Great question. Yes you can use The RV A/C Silencer kit.
The trim will cover any holes or blemishes in ceiling that are not cover up by the 17"x17" Silencer kit. We do offer two sizes of trims, 19x20" and 20x20" so you can pick what size works best for you.

Clear instructions and easy installation. Looks good too. Works as advertised. Noticeably lower noise and much higher air volume from ducts, especially in rear bedroom!
WIlliam (verified owner) –
Works as advertised. Noticeable noise reduction. Im very happy with my purchase
Bill D. (verified owner) –
If we could give you a higher score, we would!!! Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you
Robert Goodsell –
It works! Nice product and easy to install. 8 decibel reduction may not sound like much, but it does makes a big difference.
No more
scott (verified owner) –
Couldn’t be more pleased. This thing really does work as advertised. A very nicely made product and looks good.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you Scott
James Buchanan (verified owner) –
Thanks, fast service and it works!
Kelley L. (verified owner) –
It does make the air conditioner much quieter, install is pretty simple. The price for what the product actually is, is on the expensive side however.
Donald McCarty (verified owner) –
Great product
James Streicher (verified owner) –
This is our second Coleman-Mach RV A/C Silencer CA200 for our 36-foot Class A Winnie motorhome. The first went into the bedroom, and this into the living room/kitchen. No, it doesn’t silence the A/C noise, but it reduces it enough so we can watch TV without maximum volume, and don’t have to shout to be heard when more than 5 feet apart. Finally, this handy guy urges you to read the instructions because, while it’s pretty simple install, there are a couple of steps which aren’t intuitive.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you for being a loyal customer.
Bill D. (verified owner) –
I have to admit, I was very skeptical about this product when I first heard of it. Now, I am EXTREMELY happy with this, it makes a HUGE difference in reducing the noise from the A/C. While the decibels were only reduced by one or two points, to the “ear” it makes a world of difference.
Brooke McDonald (verified owner) –
Silenced about 4 decibels, but increased airflow to all parts of the RV. Pleased. Would have liked a little quieter.
BRIAN (verified owner) –
Holly Cow! I was amazed at how easy it was to install the A/C Silencer and just how effective it is.
Thomas Dandrea (verified owner) –
The A/C Silencer installation was easy and the results are great! Very happy I ordered the trim ring for this update also, as it covers the screw holes and imperfections in the RV ceiling completely and makes for a very attractive appearance. Oh, and the Silencer made a huge reduction in A/C noise that was immediately noticeable.
Mark Sloan (verified owner) –
This thing works fantastic! It’s really hard to believe how much quieter the AC is now. Watching TV and having conversations are going to be so much easier and normal now. Everyone needs to remember that it does not eliminate all noise, nor does it advertise it will. BUT, it significantly reduces the noise. To me well worth the cost!
David D. (verified owner) –
Nice quality unit, easy to install, and works as advertised. Price was a serious consideration preventing me from ordering sooner and although I’d like to install the silencer on my other AC unit the price makes it hard to justify. I would suggest replacing the exterior mounting screws be colored to match the white exterior. Seems like an inexpensive add… Thank You
Thomas Torbert (verified owner) –
Installs and functions as advertised. Great product!
Mark Repinski (verified owner) –
Easy install – Performance exceeds expectations
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you Mark
REBECCA (verified owner) –
Love the fast shipping service and the AC Silencer works great and cuts the noise.
Mark W. (verified owner) –
We installed two units in our RV and it was easy. We had watched a video on youtube where the installer had used extra hvac tape to completely seal off any gaps or holes where the pressured air might leak between the intake and disperse chambers and I thought that was smart so we did that also. When we turned on the units after installation, we were blown away by how quieter they were. Also we noticed better airflow from our ducts. Very happy with this product!
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Sealing up the intake and supply chambers are very Good job and Thank you for your business.
Dan K. (verified owner) –
Love it! Quieter than imagined. Can sleep now without AC waking us up, and no longer have to crank TV volume up/down to compensate for AC air noise. Also better spreads cool air throughout the camper instead of blowing straight down from AC. Major improvement all around!
