RV Air Conditioner, 12V 10000 BTU Rooftop Air Conditioner for RVs, Trucks, Vans, Campers, Tractor, Low Profile Quiet AC Unit, Battery Powered (w/heater)

I finally pulled the trigger and bought the OutEquipPro Summit 2 Rooftop AC with heat pump for my DIY camper van. And let me tell you OutEquipPro did not disappoint. Honestly, this thing leveled up my build. The heat pump is clutch for mild cold nights, while the inverter tech keeps power draw efficient so I can run it straight off my battery system without stressing it. Perfect for my off-grid setup and 500-watt solar array. This was one of the biggest upgrades to comfort at an affordable price yet optimal efficiency. This unit is exactly what I’ve been looking for: — Cost effective — DC power compatibility (12V/24V/48V) — Lightweight (43 lbs) — Sleek and low-profile (just over 6” tall) — Whisper quiet (40 dB) — Efficient cooling (10,000-11,000 BTU) and heating (4,500 BTU) for year-round comfort — Easy installation and wiring Installation was surprisingly straightforward. The whole process took me about 4 hours. 1. Remove ceiling panels 2. Cut roof opening (minimum 14.1” x 10.3”) 3. Attach waterproof gasket around opening 4. Add roof reinforcement 5. Mount unit and secure with base plate 6. Apply self-leveling exterior sealant 7. Route wiring 8. Reinstall ceiling panels 9. Replace interior cover panel

Above all, their customer service is amazing! I purchased the 12V unit as I thought it was both 12V or 24V compatible and the unit would detect the input voltage and change accordingly. When I got it installed I realized that was not the case and needed specifically the 24V one for my battery bank. I emailed and they got back to me within a day. Since I had already cut a hole in my van roof, they just shipped out the 24V one and let me send back the 12V one free of charge at my leisure when I got the 24V one installed. Amazing service! This is going on a 159 WB Ram Promaster. So far I am very happy with the unit. I got the heated option and it seems like it's going to work very well. The AC is actually cooler than I thought it was going to be and keeps the van cool even in full sun. Installation was very easy. I ended up routing the wiring through the return duct instead of drilling another hole in the roof and I'm glad I did. It fit perfectly once I got my ceiling installed. I opted to not use the large white shroud as I liked the look of the black metal plate better than the white. If you don't already have a hole, I would cut to the 14x9 dimensions. If you cut a 14x14, you have to slide the unit back a little bit so that the drain holes miss the gasket. Not a huge deal but I didn't realize that when cutting the hole. I used PowerGrab marine underneath the gasket just to make sure there would be no water that got in around it. The noise level is very appropriate for what the unit is. You can definitely hear it on top when it is in turbo mode, but that's just an initial blast to cool the space down and I don't think would be needed constantly. I'm located in the South East so i've been able to test it on 90-95 degree days. I agree with other reviews that the heat isn't a solution for arctic camping. It's warm and knocks the chill out of the air, but it isn't going to keep the van at 72 degrees when it is 20 outside. I really like how low profile it is. I didn't want a giant unit on my van, especially since it was going very near the back as my solar panels take up most of the rest of the front. The dometic, rtx, etc brands are a good 2-3 inches taller than this one and more expensive. So far, the unit seems very efficient. I have a 24V 200ah battery bank with 870W of solar and another ~250W when I am driving from the alternator. It runs well within that if it's a decently sunny day, even without the alternator input. Overall very pleased with the purchase.

Amazing product for the price, it works as expected. Easy to install and has a sleek design. The low profile size made it possible for an abundance of solar on the roof This 12v unit replaced an older Coleman Mach 3 which was roughly 90 or so pounds. The lighter weigh (almost half) made it much easier to complete a solo install. The new 12v is also much quieter then the old previous 110 volt ac unit. The installation were straight forward and un-complicated. The instructions are printed in large font with detailed illustrations. I installed the ac on my own over the course of 2 nights. Working a little bit each night. One thing is I wish they offered a bigger variety of hardware for those roofs that are a little bit thicker then others I have a 600ah lifepo4 system charging off of 2200 watts of solar. The Summit 2 on Eco mode draws around 16amps so this easily lets me run the unit throughout the night and charge back up during the day. The variable speed compressor is an absolute game changer for anyone looking to conserve as much battery as they can. Very little power draw compared to the previous 110v unit. I opted for the heat pump also. Which definitely takes the chill out on a chilly day. Highly recommend this lo profile ac unit for anyone off grid trying to run off battery power

