Karen, the Velit 2000R RV AC w/ Remote - Ductless - 8,000 Btu # VE87QV weighs 66 lbs, which is significantly lighter than many 13.5k or 15k BTU RV ACs that often push 90–100 lbs. That lighter weight makes it easier for DIY installs and keeps your van’s roof load lower, which is especially nice if you’re balancing it with solar panels.
Are you planning to mount solar alongside? What RV / van is this going on?
