**UPDATE**. over a year later and this AC is still amazing, my favorite part is the low power consumption limiting it in 50% mode, maxes out at around 9000 BTU But crazy efficient. I re ran the tests with professional thermohydrogmeters and got a max output of 12500 BTU on a 90°F humid day, internal temp 75. 50% setting yielded 9000 BTU max fan on high, dropped to 4500-5000 on low fan. Still one of my favorite ACs
The BTUs I calculated did not include latent heat or the energy required to remove humidity... I reran tests at an 80 degree inside temp at 60% RH on the installed unit (Psychometric calc) and found,
Total cooling: ~10,900 BTU/hr
Sensible: ~7,950 BTU/hr
Latent: ~2,960 BTU/hr (moisture removal)....
Thus add 20% to my BTU calculations in the video tests at max
In this in-depth review and teardown, I put the latest tech from Furrion to the test. Is this the quietest, most efficient RV air conditioner ever? Watch as I break down both ducted and non-ducted versions, measure real BTUs, power draw, and airflow, and share what actually matters for off-grid and full-time RVers.
ACs Tested:
Furrion Chill® Cube Variable Speek RV Rooftop Air Conditioner (R32) - 18k BTU, Non-Ducted: furrion.com/collections/rv-air-conditioners/products/furrion-chill-cube-variable-speed-rv-rooftop-air-conditioner-r32-18k-btu-non-ducted-chill-cube-18k-non-ducted

Furrion Chill® Cube Variable Speek RV Rooftop Air Conditioner (R32) - 18k BTU, Ducted: furrion.com/collections/rv-air-conditioners/products/furrion-chill-cube-variable-speed-rv-rooftop-air-conditioner-r32-18k-btu-ducted-chill-cube-18k-ducted
- Available on Amazon: amzn.to/455LbCt
- Don't forget the ADB, sold separately: furrion.com/products/furrion-chill-cube-ducted-air-distribution-box-r32-with-remote-white-fact18vsda-ps-am-2024040312
Real-World Testing: Noise, static pressure, energy efficiency, and airflow
Deep Dive Teardown: See the inside—mini split-style fans, smart condensate cooling, brushless DC motors, and more
BTU & Power Claims—Fact Checked: Why RV A/C ratings rarely match real output
What We Love: Ultra-quiet operation, variable speed control, innovative water cooling, energy-saving features
What We’d Improve: No app/wifi, not a heat pump, line-of-sight remote
Perfect For: Full-timers, off-grid RVers, snowbirds, anyone tired of loud or power-hungry A/C!

Key Takeaways:
- Non-ducted unit = super quiet, insane airflow, best for open layouts
- Ducted unit = higher static pressure, slightly better efficiency, traditional layout
- Both units: Variable speed, almost no startup surge, extremely efficient at low power (good enough for solar & lithium batteries!)
- Innovative design re-uses condensate for cooling = less roof dripping & more efficiency
