It's the popular go-to size for most RVs, drops into a standard 14 by 14 inch opening, and keeps single-zone coaches and trailers comfortable through hot travel days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dometic FreshJet 5 Series 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner is the size most RVers reach for, and for good reason. It's the sweet spot between strong cooling and sensible power draw, which makes it the go-to choice for a huge range of travel trailers, campers, and single-zone motorhomes. If you're replacing a tired old unit or spec'ing out a rig, this is the capacity that keeps most floor plans comfortable without asking too much of your electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a non-ducted model. That means the cold air comes straight down through a ceiling air distribution box mounted directly beneath the unit, rather than traveling through a network of overhead ducts. It's the right setup for coaches and trailers that don't have factory ductwork, and it keeps both the install and the airflow simple, with the cold air landing right where you're sitting. The clean white shroud keeps your roofline looking factory-fresh, and the light color reflects sunlight to help the unit shed heat load on blazing afternoons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FreshJet 5 rides low. The whole shroud stands about 10.5 inches tall, so you hold onto more clearance under bridges, in covered storage, and around low branches, and the unit cuts less wind on the highway. Its footprint measures roughly 40.39 inches long by 29.21 inches wide, and it's engineered to drop into the standard 14 by 14 inch roof vent opening that most RVs already have. If you're upgrading from an older rooftop air conditioner, there's a strong chance you can reuse the existing opening instead of cutting a new hole in your roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is straightforward North American shore power. The FreshJet 5 runs on 115 volts AC at 60 Hz, so it draws from the same electrical system your rig already uses at the campground pedestal or off a properly sized generator. At 13,500 BTU, it's easier on a generator than the larger 15,000 BTU model, which is one more reason this size is so popular with boondockers and weekend campers. Control is handled through Dometic's mechanical control setup, which pairs with the separate ceiling assembly you choose, so you get simple, dependable temperature and fan management without a fussy touchscreen to troubleshoot far from home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to plan for before you buy: because this is a non-ducted unit, the rooftop chassis is only half the system. You'll need a Dometic ceiling air distribution box, sometimes called the ceiling assembly, and it's sold separately. That box carries the return-air filter, the supply-air louvers you aim, and the controls. It's a deliberate design so you can match the right ceiling kit to your ceiling thickness and layout, but it does mean you should order both pieces together so your install day doesn't get cut short waiting on parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut on the road, what you'll notice is steady, reliable cooling that holds up through a long hot afternoon without drama. The 13,500 BTU FreshJet 5 is a smart match for the majority of single-zone rigs, from compact trailers to mid-size fifth wheels. Because it's a Dometic, you're buying into a company that has built RV and marine climate and comfort equipment for decades, with a dealer and parts network that actually exists when you need a filter or a service part down the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving with the FreshJet 5 is easy once it's mounted. The ceiling box holds a washable return-air filter that you can pop out, rinse, and reinstall in a couple of minutes, which keeps airflow strong and the coil clean over a long season of dusty back roads and pollen-heavy state parks. The louvers let you steer air toward the bed at night or the living area during the day, so you're never stuck with one fixed direction. If you want dependable, right-sized rooftop cooling in a clean white low profile, the FreshJet 5 Series 13,500 BTU is the one to pair with the matching ceiling assembly and put to work.\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, the popular go-to size that fits the widest range of single-zone RVs and trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-ducted design delivers cold air straight down through a ceiling air distribution box, ideal for rigs without factory ductwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasier on a generator than the 15,000 BTU model, a plus for boondockers and weekend campers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile shell stands only about 10.5 inches tall for better clearance and less highway wind drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrops into the standard 14 by 14 inch roof opening, so most upgrades skip cutting a new hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns on 115V AC, 60 Hz shore or generator power, the same system your rig already uses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright white exterior that reflects sunlight and keeps a factory-fresh roofline\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by Dometic's long-standing RV and marine comfort engineering and parts network\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\u003eIs this a ducted or non-ducted air conditioner?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a non-ducted model.
