Customer Reviews for VEVOR Truck Air Conditioner, 12V 10000 BTU RV Rooftop AC Unit, 350 m³/h Airflow, Cooling & Heating 2 in 1 Function Cab Air Conditioner, Quiet A/C Unit for Semi Truck Trailer Motorhome Tractor Caravan

100% recommend, installed this on my cat track loader after the dealer wanted $8000 for a ac system. Works great, low profile Maybe took 1 hour to install Works great in every way.

Easy install, works awesome. I'd been waiting to review until I actually got to run it through it's paces, and it's functioned perfectly. Cools surprisingly well for 12V, and heats enough to at least take the chill off but I won't know more until it actually gets cold here. I need to upgrade my battery bank and solar, but that's not at all the fault of this rooftop AC.

Quality is good. Easy install. Difficult operating instructions. Rerouted power wires internally which took some time.

This system is a universal unit that I used to install as a replacement for a coleman mach 8 AC unit. I was switching from AC powered to DC powered. The unit is by far lighter (almost 40lbs) and smaller, by at least a foot in length. Instructions for installation were better than most Chinese sourced products, but lacking in clearness. The pictures are terrible for the most part. One of my main issues is the zero instructions for installing the seal. The seal that comes with the unit is way too big for the unit so you will need to cut it. The problem becomes placing the seal into place without creating too much stress, you will need to not only cut it to fit the hole, but cut into your new edges so you can fold it without overstressing the new point. You want the seal as flat as possible. The second major issue is the bracket. Their instructions never go over depth. No where is it shown or stated the depth of where everything lands. I used the original units 14 inch squared steel bracket to brace the single beam bracket that comes with the unit. While a robust bracket, it is very thick in shape and intrudes into the cabin. It will also space the head until off of the ceiling. The accompanying shroud is a waste. In most cases you will need to fabricate your own shroud to bridge the gap created by the bracket. The head unit is fine, some of the icons are very similar to each other, but the included instructions are excellent it telling what each one does. The C to F switch is probably my only major gripe. The head unit can only be switched to F when off by holding the up button and waiting for a beep. Since this is on the ceiling and trying to control it via the head unit isn't ideal you will tend to use the remote. Unfortunately the remote instantly switches the unit back to C. There is no way I can find to switch back to F or keep it on F when using the remote. Aside from that, overall the unit is well made. The wiring for the unit should not be extended as it is the bare minimum for the amps this unit needs to run. It does come with and inline fuse. The wire is setup outside of the unit. If you want to run this through the unit you will need to drill and seal any holes you create. Otherwise you can run this down your vent stack for your refrigerator adding no holes to your roof. For the price and the use case it is a decent deal. I picked vevor, but this is a common unit sold by others for way more money with exactly the same features. Stick with the Vevor version as their price is fair and you have some semblance of support should you need to it. This is a DIY system and what I expected. Pictures below are my original 14 inch bracket, the black bracket it comes with and the head being spaced away from the ceiling. This could be a problem if you have a fridge that opens close to the ceiling.