Gregory U. (verified owner) –
After installation I commented it is nice to purchase a product that does exactly what it is advertised to do! Thank you.
Barry T. (verified owner) –
Definitely made a difference in noise level, much better.
John R. (verified owner) –
Really cuts down on the nose and it looks good too! The only reason it’s not a 5 for me is that It was a little small for the footprint of the cover we replaced as far as aesthetics go. This my not be the case for you; we have a 2006 Fleetwood Bounder. We had our installer put up small vinyl border around the unit that matched our ceiling and it looks great. We love that we don’t have to turn the tv up so loud when the ac kicks on and the ac doesn’t wake me up now in the middle of the night! Wish we had done it sooner.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Hello John, Thank you for the review. We do have 2 optional trim pieces available to cover any holes or marks in the ceiling that the Silencer kit doesn’t cover up with the 17×17″ foot print. The CT205 trim is 19×20″ and CT204 is 20×20″ foot print. The trims are optional as not everyone needs them.
Kenny Stoltz (verified owner) –
Definitely made a difference.
Pat D. (verified owner) –
Very quiet
CJ Maurer (verified owner) –
These fit great. They work great. Very happy with them. We can watch tv now with both on. Before we couldn’t.
Steve M. (verified owner) –
Really nice product. I can’t believe how much it cut the noise down from the old AC covers. I was able to get rid of the sound bar I had bought for the TV just because of the noise of the AC units.
Richard Krasowski Jr (verified owner) –
Works as advertised! Good instructions. Easy to install.
Richard –
After watching videos and reading the reviews, I decided to order. We have a Coleman Mach. AC unit. I ordered based on the pictures that matched our original grill on the website. The order arrived fast. It was the correct grill…but was too small to cover the holes from the original. I went back to the website to actually start the return process and instead searched the website and found the adaptor trim ring and ordered it. Glad I did. Just wished they had mentioned that this might be required with the order. No instructions on how to mount the trim ring but had it figured out with no problem.
This only took about 15 minutes to install by myself. An extra hand to hold it up would make it much easier.
Turned the AC on. Wow…what a difference in the sound. So quiet. It is much more than I would have thought. It really has changed everything in the camper. Coachman Catalina Deluxe 25 RKS. This was totally worth it. My wife is very impressed with the change in the sound. This Really Works. Thank You, Wacko!!
James (verified owner) –
It works!
David Royce (verified owner) –
Much quieter than before.
william riehl (verified owner) –
Very happy with the product and installation steps. The specific decible reduction is slightly overstate but a huge improvement none the less.
Douglas B Thomas (verified owner) –
Fast delivery.
Raymond Bane (verified owner) –
Pricy but worth the money
Mark Lawler (verified owner) –
Easy to install and works as advertised. Now I don’t have to blast the TV for it to be heard over the air conditioner in my Class C motorhome.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Enjoy watching the TV again. Thank you
Robert W. (verified owner) –
Easy install. Had to trim one corner of the cover to fit our Winnebago Navion V model.
Scott H. (verified owner) –
I was skeptical, but this thing rocks. Every time my air conditioner would come on, and my tv was on, I would have to crank the volume. Now I really don’t have to touch it, maybe at most I bump it just a little. That is huge! I am 100% behind this simple to install product
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Fantastic, Thank you for your purchase
Jerry O. (verified owner) –
Air conditioning units are definitely quieter.
Vicky H. (verified owner) –
Ordered the Coleman rv Air Conditioner Silencers. Installed ourselves. Easy process. I was HOPING for a little more “silencing” but the difference was very noticeable. And it seemed as the days passed I actually started not even noticing when the units were on so I guess they did silence more than I thought. Would recommend and I would definitely buy again.
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Very easy to install! All the parts were in the box, all the pre-existing holes matched the A/C Silencer perfectly and it really does reduce the amount of noise from the A/C. It’s about a 2 decibel reduction, which doesn’t sound like much, but really is. We have 2 A/Cs and the one without the silencer is much louder. It’s worth the money and we’re definitely getting a second one!
