{"product_id":"dometic-freshjet-manual-non-ducted-air-distribution-box","title":"Dometic FreshJet Manual Air Distribution Box, Non-Ducted, White","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Dometic FreshJet manual air distribution box is the ceiling assembly for non-ducted RV rooftop air conditioners. Two knobs, one for temperature and one for fan speed, both built right into the unit. No wall thermostat to wire in. It drops into the standard 14 by 14 inch roof opening in polar white, with front-and-back airflow that spreads cooling across the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running a non-ducted Dometic FreshJet rooftop unit, this is the ceiling assembly that actually controls it. The manual air distribution box, or ADB, mounts to the inside of your coach right below the rooftop air conditioner. It's where the cold air comes out and where you set how cold you want it. No wall thermostat, no app, no menu to scroll through. Just two knobs. One sets the temperature and the other sets the fan speed. Twist and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat simplicity is the whole point. A lot of RVers don't want a smart thermostat wired into the wall. They want to reach up, turn a dial, and feel cool air. This is that box. Dometic calls it the mechanical ADB because the controls live right in the ceiling unit, so there's nothing extra to wire in on the interior side. If you've ever swapped a tired old ceiling assembly on a travel trailer or fifth wheel, you already know how much easier a self-contained control head makes the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation couldn't be more basic. The temperature knob dials in how hard the unit works, and the fan knob steps through the blower speeds, so you can move a lot of air fast or keep things quiet at night. There's no learning curve here. Hand a first-time RV owner this box and they'll have it figured out in about ten seconds. That's a real plus when you rent the rig out, or when the person running the AC isn't the person who installed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirflow comes out front and back, so you get two-way distribution across the cabin instead of one blast in a single direction. The housing is a low-profile two-piece design in polar white, which keeps it from hanging down into your headroom and blends with most RV ceilings. The two-piece build also makes the install friendlier. You're not wrestling one big awkward part over your head on a ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made for non-ducted setups, which means the air feeds straight out of the ceiling box rather than running through overhead ductwork. It drops into the standard 14 by 14 inch roof opening that most rooftop units use, so it fits existing cutouts. It pairs with the current Dometic FreshJet series and is backward-compatible with legacy Dometic rooftop air conditioners like the Brisk, Penguin, and Blizzard lines. That makes it a clean upgrade path when an older ceiling assembly finally gives up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, it runs on 115 volt AC at 60 hertz, standard shore-power territory for a rooftop RV air conditioner. It's rated to operate in ambient temperatures from about 61 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit. This version ships without the LED light. If you want cabin lighting built into the ceiling assembly, Dometic offers a cool-white LED upgrade separately, but this is the no-light configuration. It's also a cool-only manual setup, so if your rig uses a heat-pump unit or you want programmable smart-thermostat control, this isn't the control head for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is a common weekend project. The two-piece design lets you set the main housing to the roof unit and then bring up the lower control panel, instead of handling one large assembly overhead. Grab a helper for the roof-side work and take the usual care with the gasket so you keep a good seal against leaks. Go slow on the wiring. Landing the control connections correctly the first time saves you a second trip up the ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this for? Anybody replacing a broken non-ducted ceiling assembly, anybody moving to a FreshJet and keeping it simple, and anybody who just prefers a knob over a touchscreen. It's a practical, no-drama part. Installation hardware and instructions come in the box. Not sure whether your rooftop unit is ducted or non-ducted? Non-ducted units blow directly through the ceiling assembly, and that's exactly what this box is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual knob controls built into the ceiling unit set temperature and fan speed without a separate wall thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-ducted design feeds cold air straight out of the ceiling box, so no overhead ductwork is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront-and-back two-way airflow spreads cooling across the cabin instead of one direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits the standard 14 by 14 inch roof opening, dropping into existing RV rooftop cutouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackward-compatible with legacy Dometic rooftop air conditioners for an easy upgrade from an older ceiling assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile two-piece polar white housing preserves headroom and simplifies the install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns on 115V AC, 60 Hz, standard rooftop RV air conditioner power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNet weight about 7.5 lb, light enough for a one-person lift once the roof unit is set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips without the LED light, with an optional cool-white LED upgrade available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation hardware and instructions included in the box\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\u003eDo I need a wall thermostat with this air distribution box?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. The controls are built right into the ceiling unit.
