Real air conditioning for off-grid vans and RVs — no shore power, no inverter, no generator. The VELIT 2000R is a DC-powered rooftop air conditioner built from the ground up for van life: it runs natively on your battery bank, keeps a slim 7.1-inch profile above the roof, and drops into the standard 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" roof opening. Choose 12V, 24V, or 48V at purchase to match your electrical system. Available in Black or White (Gray available on 12V).
True DC Power — No Inverter Required
The 2000R runs directly on 12V, 24V, or 48V DC, so there is no inverter loss and no oversized inverter to buy. Draw is 20-60A at 12V (10-33A at 24V), with a rated power of 720W — efficient enough for extended off-grid cooling on a lithium battery bank.
Ultra-Low Profile
At only 7.1" tall with a 31.7" x 31.7" footprint, the 2000R keeps your van's roofline low for garages, clearance, and aerodynamics, and it weighs just 66 lbs.
Efficient Twin-Cylinder Rotor Compressor
The DC-powered twin-cylinder rotor compressor delivers 8,000 BTU of cooling while sipping power, and it stays quiet doing it: approximately 55 dB in Eco mode and 65 dB in Boost mode, so you can sleep through the night in comfort.
Built for Real Heat
The 2000R keeps delivering cool air in operating temperatures from 38-125°F, charged with R134a refrigerant (750g).

Fitment and installation
The 2000R drops into a standard 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" rooftop opening and stands only 7.1" tall above the roof. It is a complete kit — mounting brackets, sealing gasket, mounting hardware, interior trim panel, remote, and wiring harness are all in the box. On a flat roof, such as an RV roof, no sealant is required. On a van roof or any uneven surface, sealant is required and purchased separately — and on a Ford Transit, the curved roof needs a leveling solution: our Air Conditioner Aluminum Furring Kit for Ford Transit.
Year-round climate
Pair the 2000R with the Velit 4000P gasoline/diesel heater at $689 for heat in the cold months — the same van, covered in both directions.
