You're backed into a canyon, the sun's dropping fast, but the air's still clinging to the heat. This AC hums low, sips power, and keeps your van cool so you can kick back and relax while the world sweats just outside your doors.
You've had summer trips where you soaked up every last drop of daylight. Maybe there were sweaty ridge hikes, sunbaked desert climbs, dirt on your arms, and salt drying on your neck. By the time you crawled into your rig, it was roasting inside, and the built-in fan wasn't cutting it. You probably lay there with the fan on full blast, still feeling like your skin couldn't breathe.
The Velit 2000R cools your space to a temperature your body can recover comfortably in. It runs directly off your battery bank without needing an inverter and pairs with the power system you already rely on. You don't have to trade peace and stillness for campground hookups. Breathe easier, sleep deeper, and wake up surrounded by the wild, not someone else's RV slide-out.
If you're relaxing under the stars and not ready for bed yet, you can still prep your rig without leaving the hammock. This AC gives you three ways to dial in the temp. Go old school with the onboard panel, use the included remote from your sleeping bag, or embrace technology and adjust it from your phone using the Velit app.
Ductless air conditioners, like this one, move air straight into your rig without relying on ceiling ductwork, making them ideal for vans, retrofits, or any setup where simplicity matters. With a ductless system, what you see is what you get: a rooftop unit connected directly to a ceiling assembly that pushes steady airflow into your living space. They're also perfect for adding a second AC to areas that never cool down properly, like an upper bunk or a rear bedroom.
Once it kicks on, it stays quiet. Eco Mode runs at 45 decibels, softer than a quiet conversation. Boost Mode tops out at 58 dB, more like steady white noise. It's quiet enough to hear the breeze, the rain, or whatever weird noises the woods are making, including sasquatch.
Most vans already have a 14 inch by 14 inch roof fan. That's exactly what this AC is built to fit. You're not gonna have to make sketchy measurements and cut into your roof. Just pull the fan out, drop the Velit unit in, wire it up, and you're on to cooler nights. With the gasket, mounting hardware, trim panel, and wiring harness all in the box, you're nearly set from the start. 
The compact, low-profile shape keeps things tight up top too. Its square footprint leaves room for solar panels, storage, or anything else you've got planned for your roof.
While the unit itself doesn't require additional components to operate, it's recommended to have a system in place to recharge your battery bank, such as solar panels or a generator, especially for extended off-grid use.
Ratings & Reviews
This AC is AWESOME!! Finally a unit for my R-Pod that I can just hook up to a battery! I like to to keep my set-up simple, and this does just that! I like how you can adjust the vents to blow the air where you need it, and it is so quiet too!
Perfect setup for van builds or truck camper upgrades. The A/C is quieter than expected and delivers great cooling in smaller spaces. The install is refreshingly simple just one compact rooftop unit that fits right into a standard fan opening. No extras needed. The remote is a handy addition too.
Good sturdy box arrive sooner than expected opened it up And found everything really inside. install went great. just had a little issue with the past that go to four corners between the base of the unit and the roof. The pool away covering did not peel away easily and on top of them remove the actual adhesive.
We installed the Velit 2000R 12V air conditioner in our 2021 RAM Promaster 2500, and it’s been a great addition for our off-grid family camping trips. With two adults, two kids, and two dogs, the van can get warm quickly. We usually camp in BLM (Bureau of Land Management) areas or campgrounds where we don't want to be the family with the generator, so finding something that is quiet and efficient was important. It’s pretty quiet inside, allowing us to have normal conversations even with it running nearby, and it’s barely audible outside the van so we don't annoy others in the campground.
In most reasonable temperatures, it cools the van quickly, although it did struggle a bit during a June trip to Moab where it hit 110°F. Thats more on me planning a summer camping trip to the high desert though. It did a good enough job to make it comfortable to at least fall asleep though. One thing we did run into an issue with was my battery bank. Yes, its 12V and very efficient for what it does but my 150AH lithium setup couldn't handle it all night, so I had to turn it off just as we were going to bed and let our regular vent fan run all night. I think 300AH at a minimum is what you should be running if you're looking for all night comfort(Thats my next upgrade). The REDARC BCDC got my battery up and running the next day though so I didn't worry about getting to run the AC the next day.
One big benefit we didn’t fully anticipate was how helpful it would be to run the unit while driving. Our van doesn’t have rear AC, so keeping the back cool for the kids and dogs was a huge plus. It’s also been great for quick store stops or grabbing food or groceries in places where dogs aren’t allowed. We can leave the AC on and know the van stays cool and safe. Even when we’re out hiking during the day, the ability to keep the van comfortable is a major advantage to keeping the kids motivated for more hiking. If you are truly looking to go off-grid or find some awesome campsites that don't allow generators this is a huge addition to making your camping setup a little more comfortable.
I purchased one of your new Velit 12v air conditioners and installed it in my personal demo van. I want to report it was very easy to install and has worked very well for me, albeit limited use so far. But it's everything I had hoped so far. It will almost certainly become my go-to 12v air conditioner when my customers want to go that route.
Van lifers and truck camper folks are going to love this setup. It runs quietly and puts out strong, consistent cold air exactly what you want in a small rig. I like that the whole thing installs as a single unit with no ductwork, just drop it in and wire it up.
Nice and powerful. Reasonably easy to i nstall
