48V DC Rooftop Air Conditioner for Vans and RVs
The Velit 3000R Rooftop Air Conditioner is a high-output 48V DC cooling system designed for vans, RVs, and off-grid vehicles where electrical efficiency and cooling performance are critical. Using a tuned twin-cylinder rotor compressor, it delivers up to 12,000 BTU of cooling while operating on low current at 48V, allowing it to run without a large inverter. Its slim rooftop profile fits standard roof openings and is intended for installations where space, airflow, and power management need to be carefully balanced.
Important: For van roofs or other uneven mounting surfaces, a roof vent adapter or custom gasket is recommended, and sealant is required. Sealant is not required for flat RV roof installations but is recommended as a precaution.
