What happens under 19 degrees and above 104? Does it shut down or just los efficiancy

When operating outside of that temperature range, the system diminishes in capacity rapidly and will shut down if temperatures get significantly more extreme.

What is the delta t range. Average is 20 degrees from ambient temp.

The Delta-T (supply vs. return air temp.) is 20-25Â°.

What is the SEER rating?

Since it is a recreational package system, it does not really come with a SEER rating.ÂYou can look at the efficiency as providing 2.65 kW of cooling for every kW consumed. A COP of 2.65 W/W or EER of 9 BTU/W.

Do you have to vent the exhaust outside of the dwelling area?

The bottom will be exhausting the heat that it removes from inside the RV so it needs to have ventilation to the outside air. If the floor openings are sealed well, then the outside air will not mix or come into contact with the dwelling air.

do you have a video to see the install??

We do not yet, since the product is so new. But you can read through the Installation Manual here: https://www.pdhvac.com/site/downloads/manuals/PYR009AZFRVBKE-UM.pdf

Can you put a filter on the air intake?

There is a washable/re-usable filter on the intake side already, please see page 11: https://www.pdhvac.com/site/downloads/manuals/PYR009AZFRVBKE-UM.pdf

I have a 40 foot motorhome would that keep it cool enough and warm enough in the winter

This is 9,000 BTU which is suited to 350 Square Feet of space, if your 40' trailer is standard kind then it should be around 320 SF and so this system would cover that for both heating and cooling.

Is this only for heating? Why it doesnt gave cold air?

If installed properly it will provide both heating and cooling. Make sure that the bottom condenser side can breathe. You need to have 1 vent IN, and 1 vent OUT for the bottom side and they need to be separate. And 1 IN and 1 OUT for the top side. Make sure that the bottom side is not just bringing back the same hot air it is expelling back into the unit. Also please set the unit to the lowest set temperature setting and see if that gives any cooled air.

Can this unit be mounted under a van or rv?

If it's protected from the elements and has a way to draw in outside air and push the conditioned air across the cabin via ducting, it should have no problem.

CAN YOU TURN THE HEAT PUMP OFF IN COLDER THEN 20 DEGREES AND STILL USE THE HEATER LIKE WHEN YOU TURN A HEAT PUMP TO EMERGENCY HEAT IN THOSE TYPE OF TEMPERTURES. THANKS PAT

No since this does not have an emergency heater. All of the heating comes from the heat pump.

Where do you find the duct hoses for this unit. I am running out of luck finding any ?

Here is a resource we can recommend: https://infparts.com/store/ac-parts/vents-duct-hose-a-c-parts-2/page/2/

Based on previous questions, would this be a bad choice for an Arizona summer? My van is heavily insulated but it sounds like I'll need something more efficient?

This should be useable for that environment, the operating range is 19 - 104Â°F outside temperatures. A mini split would be more efficient but more difficult to install and takes up space outside the vehicle and inside.

Iâ€™ve bought several mini splits from you and typically have a technician connect and vacuum lines. The 18000 btu mini split comes with a 1/4â€ and 1/2â€ lines. Can the 1/2â€ copper line be carefully hand bent without a bending tool?

It can be bent by hand using broad and gradual bends. The minimum bending radius is 4 inches.

Will a 2400w generator run this heat pump? What are start up watts? Can a soft start capacitor be installed?

It is an on-off system that pulls 995W in cooling and 810W in heating. The generator should be sufficient and yes you can incorporate a soft-starter.

What happens if the outside temp reaches 131 F.

If the unit detects >131F for 5 minutes, it will enter a standby mode until the temperatures drop below that figure.

Does it come with the ducts? If not, where can I find them?

It doesn't include the ducts but those parts can be sourced here: https://www.pioneerminisplit.com/collections/accesories/products/air-outlet-and-duct-hose-kit-for-pioneer-under-bench-heat-pump

Where can I find the suggested type of 2 1/2" cardboard vent pipe for the under bench ac unit you sell? Also- what fitting attaches the pipe to the unit on that model?

Those parts can be sourced here: https://infparts.com/store/ac-parts/vents-duct-hose-a-c-parts-2/

Will the bench rv heat pump be able to keep a sprinter van cool in the Florida hot & humid august days? Thank you

Yes, this would be perfect for that kind of application!

The exhaust and intake for the condenser are close to each other. Will it improve the performance if I use a several feet duct from the exhaust? Second question, is there a concern if I mount it under floor? ( Provided if I have space of course) Third question. How level it can be mounted? Can it be installed on the side or upright?

The condenser side inlet and outlet are spaced enough apart such that efficiency is not affected but you can attach ducting to add some more distance, it may be helpful in some environments or scenarios. There is no concern for mounting under the floor if you have the needed tolerances and airflow. The unit should be as level as possible and under 5 degrees of tilt, it cannot be mounted on the side or upright.

Has this been updated/upgraded recently, because the listing now specifically states \Inverter Heat Pump Air Conditioner\"?"

Yes, this is now a fully Inverter-driven system with close to 0 start-up amps (no soft-start needed).

What is the maximum square footage the unit can cool?

We recommend this for up to 350~400 square feet.

If running in cool (A/C) mode with the fan on auto, will both the condenser and fan power off when temperature demand is met?

In cooling mode the compressor will cut off but the fan stays running to continually circulate air to know when cooling is needed again. The fan itself uses negligible energy and must run for air to flow over the temperature sensor.

can these be mounted to exhaust sideways (i.e. out the side of a boat for e.g.?)

No, it must be installed level and upright as depicted in the images and manual.

What’s the maximum amp draw on startup?

This is an inverter-driven system, there is no sudden inrush amps at startup. The amp draw starts from essentially 0.

Pioneer® Under-Bench RV Heat Pump

Comfort that stays out of sight

In a van or compact rig, every inch counts. The Pioneer Under-Bench RV Heat Pump is a 10,000 BTU packaged system that hides inside a bench, seat base, or cabinet, keeping your roof free for solar panels, vents, or a roof deck. Full DC inverter technology lets it cool in summer and heat in the shoulder seasons, ramping smoothly to match what your space needs. With near-zero startup amps, it needs no soft-start, making it an easy fit for generator, inverter, and battery setups.

Is an under-bench heat pump right for you?

Hidden and versatile. The compact, simple shape mounts out of view, and up to three ducts carry air to separate areas of the vehicle, such as the cab, living area, and sleeping space. It’s a strong choice for new builds and retrofits alike.

Quiet and durable. Operating at under 40 dB, it’s quiet enough for a good night’s sleep. An IPX5 water-resistance rating and UL listing add peace of mind for life on the road.

Ready for the road. The system ships pre-charged with R32 refrigerant and ready to install, and can be controlled with the included handheld remote.

Choosing a size. This unit is ideal for camper vans, skoolies, tiny homes on wheels, and compact RVs up to roughly 400 sq ft. Air outlets and duct hoses are sold separately, so plan your duct runs before installation, or reach out to our team for help.

All Pioneer RV heat pumps are backed by free lifetime technical support from our US-based team.