Gregory G. (verified owner) –
It fit EXACTLY as advertised. It is quieter now, and the airflow is noticeably increased. Thanks for bringing your invention to market!
Joseph G. (verified owner) –
The unit was designed well to fit my mach 15 made an easy install
JOHN (verified owner) –
did what it said
Todd K. (verified owner) –
Installation was quick and easy, only problem is that the white shroud is thicker than the original and my decorative medallion on the slide wood trim hits and pushes up against the ceiling (☹️). Got to trim 1/4-1/2” off cover and mill out the mounting holes on cover unless a thinner cover is made.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Please do not trim the cover. The cover space is needed for air flow. You could pickup some thumb screws #8-32 x 1/2″ long and use to hold the cover on. This way it is you can remove the cover before bring in the slide.
Connie (verified owner) –
Love this product. Works perfectly to reduce the volume of noise. Would definitely recommend to others.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you Connie. Enjoy the RV A/C
Jerry ONeill (verified owner) –
Item really works well . Install by directions was a snap . Has definitely increased air flow and quietness. Filters are way more efficient than the manufacturer type. Overall, very satisfied with this product . Would definitely recommend to anyone with a RV . Don’t have to max out the volume watching TV anymore. Great product !
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you for the feedback. Enjoy
Lisa W. (verified owner) –
AWESOME PRODUCT! Well worth every penny and so easy to install. Makes a huge difference pushing air through all the ceiling vents evenly! Makes it a little quiter when it kicks on and off. Very pleased and highly recommended.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you Lisa
Virginia Simmens (verified owner) –
It really did make a difference. I can hear my tv now. It was easy to install, took about 10 minutes. Very pleased with the product!
Curtis Phillips (verified owner) –
Installed in 35-40 minutes and works great.
Nancy (verified owner) –
works great
Richard Lynch (verified owner) –
Great product that should come on every class a motorhome. Now me and the wife can talk and the tv is the only thing that needs to be cut down.
Valerie (verified owner) –
We are so happy with this product. It really works!!! Our air conditioner is so much quieter. Before even the dog was stressed by the loud noise. Not anymore, it’s so much better. Best purchase I’ve made all year.
Dennis (verified owner) –
The Coleman-Mach RV A/C Silencer and the trim worked perfectly in our single A/C 5th wheel. The A/C in the main living area was unbearable with noise and the air flow was lacking through the ducted A/C vents. After the simple installation, we can now have a conversation, watch TV, and enjoy the 5th wheel all while the A/C is running. If we add a 2nd A/C unit to the bedroom area, we will definitely purchase another Silencer.
Susan Hocking (verified owner) –
Excellent product, instead of missing half the conversation when near the AC, it is so quiet that you miss nothing. Highly recommend this product for your RV!
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you and enjoy the conversations.
David E. (verified owner) –
Works great, easy install
Lawrence D. (verified owner) –
Does not vent well no side vents like model which we replace with this.
Jeffrey (verified owner) –
AC more tolerable now.
Colton C. (verified owner) –
This product made a huge difference not only in noise reduction but it also provides more air though the vents in areas further away from the main unit. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone needing help in those areas
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you
Donald (verified owner) –
Works as advertised with an 8db reduction in the noise level. However, after receiving and looking at the product, it does seem somewhat overpriced. Most RV folks would be put off by the cost. I also have not used the AC units on a hot day yet to see if airflow is, as a minimum, the same as previous.
Scott (verified owner) –
big difference in noise, very happy. Additional trim options would be nice to cover up old.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Hello Scott, We do have trim pieces available. The CT204 that will cover 20×20″ & CT205 is 19×20″
Donny Crooke (verified owner) –
Before and after with a sound meter on my phone. My wife could tell the difference immediately. Very happy with both products
Thomas (verified owner) –
Definitely reduced noise in the coach a lot.
