Easy installation, very good product. πŸ‘

Very easy install, worth every penny. It showed up early. I just got my camper and it didn't have a thermostat, just two knobs for manual control. Did a little research and bam! Youtube even has a video on how to install it. But it's simple and almost idiotically proff.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Too stupid

Great upgrade! fits accessory

Uses the installation video on youtube, if you are a bit inexperienced in it, do not try to install it yourself. However, we have been masters of our Wolfpup since day one and were able to complete this setup in a matter of hours. WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT! No more air conditioning at full power, this unit is controlled by your mobile phone and allows you to set the temperature. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Fantastic upgrade of engine and engine parts

I'm totally impressed with this system. Fully controls the turning on and off of the fan when temperature is reached. I like the two new airports on the ground floor. I thought the installation was pretty easy if you take your time. I had to extend the power supply but I have a cord so it wasn't a big problem. Overall, while this upgrade is pricey, it's a must-have. My only gripe is the directions. I found them oddly written. But even without instructions I was able to put everything together.

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • going away

Great accessory upgrade

Includes everything needed to upgrade my RV AC unit to electronic/Bluetooth control. Remember that it fits the device snugly, especially if you have an extra heating element. Be prepared to remove everything once or twice while figuring out how to put everything in there. Tip: Remove the heating element, install a new control box, and then reinstall the heater. You'll also likely need to remove one or two of the main mounting screws to have enough clearance to move things around. Since you're…

Pros
  • Brilliantly done

Must have upgrade for engine heaters and accessories

Relatively easy installation for someone familiar with electrical work. Cable length in the ceiling unit. The temperature sensor is better than the original one but it is close to the source so I had to play with the settings until I found a comfortable bedside temperature but much more accurate than the original setting. Air vents are a game changer. The bluetooth phone app is good but the design could be better. You can set the system so that the fan does not run continuously. Really nice…

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Seems to work but installation was tricky.

Although I never received the unit that Revain ordered (no fault of Revain), I installed it for a friend a few weeks ago. First the installation: it was anything but friendly, especially when the existing air conditioning system had a heating strip. After the assembly was installed, the heater tape had to be removed and reinstalled. There are countless sharp metal surfaces inside the air conditioner and only small hands can do most of the installation. Expect bleeding. Since the 120 V cabling…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • No automatic

Really easy upgrade if you're even willing to do it

UPDATE - After a couple of trips and really hot weather I'm still very happy with this unit. I can still move the thermostat outside of the case, but it works pretty well with it in place. My only (minor) complaint is that it takes longer than I think to turn the AC back on, so it gets a little warmer than I'd like just before turning it on. It doesn't matter much. As several people have reported, it occasionally loses the Bluetooth connection, but I've found that simply restarting the phone…

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Appearance
