The Dometic Coolair RTX 2000 creates pleasant temperatures for up to twelve hours before the battery monitor gives advance warning and finally cuts off the power supply to keep the engine ready to start. The even more powerful RTX 2000 uses its ample capacity to face hot temperatures in the truck cabin for up to twelve hours. Added to this, the CoolAir is amazingly quiet in operation. The two-cylinder compressor works unnoticeably, leaving the driver to rest perfectly to enjoy all the comforts of the parking cooler: the large, high-contrast display, the individually adjustable air distribution, the four operating modes - and the adaptive automatic mode of the air conditioner. Truck drivers are fascinated by the enormous staying power of the CoolAir RTX.

Ok. How long will the regular batteries run that AC?

[@jonathanmarc8629]

Depends on variety of factors but about 8 hours

[@brentwalden6215]

@@jonathanmarc8629 I have to remember that regular batteries do still have their place and still perform. Dang all that lithium hype!

[@carlosnino4393]

New battery more than 8 hours i am very happy in my kw

[@corporatebarber6763]

Hey Johnathan, Nathaniel here, I just spoke to you over the phone . Be sure to make an in depth video showing not only the physical GTX 2000 AC install itself however instruct us DIY people on the wiring of the cables/battery post/power banks etc, which fuses and or breakers to use. Keep up the good work thank you

[@jonathanmarc8629]

Oh hot dang love the bonus scenes

[@marqueswilsonn]

Put a lithium ion battery bank in between the frame rails. They’re light and last a long time.

[@jaimelopez9738]

How long will it run with the truck off without draining the batteries to the point it won't crank on?

[@hifiwifiguy1024]

I never really understood the principal of running a separate "voltage sense" line when you have the exact same connection to the main power line. Couldn't I just tap and fuse it off the main line?

[@nancyploski4054]

If I decided to go this route where can I go for install? We just had a mini split that died on us and we’re looking at other options. Would be a 2017 freightliner cascadia. And about how much is it to install?

[@elmerv1179]

Can this unit be used while the truck is moving or just like apu that won’t run whenever you start driving?

[@Mandonuts]

Will this work connected to a invertor generator?

[@kyvirlogistics4993]

So I have a sunroof on my Freightliner Classic, it's a downward sloping angle. This is where I would like to put an AC unit since there is already an existing hole. Can I still install this at an angle?

[@NomadicInnovations]

Absolutely you can! Thanks for your inquiry 😁👍

[@vroor32]

Does both Heating & cooling? or just cooling cooling?

[@bhupindercheema399]

Do I can run on generator??

[@ChopsMarkets]

Would he get through a full 10 hour break and still have enough juice to start the truck?

[@carmas54]

What gauge wire is required to power the ac … 4?

[@jonathanmarc8629]

4awg but it comes with the ac

[@hifiwifiguy1024]

How does it drain condensation?

[@boris1779]

Can I mount on bag wall of my Volvo ?

[@g41thomas]

What is the total cosr

[@Justkissthis]

I have the same unit and i don’t think it’s enough in stx so i run the front and the roof top

[@NomadicInnovations]

Hi there @lerotstevens5207, Thanks for sharing your experience with the unit. It's true that sometimes, depending on the external conditions and the size of your space, one air conditioning unit might not be sufficient to maintain the desired temperature, especially in hotter climates. Running the front AC along with the rooftop one seems like a practical workaround, but it's always a good idea to consult with a professional to find the most efficient solution for your specific needs. It's possible that there may be other ways to improve the efficiency of your current setup, such as increasing insulation or checking for any maintenance needs. Stay cool and enjoy your adventures!

[@Mandonuts]

How big is your truck? Are you powering with the truck batteries?

[@martinsantillan2538]

I need one like that where can I contact you? Thanks

[@NomadicInnovations]

Hello @martinsatillan2538 give us a call at 480-576-2489 and a rep will get you taken care of.

[@jonplay3602]

Is there someone in Texas that does insulation

[@stevenpalmore4299]

6k ??? Power inventor RV roof mount ...way way less ...

[@joshuamoore3846]

Yeah, I get that their technology is cool, but their products are severely overpriced and nowhere near efficient enough for what you're paying

[@jwtolbert524]

Cutting a big hole in top of your baby 😫 NOPE😢

[@kennethjohnson7727]

I...i.

[@ivansidoruk7542]

3k$$$!!!!! for an AC??? no thanks

[@NomadicInnovations]

Ivan - We don't sell this company's products any longer, and the post is a couple of years old... but in terms of price, you often get what you pay for in the DC-powered mobile AC market. Even today with our Nomadic Cooling X3, X2 and S1 AC units, we constantly strive to maintain our leadership as innovators in the industry. The cost for state-of-the art cooling technology is not cheap, you're right about that... but comparable units to ours don't always deliver on their promises or published specs. Our products do. We stand by our products with extended warranties, repairs and replacement parts to protect your investment, and our customer support is top-notch when it comes to installing and troubleshooting. We hope you're able to find a product that will work for your needs, and thank you for the comment.
