It drops into a standard 14 by 14 inch roof vent, runs ducted or non-ducted, and finishes in a low-profile black shroud. Serious cooling for larger trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dometic FreshJet 4 is the big-capacity option in Dometic's rooftop lineup, a 15,000 BTU unit built for RVers who need real cooling in real heat. If you've spent an August afternoon in a fifth wheel parked on open asphalt, you know a small AC just can't keep up. This one can. It's the premium heat pump model, which means it does double duty: cold air when it's hot out, and warm air when the mornings turn cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what makes the heat pump worth it. A standard RV air conditioner only cools. When the temperature drops, you're back on the propane furnace burning through your tank. The FreshJet 4 runs its compressor in reverse to pull heat into the coach, so you can knock the chill off a cool desert morning or a fall night at the campground without touching the LP. It won't replace your furnace in a hard freeze, heat pumps lose efficiency as it gets truly cold, but for the shoulder seasons it saves propane and runs quietly off shore power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt drops into the standard 14 by 14 inch roof opening that most RVs already have, so on a lot of rigs this is a straight swap for a tired old unit. You can run it ducted, pushing air through your existing ceiling ducts for even distribution across a longer coach, or non-ducted with a ceiling assembly that dumps air right below the unit. That flexibility matters. A 34-foot motorhome wants ducted air front to back. A short travel trailer does fine with a single non-ducted drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit pulls 15 amps on the compressor at 115 volts, so it's happy on a 30-amp shore pedestal as long as you're smart about what else is running. Startup is where these big units bite, that initial surge can trip a breaker if your converter, water heater, and microwave all kick on at once. A soft-start module is a popular add-on if you plan to run it on a generator or a marginal pedestal. Worth thinking about before you're standing at the panel resetting a breaker in the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of install notes. This is the version without a condensate pump, so it drains by gravity. You route the condensate out through the roof and let it run off. That's simpler and one less thing to fail, just make sure your drain path stays clear. And at 77 pounds, it's a real load up top. Most RV roofs are built for it, but if you're upgrading an older trailer that came with a lighter original unit, take a look at your roof framing before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FreshJet 4 uses R32 refrigerant, the current-generation refrigerant Dometic moved to for better efficiency and a lower environmental footprint than the older blends. The shroud is a low-profile textured black, which looks sharp on a modern coach and hides road grime better than white between washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Owners of larger trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A or C motorhomes who want one appliance that handles both ends of the season. If you camp in genuinely hot climates, tow something long enough that a smaller unit leaves the back bedroom warm, or just want the propane savings a heat pump brings in spring and fall, this is the unit. If you've got a small teardrop or you only camp in mild weather, you're probably paying for capacity you won't use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing worth saying plainly: this is a rooftop unit, not a window shaker or a portable. Installation means getting on the roof, setting the unit into the gasketed opening, and wiring it into your 115-volt system, plus mounting the ceiling assembly inside. It's a doable weekend job for a handy owner, and any RV service center can knock it out in an afternoon. Either way, budget for a fresh gasket and take your time sealing the roof penetration. A good seal is the difference between years of trouble-free cooling and a slow leak you chase every rainy season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15,000 BTU high-capacity cooling for larger trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in heat pump adds warm-air heating in cool weather, saving propane through the shoulder seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits the standard 14 in x 14 in roof vent opening for a direct swap on most RVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns ducted or non-ducted, so it suits both long coaches and short trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e115 volt operation with a 15 amp compressor draw, workable on a 30-amp shore pedestal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR32 refrigerant for better efficiency and a lower environmental footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile textured black shroud hides road grime and suits modern coaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGravity condensate drain with no condensate pump means one less component to fail\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e77.09 lb top-mount unit sized for standard RV roof structures\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 Dometic 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 an RV will a 15,000 BTU air conditioner cool?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAt 15,000 BTU this is a high-capacity unit, aimed at larger trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A or C motorhomes.
