RV Airflow System is an OEM part for Grand Design RV, an aftermarket part for other manufacturers, that not only increased the output of your AC by making them work more efficiently, but also helps to quiet down the noise level. The unit goes into the plenum, the dead space between the AC on your roof and inside cover plate, and it redirects the AC's airflow into the RV duct system in your ceiling so the AC can operate at its maximum efficiency.

*This unit works like a charm. Keeps my rv 21 x 41 very **Fastly.Cool** . I recommend to anyone that wants to keep a rv cold without having to turn on the main a/c.*
Holy moly!!! Took me a bit of time due physical limitations and a few bandages as that sheet metal is sharp edged. The video combined with well written directions made the installation go well and without problems. On duct was partially blocked by some wires which I rerouted. All back together and turned it on. Could actually have a conversation, and the airflow, the bedroom and bathroom had never felt the cool air of the a/c. Conclusion, may seem expensive for a piece of styrofoam, but it’s not. I give it five stars, two thumbs up and a hearty than you
I am a 77 year old retired firefighter, I installed the air glow and it works great, keeping cool in hot north texas, also the film was extremely helpful
Excelent video, short, clear straight to the point, I install really easy to install airflow system in my AC, and the best part is how great it felt inside my rv now 😇🥶. Lov it 🥰, thank you for your help
Just installed 2 of these in my grand design 2021 (mach 15s). Much better performance. I live in socal so definitely need as much cooling as i possibly can. These are pricey but they are good. Need to be somewhat handy to do this
Thanks for the instructional video on this system. You were right on. Now we ll see if it makes a difference. 😊
Works very well
Thank you for an instructive video. I have a Jayco WhiteHawk and the A/C in your video is very similar to what I have to work with. I have placed my order with your coupon code. :-) I hope things go smooth with my install!
Good afternoon,
Please post a reply once you get the unit installed. I’d love to hear how it turns out.
Good morning, we’re you able to get them installed? How do you like them?
Very well done video! The one thing that wasn't covered was the included foam pieces to fill in the gaps between the new plenum and the plastic duct inserts! On my Domestic Brisk, I had about 5/8" gap. I simply forgot about those foam pieces until I had already installed the trim plate. However, I had used aluminum tape to span that - twice the thickness - and feel this should be fine. If not, I will simply remove the plate and install those later.
Yes, that was cover and shown.
Sorry, but the only thing you mentioned about these foam strips is when you said "...these sealing strips..." and they were already installed on the ducts! There was no mention of them when unpacking everything at the beginning of the video. THAT would have been important for me, , and possibly others, for an explanation for what those strips were for AND show them already installed on the ducts!
My airflow did NOT fit snugly as shown. Had I been shown about the importance of this step, I would have installed them!
What I did was simply use aluminum tape to span the gap between the airflow and the ducts. Hopefully that will work. If not, I will have to tear it apart and insert those at a later time.
@@airdave1953 When the video was made the seals were installed on them from the factory.
@@CoolRVEverything That's unfortunate in that this is a very useful, and well-done, video. Perhaps you might do an update? After the installation, I was very impressed with the performance and the HUGE amount of airflow from the ducts! ...let alone how much quieter it is. I did make a couple videos of MY installation process that I would share with you if you like.
@WagonMastersTravels I can confirm since I got this same exact model to install today that the seal tape is not installed from factory. Yes you did mention it in video but clearly not being installed from factory
I just now installed mine by myself in the dead of summer into my Dometic Brisk Air II unit and the sheet metal panel is gapping on both left and right sides a bit more than yours is showing too after I put the 4 long bolts back up in there. I will probably need to put some sort of thin decorative framing material around it that makes it look pretty. Next, after I installed everything, I felt some cool air coming out of both the plenum ends facing the front of the unit wondering if that's ok or if I installed it improperly? I may need to put some silver tape over both the plenum insert ends to seal the air from seeping out. Other than that, I hope it works very well as advertised!
I have a 2019 jayco and don’t have a inside register will it work for my setup if I come at it from the top?
I used one of these on our fifth wheel (Coleman AC) and just ordered another one for our GE AC. They make the unit much quieter and they do work very well. Do you have an install video for the GE AC?
