Vehicle Size
This RV AC unit is ideal for small to medium-sized spaces. It's a great fit for a camper or van under 20 feet or as a cooling solution for a single bedroom in a larger RV.
-
Battery Type
We highly recommend using a Lithium (LiFePO4) battery bank for this AC unit.
- Lithium (LiFePO4): Can be safely discharged to 20% or less, providing nearly full capacity.
- AGM / Lead-Acid: Should only be discharged to about 50% to prevent permanent damage.
A 100Ah Lithium battery provides approximately twice the usable power compared to a 100Ah AGM battery for running the AC unit.
-
Battery Bank Capacity
12V Model
- Current Draw: Draws about 62 amps on Max mode and 32 amps on ECO mode.
- Recommended Capacity: We recommend a 300 Ah battery bank or larger for reliable off-grid use.
- Example Run Time: A single 100 Ah lithium battery will run the unit for approximately 2.5 hours.
24V Model
- Current Draw: Draws half the current of the 12V model.
- Run Time Benefit: Using a 24V bank of the same capacity effectively doubles your total time.
-
Connection to Power
The 12V AC unit draws around 62 amps when running in Max mode. You can connect the AC unit directly to your battery bank or a bus bar, as long as the bus bar is rated to handle this amount of current.

Roof Space
- Unit Dimensions (L x W): 24.9" x 37"
- Unit Height: Under 7.5"
- Roof Opening Size: Fits a standard 14.25" x 14.25" roof vent
- Installation Surface: Must be installed on a flat roof to ensure proper condensation drainage
-
Roof Thickness
- Standard Thickness: The included mounting bolts fit a roof thickness of $2.5" or less.
- Thicker Roofs: If your roof is thicker than 2.5", longer bolts must be purchased.
- Maximum Recommended Thickness: If the roof is over 4", the inner air distribution box will be recessed, making it impossible to access the filter for cleaning.
Check Your Roof Thickness
Please enter your RV's roof thickness (measured from the rooftop to the ceiling): inches.

Off-gird
To use our 12V AC unit off-grid, we recommend a 12V battery bank with a capacity of at least 300Ah for regular use. Connect it directly to a busbar or battery bank, as the unit draws around 62 amps in its maximum mode.
-
On-grid
For on-grid operation, we recommend a 120V to 12V converter with an output of at least 80A.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the recommended wire gauge and fuse size for the AC unit?
The 12V model comes with a pre-connected 6AWG power cable and a 100A in-line fuse, its total length is 13.1 feet, with 2.85 feet inside the AC unit and the remaining 10.27 feet extending from the bottom of the unit. For the 24V model, the wire gauge is 8AWG. You can connect it directly to your battery bank or to a bus bar rated for 60-70 amps. In most cases, you won't need to purchase a power cable separately.
What's the recommended battery capacity?
A single 12.8V 100Ah lithium battery can run the 12V AC model for about 2 to 3 hours. However, for regular off-grid use, we recommend a 300Ah lithium battery bank to ensure you have plenty of power for continuous cooling and all your other needs.
Can the AC unit be installed on a slanted roof?
Yes, the unit can be installed on a slanted roof, but for proper condensation drainage, the angle must not exceed 15 degrees.
What are the roof thickness requirements for installation?
There are two requirements to consider regarding your RV's roof thickness. First, the included mounting rods are for roofs up to 2.5 inches thick. If your roof is thicker, you'll need to use longer rods. Second, the height from the top of your roof to the bottom of your ceiling must not exceed 4 inches to allow access to the air filter for cleaning.

Customer Reviews
does work great once I figured out you NEED A DEEP CYCLE M ARINE BATTERY i had three big car batteries hooked up to it still didn't run like on one deep cycle marine get two and a sollar charger my k9 queen loves it
No complaints so far. Package arrived quickly and as expected. Customer service was extremely responsive and helpful. Install was pretty straight forward. Good experience
Installation was easy, truly DIY-friendly. This 12V RV AC works as expected, effectively cooling our RV to a comfortable level. Tolerable noise too. Exactly what we needed!
Installation was a breeze, and this 12V RV air conditioner works exactly as it should
This 12V RV air conditioner has exceeded my expectations! Living in Texas, efficient cooling is non-negotiable, especially when we're off-grid. The installation was surprisingly straightforward. My partner and I, with a little help from online tutorials, had it mounted and wired in a few hours. It fit perfectly into the existing vent opening, which was a huge relief. What truly stands out is its cooling power. Even on a sweltering 95-degree day, it kept our van comfortably cool. We run it primarily off our lithium battery bank (two 200Ah batteries), and the efficiency is remarkable. It sips power, allowing us to enjoy extended periods of comfortable boondocking without worrying about draining our batteries too quickly. The low noise level is another major plus. You can definitely hear it running, but it's a soft hum rather than a disruptive roar, which is important for peaceful nights.