Customer Service: I was very impressed with the customer service. I received helpful, detailed responses to my questions in under 24 hours. The team was knowledgeable about the product and clearly familiar with RV installations. Ease of Installation: Installation was relatively straightforward. The manual includes three different mounting options, two of which don’t require drilling through the roof for the power cable — a big plus. The unit is designed to fit standard rooftop openings, including both 14x14 inches and 14x9 inches, making it compatible with most RV setups. While the unit was originally built for truck cabs, it's well-adapted for RV use. It’s also much lighter than traditional rooftop ACs, which made it easier to lift and install. Power Efficiency: This air conditioner is highly efficient and well-suited for off-grid setups. It draws about 200–300 watts in eco or idle mode — significantly lower than most rooftop units. Power consumption varies depending on climate and use, but with our 560Ah lithium battery bank, it runs reliably without straining our system. Price Point and Features: Given the performance, efficiency, and overall build quality, the price is very competitive compared to other RV air conditioners. The interior components feel solid and well-designed. It's also available in both 12V and 24V versions, which is extremely helpful for matching different battery setups. Overall: Whether you're camping off-grid or staying at powered sites, this unit delivers excellent performance with minimal power use. Highly recommended for RVers looking for a lightweight, efficient, and affordable rooftop air conditioner

I recently installed the 12V 10,000 BTU Rooftop RV Air Conditioner, and overall, it’s a solid unit with great cooling power, especially for off-grid setups running on 12V systems. It cools quickly and runs efficiently, which is a huge plus when you're trying to manage power usage on the road or at a campsite. However, I have to be honest about the installation process—it wasn’t the smoothest experience. Removing the screws from the lid to access the panel below was more difficult than it needed to be. The placement and tightness of the screws made them hard to reach and even harder to remove without risking damage. And once you finally get to the panel, be prepared: the connectors holding the lid on are incredibly fragile. It felt nearly impossible to remove the lid without breaking at least one of them, which was frustrating considering how frequently you might need to get back in there for wiring or adjustments. That said, once everything was in place and running, the performance of the unit made up for the hassle. It's quiet, effective, and doesn’t draw a ton of power, making it a great fit for RVers looking to stay cool without draining their batteries. Just be ready to take your time (and maybe have some replacement connectors on hand) during install.

We bought this 12V rooftop air conditioner after the complete failure of our engine-mounted A/C and heating system in our 1973 Winnebago. We use the RV to tow our race cars to events, and let me tell you—driving through summer heat with no A/C is brutal. We were searching for something that could replace both the heat and cooling system, ideally without needing to run a loud, fuel-hungry generator while driving. That’s when we found this 12V rooftop unit—and it checked every box. Why we chose this unit: No generator required – Runs on 12V, perfect for driving without firing up a generator. Copper coils Brushless motors Incredibly efficient Low profile – Sits much lower than the old-school rooftop A/Cs. Important for our retro Winnebago. Our roof had been repaired years ago, and the original vent had been sealed up, so we weren’t sure what we’d be getting into. But this unit fits standard roof vent dimensions—and it worked out great. The install instructions were clear, and they even have install videos online that helped a lot. We filmed our install for our YouTube channel, and even with the added time for filming, it only took about 3 hours to install. The unit sandwiches the roof with the inside and outside sections—very DIY-friendly. It comes fully charged with refrigerant, so no HVAC pro needed. We reused the original wiring route from the roof vent fan and connected power through that. I don't say this lightly: it could not have been easier. Performance so far? Excellent. It has a Turbo mode to cool things down fast, then shifts to a lower current draw to maintain comfort. We saw vent temps in the upper 50s to low 60s—this was while driving with just a single battery and no alternator charging it. According to the specs, a 600Ah battery should give you 10–12 hours of cooling, which is huge for us when we’re boondocking without shore power or a generator. Our real-world test is coming soon at a race in mid-August up in Michigan. That’ll be the big trial—and we’ll update this review after that. For now? Couldn’t be happier.

Unit actively leaks. Because of the location of the vent fan, the unit even in light rain will collect water along the radiator that will over time drip down into the cabin. Blindingly stupid design flaw that could have been easily solved by not running a shroud over the top of the fan or shipping the unit with a cover. In addition, the design is smaller than most rv acs so good luck finding a 3rd party cover. I’ve literally had to tape the top closed to make it through the trip. Super annoying as the unit itself is actually well built despite something that should have not missed quality control.

After installing and testing the Outequip Pro 12V AC unit in my van, I can confidently say this is one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my setup. The cooling performance surprised me in all the right ways. It cools the space quickly, runs smooth, and is way quieter than I expected for a 12V system. One of the biggest things I love is the low power draw. I can run it off my battery system without stressing about draining everything in a couple hours. For van life, work vans, or anyone spending long days on the road, that’s a massive win. The installation was very straightforward. Everything is clearly labeled, the hardware feels solid, and the overall build quality is legit. Once it was mounted and powered up, the Outequip Pro felt like a factory-grade system. After using it in real conditions, the air stays cold, consistent, and reliable — even in hotter weather. If you’re looking for a dependable 12V AC solution for a van build or mobile workspace, the Outequip Pro absolutely delivers. I highly recommend it.
