Low-Profile Rooftop A/C Works Well for Truck Bed

This 12V rooftop air conditioner is a strong option for keeping a dog cool in a truck bed with a fiberglass topper. At around 45 pounds, it is low profile and sits only about 2 inches below the interior ceiling. Installation required cutting a hole in the topper, and metal electrical struts were added to spread the weight. Temperature can be adjusted with a remote, but Bluetooth is missing, which would allow monitoring while driving. It has performed well and is considered worth the cost.

Pros
  • + low profile design
  • + lightweight at around 45 pounds
  • + works well for cooling a dog in a truck bed
  • + remote temperature control
  • + worth the cost
Cons
  • − no Bluetooth for monitoring while driving

Quiet 12V RV Air Conditioner Works While Driving

This 12V rooftop air conditioner replaces a 110V Dometic unit and weighs less, making it easier to carry up a ladder and mount. Installation requires cutting the provided mounting studs, and the smaller interior bezel may leave a gap that needs covering. It is quieter than the Dometic, cools a Class B adequately, and can run while driving. The heater works but is noisy at night. The remote beeps with each button press, while the iOS app does not. The manual lacks some details on remote buttons and temperature probes, but email support is responsive. Suitable for driving, boondocking, or 110V/inverter use.

Pros
  • + Quieter than Dometic
  • + Lighter weight
  • + Works while driving
  • + Adequate cooling for Class B
  • + Responsive email support
  • + Affordable
  • + iOS app avoids beeping
Cons
  • − Mounting studs require cutting
  • − Interior bezel smaller than Dometic, leaving a gap
  • − Heater noisy at night
  • − Remote beeps with each button press
  • − Manual lacks details on remote buttons and temperature probes

Solid 12V Rooftop AC for Off-Grid Camper Van

Installed on a 2025 Ram Promaster 3500 camper van, this 12V air conditioner runs directly from a 12V battery system without needing a large inverter. Installation takes time but is manageable for those comfortable working on their own van, and it started up without issues. It keeps the van comfortable for sleeping at night. In direct sun during the day, cooling takes a while, as expected from a 10,000 BTU unit; insulated window covers help significantly. It is quieter than expected, especially on lower fan settings.

Pros
  • + runs directly from 12V battery system
  • + no large inverter needed
  • + quieter than expected on lower fan settings
  • + keeps van comfortable for sleeping at night
  • + started up without issues
Cons
