In the summer of 1966, Sheldon Coleman, head of the Coleman Company, took a motorhome trip and found the coach too hot to sleep in. Rather than complain, he gave his engineers a deadline: before next summer's trip, build an air conditioner that could cool a coach down. In 1967 Coleman introduced the PolarPal, the first RV air conditioner. Nearly sixty years later, the Wichita factory that grew out of that request has built millions of units.
The RV climate business stayed with the Coleman Company until 1991, when Airxcel was formed through the acquisition of two Coleman business units in Wichita, Kansas. Today the line is sold as Coleman-Mach, one of Airxcel's brands alongside names such as Suburban, Maxxair and Aqua-Hot. Its corporate office and manufacturing plant share one address in Wichita, and the company counts more than 8 million units built for RVs and specialty vehicles worldwide. The line has grown from a single rooftop unit into air conditioners, heat pumps, ceiling assemblies, thermostats and conversion kits for RVs, boats and off-road vehicles.
HVAC365 carries the Coleman-Mach 13,500 BTU low-profile rooftop air conditioner with a soft-start feature, listed in our RV and truck air conditioners collection. A low-profile design keeps the rooftop unit closer to the roofline, and soft start eases the power surge when the compressor kicks on, which helps when an RV is running on a generator or a limited campground hookup.

Soft start reduces the surge of current when the compressor starts, which makes it easier to run the air conditioner on a generator or a smaller campground electrical service.
