at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of things this unit is not. It's cooling only, there's no heat pump, so it won't warm the rig on a cold morning. And it has no condensate pump. That means it drains by gravity off the roof, which is exactly how most rooftop RV units work, but it also means the unit needs to sit level so water sheds the way it should instead of pooling on the roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the refrigerant side, R32 is where the whole industry is headed. It runs at similar pressures to what you're used to, cools efficiently, and carries a much lower global warming potential than the older blends. For you as the owner it mostly just means this is a current-production unit built to today's standards, not old stock sitting on a shelf. Service techs are increasingly set up for R32, so parts and know-how are easy to come by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important note before you order. The ceiling assembly is sold separately. The rooftop unit is the part that bolts down over the opening, but the interior ceiling assembly, the part with the vents, controls, and filter that you actually see and touch inside the rig, is a separate purchase and it has to match. If you're replacing an older Mach 3, double-check which ceiling assembly and thermostat setup you've got so the new unit lines up. If you're not sure, ask us and we'll help you match the parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall itself is straightforward for anyone comfortable working on a roof. The unit fits the standard 14 by 14 cutout, so on most rigs it's a direct swap for an aging rooftop AC without cutting new holes. At 79.5 pounds it's a two-person lift up the ladder, so grab a hand. Once it's gasketed down and wired in, you've got years of dependable cooling from a name that's been building RV air conditioners longer than just about anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e13,500 BTU cooling capacity, enough to keep a mid-size travel trailer or single-zone motorhome comfortable in summer heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR32 refrigerant, the newer lower global warming potential blend used across current-production rooftop units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits the standard 14 inch by 14 inch roof vent opening for a direct swap on most rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns ducted or non-ducted, so the same unit works whether your rig has ceiling ductwork or not\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e120 volt operation with a 13.1 amp compressor draw, sized for standard RV shore power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCooling only design, no heat pump, focused on straightforward summer air conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGravity condensate drain, no pump required, matching how most rooftop RV units shed water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e79.5 pound unit weight with a 13.9 in H x 28.2 in W x 38.2 in L footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite top with black shroud for a clean look on any roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt by Coleman, a name that has been making RV rooftop air conditioners for decades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Coleman reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow big of an RV will 13,500 BTU cool?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA 13,500 BTU unit like the Mach 3 DQ is a good match for most mid-size travel trailers and single-zone motorhomes.
