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 recently installed the OutEquip 12V 10,000 BTU AC/Heater on my camper, and I’m seriously impressed. The installation was super easy — everything fit perfectly and worked right out of the box. It’s incredibly efficient and quiet, and it gives my family real peace of mind knowing we have reliable heat for winter camping and cool air for the warmer months. Whether we’re out in the desert heat or up in the mountains during winter, this unit keeps us comfortable. I highly recommend it to anyone who camps or travels year-round and wants a dependable, energy-efficient setup.

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

I’ve been living full-time in my 24-foot converted school bus for almost three years without air conditioning. Summers were brutally uncomfortable, and my travels were limited to cooler regions because visiting my favorite southern and southwestern states was nearly impossible during peak heat. This year, I decided enough was enough and started researching rooftop AC units that were efficient, low-profile, and designed for off-grid living. I came across OutEquip Pro and their 12V rooftop air conditioner, and it has completely transformed my life on the road. It runs directly off my battery system, which is perfect since I almost exclusively boondock. With 920 amp hours of lithium batteries and 1,200W of solar, I needed something that wouldn’t drain my power while still delivering strong cooling. Performance: Cooling capacity: 10,000 BTUs Power draw: 58 amps (Turbo), 29 amps (Eco), 21 amps (Sleep), 4.5 amps (Fan Only) Heating capacity (optional version): 4,500 BTUs At 45 lbs and just 6.3 inches tall, it’s lightweight and sleek compared to bulkier RV AC units. The noise level is impressively low, thanks to inverter compressor technology. Even on Turbo mode, it’s not disruptive — the loudest moment is when it first kicks on, and even then it’s minimal. In 85–90°F weather, my bus cooled down from sweltering to comfortable (around 72–73°F) within 20–30 minutes. Most days, I don’t even need Turbo; Eco mode combined with a vent fan keeps the temperature very comfortable while drawing far less power. Battery Use: With my system, running the AC for 3–4 hours at peak heat only consumes about 10% of my battery capacity, which is phenomenal. OutEquip Pro’s run-time estimates were very accurate. If you’re plugged into shore power, power use isn’t a concern, but even fully off-grid, this unit is highly efficient. Installation: I had mine professionally installed by North Bay Adventure Vans due to rewiring and adding a second battery. For most people, installation should take just a few hours, depending on skill level and tools. The Verdict: This unit has been a complete game-changer for my quality of life and travel flexibility. It’s quiet, efficient, and perfect for full-time nomads, RVers, or van lifers who need reliable cooling without sacrificing precious battery power. I highly recommend it to anyone living off-grid who wants comfort without compromise.

We purchased this unit to install on our van. The customer service was excellent. I emailed on a Saturday evening with my question and received a reply first thing Monday morning. The instruction manual was straight forward and easy to follow and understand. The unit is super quiet when running and the air flow is more than adequate (we tested both the A/C and heat).

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.

I installed this 12V rooftop AC on my 2019 Ram Promaster (extended). Overall, it's doing a good job keeping the van cool, especially when parked, but there are a few things I wish I had known beforehand. Cooling Performance: Yes, it does cool the van. I'm using a 360Ah lithium battery, and I get around 6 to 7 hours on max cooling. If you're in a hot climate, the insulation of your van will really make a difference. It won't instantly freeze the space, but after 15–30 minutes, you start to feel the difference. Power Consumption & Efficiency: It draws about 50 amps while running, which is typical for a 12V DC air conditioner. It's not "low power" per se, but it's way more efficient than running a traditional 110V unit through an inverter. What I really like is that it has a variable-speed compressor, so once the van cools down, the power draw drops significantly, sometimes closer to 30 amps when it's just maintaining the temperature. That makes a big difference if you're running off batteries. Installation: It fits the standard 14x14 opening, but I had to figure out how to route the power cable without drilling another hole on the roof. You can run it through the same opening as the return air, which I did. The included gasket is soft enough to stretch into place, but be sure to fully seal the area around the condenser or water can get in during rain (ask me how I know...). Noise Level: Not loud, but you'll definitely hear the fan. Still, quieter than most portable ACs I've used. I'm happy with it, especially for a 12V DC system. It's a good fit for van life or off grid builds, just make sure your power system is up to the task and take your time with the install. Not perfect, but worth it.

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.

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.
