When the heat sticks around long after sunset, this unit keeps things comfortable without relying on hookups or an inverter. The Velit 2000R runs directly on 12V DC and pushes 8,000 Btu of cooling power, using as little as 250 watts in Eco mode. It’s built for off-grid setups where battery banks and solar systems do the heavy lifting, so you can stay cool even when there’s no generator humming in the background.
Once it’s running, the sound barely rises above a quiet conversation. Eco Mode hums along at just 45 decibels and even Boost Mode only reaches 58 dB, about the level of steady white noise. You’ll still hear the breeze, the rain, or the woods around you instead of fan noise buzzing overhead. The airflow stays consistent at 250 CFM, so you get smooth cooling without the racket.
Most small RVs and vans already have a 14" × 14" roof fan cutout—and that’s exactly what this AC fits. The non-ducted design makes installation straightforward: remove the old fan, mount the new unit, and wire it up using the included gasket, trim panel, mounting hardware, and 15-ft wiring harness. Fewer parts mean less setup time and more time to relax in cool air.
At just 31-1/2" long by 31-1/2" wide and only 7-1/8" tall, this compact rooftop system keeps your rig’s silhouette low while freeing up space for solar panels or gear storage. Weighing only 66 lbs, it’s light enough for one or two people to handle during install without special equipment. The tough housing stays stable on rough roads and in dusty conditions up to 125°F (52°C).
You don’t have to get up to change the temperature. Adjust settings right on the onboard control panel, use the included remote from bed, or connect through the Velit Bluetooth app when you’re lounging outside. It’s flexibility built in—three easy ways to tune your comfort whether you’re settling in for sleep or cooling down after a long day outside.

Nice and powerful. Reasonably easy to i nstall
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
