This video demonstrates a high-efficiency 12V roof-mount RV air conditioner designed for solar-powered setups. The unit features an inverter compressor and brushless fan, operating at a quiet 40 decibels. The presenter tests the unit's cooling performance and low-profile design before discussing its installation requirements and battery connectivity.
12 volt roof mount RV air conditioner.
That's pretty. Check that out. They were kind enough to send us some specifications.
It's an EER13 high efficiency mower cooling with lift power. It's ideal for solar. You gotta run
all night on battery power. Ultra quiet 40 decibels. Inverter compressor. Brushless fan.
Two year warranty. Noise level inside. Air flow. Thank you. That's what they want us to do.
All right. We're gonna do what Dude RV does. We're gonna set it up right here on the patio.
Power it up right here on the patio. And then in a little, in a couple, in a few weeks,
six weeks or so, we will be installing that in a travel trailer. Pretend this is the roof of an RV.
Pretend this is the interior ceiling of an RV. And we don't have to pretend that we have a big
battery right there. So I'm going to put that up there and connect it to that. And we're going to
turn it on and see how it operates. I like that. That's like six inches. That's like super low
profile. Very aerodynamic. So I got to trim out the interior and I'll be back.
We're blowing cold air. Let's go in the RV. Well, now we're inside our demo RV.
We have the remote. We have power, mode, several modes. There's eco, there's night,
timer. That's just the fan. And there we are with the air. Take the temperature up,
take the temperature down. It's really quiet. Oh, you have lights. How about that? That's cool.
It's very quiet. Makes less noise than the little VIVOR unit that I put on the drop box.
This is awesome. This would be a great upgrade. I was surprised when I was putting this in. I
realized this will go into a smaller opening. It doesn't have to be a 14 by 14. So if you're
worried about cutting a hole in the roof of your van, you can actually get away with
this size opening right here. Because literally this is where the air is moving. Okay, we are
moving right along. We have a little over 12 feet of cables, probably 15 feet of cable going
to go to the battery. What I find to be interesting is that it's exterior.
So most of your motor homes, like when I put one of these in on my big Super C, I had to run it
through the air duct to get the power to the battery. So you'll need to plan on installing
a gland or some way to get your power cable into the battery. Yeah, that should be simple enough
and you will not need it. I mean, it's turnkey. You're ready to connect directly to the battery
and it even includes a 60 amp fuse. Yeah, very, very simple. I bet anybody could do this.
All right, here's what the opening actually should look like. It's nine and a half inches
that you have to have to get this installed. That's it, just nine and a half inches. Okay.