We don’t have an install video of the GE yet, but it is basically the same.
I have a 27" toy hauler, Only 2 vents in main area (1- is usually blocked when 2nd rack bed is in raised up), one in bathroom and one in bathroom.
Is this system worth loosing the main dump feature. Also can I add a heat option to my usit with this in place?
The dump feature is quit inefficient.
Jarrett - Can you please tell me how to get a ceiling vent cover off? I installed the AirFlow system after purchasing it at the Rally last week. Now there's a loud piece of tape or paper inside one of the roof vents that is flopping around.
Good morning, they just pull down. Most are a two piece type. Some you are able to grab and just slightly pull down while others have a small clip on the inner edge that needs something like a butter knife to reach in a move it slightly so you can pull down.
Instructions that came with my kit for the brisk air 2 say 20 inch pounds on the lag bolts. Not 40 to 50? So which is it?
I would think 20-30 inch lbs would be plenty. How do you like it? I would like to order one for my dometic. It’s expensive, but if it works, I’m all for it.
Good morning, we are waiting on our engineering and marking team as this is one thing that has been mentioned in different amounts. It is looking like 30 inch lbs is going to be the prime figure.
Here in Arizona summer time it gets hot! I noticed the slidable piece that allowed the airflow to come straight down was nonfunctional now? Or does it still work? I use that when using the front kitchen and living room area, when time for bed, I close it for equal distribution? I won't give that up! How about others that use both airflows?
Those dump vents drastically reduce the amount of air that can get in to the Rv.
It's actually 20 inch pounds for the lag bolts. I followed your instructions on 40 inch pounds and pulled the thing you screw the lag bolt into THROUGH the AC. It took some cleaver jury rigging to attach that corner of the AC to the roof. What should have been a 1 hour project turned into a 7 hour debacle. I hope you edit this for others.
Good evening,
My apologies for the confusion in torque specs. When the video was filmed the owners had the settings 40 to 50. This has now been changed to 20 to 30.
We will get the video edited for the new information. Thank you for pointing out an inconsistency.
@@CoolRVEverything It has been over a YEAR and You still have NOT edited this video!!! You are going to have people over tighten there Lag Bolts and such there AC through the roof and can also cause leaks!... For all the people watching this DIY video please don't over tighten these bolts! Snug is just fine. No problem.
the tabs on my filter cover are already broken. I can't find new filter covers. Do you know where to get them?
RV A/C Ducted Air Grille Duo-Therm Air Conditioner Grille Replace for The Dometic 3104928.019 with Air Filter pad Assembly - Polar White a.co/d/4cui9VI
We just bought a 2023 imagine 2670mk and took it out on its 1st trip. The heat and humidititty 😆 in Branson Mo. this time of year can really be challenging. We learned that these will be the 1st thing we modify in the unit.
Before I installed mine...I laid it out on the kitchen counter and realized that the design is not good. It allows substantial air to escape due to the two plastic pieces being considerably wider that the mating foam surface. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned. When I go to install it...I will do whatever it takes to prevent air from escaping prior to re-assembling everything.
Good afternoon, unfortunately with the Dometic units yes, the plastic insert may be a little longer and need additional tape to cover any remaining holes to prevent air loss. The ducting in some rvs is not quite where it needs to be. This seems to be an issue related to ceiling assemblies for a Dometic AC.
@lucman22aa I found this to be an issue with a lot of them! I had similar issues with mine so I just decided to make some changes and 3-D print mine instead. No fits like a glove and no air leaks. Wish you the best of luck with yours.
What if i have gaps between my vent inserts and the foam insert. The holes do no match up.
Good afternoon, it’s possible that due to the placement of the ducts that enter the plenum could be off set. Most of the time when this happens there may be about a 1/2 inch open spot on the front side of the duct insert. If this happens, use the supplied foil tape to cover the hole keeping any air going into the duct system.
I have a 2015 Heartland Cyclone 4200 with Dometic A/C units. They look exactly like the one you are mounting the RV Airflow System Brisk Air 2 Install in this video. However, none of the Heartland Cyclones are listed in your list of pre-manufactured, or customized units. Do I need to give custom measurements, or would this one work with my unit?