Thomas (verified owner) –
Reduced sound form the air conditioner by 12 db and with more the cooled air going thru the ceiling ducts, not recirculating hot & cold air in the plenum, the trailer temperature is more even and might even cool down a bit faster.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you Thomas
Jason G. (verified owner) –
Ended up buying a second one for our fifth wheel with 2 a/c units. Highly recommend.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you for the 2nd purchase, enjoy
Ron Cravey (verified owner) –
The best thing about the Silencer is not that it quiets the unit but the it increases the air through the ducts.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Thank you Ron
David (verified owner) –
It doesn’t make any appreciable difference in volume.
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Hello David, Please contact us at [email protected]. You may have a A/C install problem causing the issue and we would like to help.
Janice (verified owner) –
After 6 years our air conditioner is so much quieter and lots of air is now coming out of the air ducts where before we hardly had any. This product has made a big difference in watching TV, sleeping and of course being cool. Follow directions and watch the video while installing. Great idea and product! Wish we knew about it before!!
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
Enjoy your A/C again, Thank you

After reading all the positive reviews I decided to order a kit for the Coleman a/c unit in our 2019 KZ 301BHSE travel trailer. Ordered on a Sunday evening. Received the kit Wednesday afternoon! Instructions are straightforward and easy to follow. The new kit fit perfect aligning the holes in the kit to the holes in the metal frame mounted in the ceiling. And it did literally take only about 15 to 20 minutes to install. The filter is better than the ones that come with the a/c from the factory. The new kit also seals to the roof unit better eliminating air leaks around the ceiling assembly that were present with the factory unit. We hardly ever used the air dump feature for the living room on the factory one so won’t miss it. I have to say the main unit is more quiet but also the amount of air coming out of the vents in the front bedroom and rear bunkhouse is noticeably increased. Also compared to the factory assembly this unit has a larger vent opening for air going in to the a/c to be cooled. That might account for the increased airflow to the ducted vents. I agree the kit is pricey but I can see our a/c being more efficient come this summer.
Roland Dezentje (verified owner) –
Wow! lessened the noise by 8 DB. Easy install. Every hole lined up to my Coleman Mach unit. Plus it looks better than the square grate that was on there.
Kerry (verified owner) –
I installed this Silencer on my Coleman Mach and I love it. It does a great job forcing more air thru the interior vents and it definitely quiets down the sound. I can now watch TV in the living area and Im even a little hard of hearing. Great product!!
Rob Volk –
The RV A/C Silencer does what it’s name implies. Our 35 ft. KZ toy hauler has one big ducted air conditioner in the main salon and was noisy. The kit was complete, installation easily accomplished with a Phillips screwdriver and results in a quieter AC operations. Now we do not have to turn up the TV to hear over the AC roar. Highly recommend it.
Jim Y (verified owner) –
The A/C Silencer was easy to install with no problems and the finished product was significantly quieter than before. I would highly recommend this product.
Don Tardiff –
Your RV Silencer is a game changer. I just installed it in 15min in my 2019 Aspen Trail by Dutchman and we can actually stand in the kitchen area and have a conversation without screaming at each other. I would and will highly recommend youR product to family and friends. Why this isn’t installed at the factory is beyond me, if I was a manufacturer I would contract with you to provide these at my facility.
Thank you,
Don Tardiff
Bob Voigt (verified owner) –
I recieved it today and installed it. I can’t believe how quit it is. Also there is more air flow when ac is running.
Lori McAfee (verified owner) –
I am very happy with both the personal service from Darrell, answers to my questions, and the product performance. It was easy, very fast, and immediately helpful in reducing the annoyance of the AC.
Thanks again Darrell!
Alex (verified owner) –
Just added this to our 2019 Entegra Odyssey 26D Class C. It works for us and certainly lowered the noise level to where we can converse more easily and watch TV without turning up the volume as loudly as we used to do.
J Myers (verified owner) –
And I forgot to mention the filter is aces! It is actually going to filter the air!
