Dometic RTX 2000 - Ultimate 12V Van Air Conditioning for Off-Grid Comfort!

Picture this: it’s 95°F outside, you’ve just wrapped up a long day of hiking, and now you’re back in your cozy camper van… but it’s hot as a furnace. Cue the Dometic RTX 2000, your van’s very own superhero air conditioner. Whether you’re deep in the desert or parked by the ocean, the RTX 2000 ensures you’ll stay cool without draining your battery or making a sound louder than a whisper. Welcome to van life’s coolest secret weapon—literally.

Power Up: The Best 12V AC For Vanlifers

The Dometic RTX 2000 isn’t your average air conditioner—it’s designed by van lifers, for van lifers, making it the perfect addition to your off-grid adventures. With 6,824 BTUs of cooling power, this 12V rooftop beast can bring the heat down fast, even when temps outside are pushing 120°F.

Want to know the best part? You won’t be burning through your battery, thanks to its super-efficient variable-speed inverter compressor. Translation: this bad boy is smart enough to crank up or down depending on how hot things are, keeping you cool while sipping just 19 amps in Eco mode. Oh, and it’s whisper quiet, so you’ll barely hear it running while you snooze under the stars.

Ready to Chill for Hours

What’s better than getting cool fast? Staying cool for up to 12 hours on a single charge, of course! The RTX 2000 is built to run all night long, keeping you and your van cozy without killing your battery. Pair it with a 180Ah+ battery bank, and you're golden for those long, hot summer nights.

No Sweat Installation (We’ve Got You Covered)

Worried about installation? Don’t be. We’ve included the full kit—wiring, hardware, the works—so you can get this beauty mounted and running in no time. All you need is the right-sized hole in your van's roof (18.9" x 15.3"), and boom! You’re in business. (Pro tip: make sure you have the RV roof sealant handy to keep things leak-proof).

Here’s what’s in the box:

• Dometic RTX 2000 Air Conditioner (aka, the MVP)
• Installation hardware kit
• 12V wiring kit

What’s not included? Batteries and fuse breakers—grab those separately.

The Dometic RTX vs. Nomadic: Cooling Showdown

Now, we know you’ve probably heard of the Nomadic Cooling systems, but let’s break down why the Dometic RTX 2000 is the choice for serious van lifers.

• Power & Efficiency: Both systems boast 6824 BTUs, but the RTX takes the cake with its ultra-efficient Eco mode. Plus, Dometic has been in the game for decades, so you know you're getting top-quality engineering.
• Installation Ease: With the RTX, everything you need comes in one package, while Nomadic systems tend to require extra parts or more complicated setups.
• Noise Level: RTX is known for its quiet operation (<70 dBA), perfect for peaceful sleep. The Nomadic AC tends to be a little noisier, which might not be ideal if you’re parked in a quiet wilderness spot.
• Battery Life: While both units are designed to run off a 12V system, the Dometic RTX's variable-speed compressor gives you more control over power consumption, making it easier to stretch those precious amp hours.