Good afternoon, the comparably list may not include your model as those listed have been verified the units fit. To know for sure if it would fit you’ll need to get some measurements.

What happens with the air dump vent? Looks like the unit blocked it off. Is that no longer usable?
@@the_ap_1561 Correct, the direct dump is not that efficient to get the air evenly throughout the coach and as the allowed pass through vents are smaller in total size from the ducting system, it reduces the air volume into the coach.
I'm a little concerned that my dometic AC will freeze up. Right now if I block the main air vent from the plenum the unit will freeze up. However, the air flow through the vents is very poor.
Our system opens things up for improved airflow resulting in increased air movement.
I am in dire need for an air flow kit. I have a Dometic Duo-Therm with a “standard” return. Will this kit work? If not, which one will?
Good evening, what is the model number and Rv it is being used on?
Can you give me the RV Air Floe model number for this exact AC? I have the exact unit on my unit...
There isn’t a model number for the airflow unit, it is just a Brisk Air 2 unit.
So after you install, can you still use the max “dump” feature on the grill?
No, this closes off the dump feature.
You won’t need the dump.
I sealed the divider and ducts well with ac tape to keep the dump. If you do not most likely your evaporator air is going back into the condenser. My airflow increased 35% after but this kit is probably better as it sends the air directly into the ductwork. Downfall no dump.
dump is a gimmick, it causes cold air to be pulled back into intake.
do you know if it is compatible with jayco whitehawk domestic a/c unit?
What Dometic AC do you have? The Brisk Air or Penguin?

Will this model work on the ductless brisk air 2??
Good evening,
I’m sorry, but no, our units are intended for a ducted track system. What RV and model do you have?
Coleman 2155bh.
@@brandonbiddle8828 Good morning, unfortunately that unit has a standalone AC.
@@CoolRVEverything yep. Takes forever to cool down the unit. Thought about purchasing a small de-humidifier to help
@@brandonbiddle8828 You may look into a small stand alone ac that has a vent tube to out in a window. You can also replace a rooftop fan with another stand alone ac.
Can I cut off the lower divider plate?
Cut off?
@@CoolRVEverything never mind I figured it out. It was way too tight and moving the rv air flow back causing it not get a good seal. The product is amazing, works great definitely worth the buy.
This is something the manufacturers should be doing. I'd rather pay a few dollars more than see some of this shoddy work they are doing. This is a problem with nearly all makes of RVs.
Many of the manufacturers are now installing them at the factory.
But that’s not the brand of a/c we have. Ours is the twin screen air return.
Can you email me a picture of your ceiling cover and I can get a better idea of what unit you and and what you need.
jeret@wagonmasterstravels.com
Did you get an answer from your comment? Mine is a Dometic unit with the two slide out screens. Trying to make sure it will work
@@mattbailey776 Good evening,
Can you email me a picture of what your cover looks like. Also, what model number AC do you have?
$170 for a piece of foam is robbery...
Lose the dump feature for 170 bucks.
And gain a quieter more efficient AC in the process. ;)
You honestly won’t need the dump ports with this.
@@janosvadas I couldn’t imagine this making my ac flow that much more . I have a 33ft Tahoe Transport and the dump feature is a life saver when we’re out at the dunes .
The dump feature actually makes the ac less efficient.
It takes it directly back to the unit and doesn’t even have a chance to cool the trailer.
it's a good idea. but $170 for a piece of foam? overpriced. price point should be $99, or an unlimited line of buyers for $50. I'll make my own with foam board.
That's the only thing stopping me. Is it worth my time to go buy the stuff and do it myself or just pay the money for the ease of installation and use
180 dollars no thanks koolrv cost 84 dollars
Yep, and Airflow still out performs all the others.
There's a reason stuff like this is not done from the manufacturer I guarantee this air conditioner will freeze up a lot easier now
Except for it is and with more than one manufacturer and it does help with keeping the ac from freezing up, especially in kore humid climates.
And that reson is cost! I’ve had my RV airflow device in for over a year and it works very well with no freeze ups. In fact I think it’s more efficient and therefore has greater airflow of dry inside air back through the system to prevent freeze up from a congested AC system.