J. Myers (verified owner) –
Gents, Apologies for a long delayed review of your WACKO grill. Full disclosure! This is a 2013/14 View Profile 24G with a Coleman Mach 8 ducted unit installed near the rear bedroom. The early Mach 8s’ were as loud as an F-4 Phantom in re-heat on take off. So loud inside and out. Yes you could hear it running from 300′ away. Inside it was like a saw mill. Annoyingly loud in the rear of the coach. As a result, i made several ‘McGuyvers’ to reduce the exterior and interior noise levels: vibration damping the bonnet using foil faced butyl roofing tape; replacing the 6 blade turbine fan with an improved three blade ‘elf ear’ version; building a ‘turning vane’ to smooth the air flow in side the intake; adding a Perfect Casita Mach 8 “hush” kit that reduces the condenser fan’s speed about 2/3 to 1/2 and the low restriction grill on the bonnet. So it’s not a stock out of the box unit.
I bought a CA-200 back in June or July 2019. I was overtaken by events and weather and I didn’t install it until September 2019 when I could do some sound measurements on a calm day. It was probably over done with 30 measurements and 90 data points. The results appeared to show that the grill does reduce sound levels inside the RV. They are reduced more as you approach the intake grill. That probably means that the sounds are not transmitted to other parts of the RV. That’s good! Subjectively, sitting in the driveway it was quieter. The first impression is that the roaring and mechanical noise of the unit is reduced. I wasn’t able to test it on the ‘road’ until about November 2019. The same positive results. The best comment I can make is that even with my McGuyver mods (as quiet as it was) there was a constant background roaring sound toward the rear of the coach. Sometimes I didn’t want to turn the unit on as it was annoying. After installing the WACKO and ‘putting some miles on it’ I don’t give it a second thought. Just turn on the AC or heat and enjoy yourself. About the only sounds now are from the ducted vents. Going front to back of the coach you hardly notice that the unit is actually running except for the low noise from the vents.
The kit is of very high quality. The fit and finish is perfect. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. There was a very minor screw alignment problem on my unit with the ‘baffle’ installation. I suspect that there was a change in Coleman’s design or WBGO did a hamfisted install and got the unit’s base slightly sprung out of alignment. Quick work with a drill and no problems.
Good job Lads! Good JOB!!!
Craig Dick (verified owner) –
Very easy installation and made a significant difference in the noise level. I will be ordering another one for the other air conditioner in our 5th wheel. I definitely recommended this product.
Gary Renschler –
Cross reference guide would be helpful. Have a Jayco Eagle
Darrell Abts (store manager) –
A Reference guide would not be accurate as RV manufacturers can switch A/C brands anytime with out notice. Also it is common to replace a A/C unit with a different brand. If you are not sure of what you have just send me a picture of the inside ceiling assembly of your A/C. to [email protected] . Thanks
Ken –
As most of the other reviews stated, I bought one to test it and immediately placed my order for two more to complete my toy hauler. I can’t speak for increased airflow thru the ductwork but it makes complete sense, but I can easily attest to the significantly reduced noise level. Also the kit design is perfect, everything is included that you need and no surprises to install, all you need is a phillips screwdriver and a few minutes to make a significant improvement. Quality is top notch.
Brad Bloomer (verified owner) –
Good product, installation was not difficult. I appreciated the foil tape provided, I used it extensively to patch gaps. I added thumb screws to secure the plastic shroud to facilitate easier cleaning. I bought a second after installing the first.
andrew bereznak (verified owner) –
this product makes a TREMENDOUS difference. i have coleman air conditioners and installed one. your site says there is a 3 – 5 decibel reduction, but i am quite sure it is more than that. i ordered a second one after verifying it would make a difference. i am very happy. my only wish is that when i added my third ac unit i would have taken the time to tie it into the ductwork so i could install a third (instead i took the easy way out and made it ductless).
JAMES SHIREY (verified owner) –
Thank you for developing a needed product that works. We received it and installed it on our main living area ac and immediately noticed the difference in ac sound and also better air flow. Very happy with your product we ordered a second unit for our bedroom a/c . Will order a third unit for the third a/c in the garage of our toy hauler. Bottom line is this product does what it says it does.
Bill –
Thank you for shipping so fast. I did get before our trip out. The install was simple and we are very happy. I did wait to write this review because I waited to make sure it solved my air flow issue. IT WORKS. no more frosting up. You are going to do well. Thanks again Bill and Lori
