Introducing the Dometic RTX 2000 -12 Volt Air Conditioner, a highly sought-after cooling solution for camper vans! This cutting-edge, third-generation Dometic CoolAir has established its reputation over a decade in Europe, setting new standards for energy efficiency and cooling power. Unlike its predecessors, the RTX 2000 rooftop unit boasts more than double the cooling capacity within the same operating time, thanks to its innovative variable-speed inverter compressor.

Our Recommendations for Dometic's Optional Installation Kits

If you're aiming for a straightforward installation, your best bet is to purchase both the "installation hardware kit" and the "wiring kit." These kits will provide you with everything necessary for the installation. They are shipped in three boxes (one for the AC unit and two for the kits). However, keep in mind that this option can be pricey, and some parts might not be necessary for all installations. For example, the "installation hardware kit" includes a bulky interior trim piece that doesn't fit well with most van builds and a 24-volt wiring harness that won't be compatible with a 12-volt AC. The "wiring kit," while convenient, may be considered expensive if you’re comfortable with a DIY approach.

In our opinion, the "installation hardware kit" is essential for a smooth installation, as it includes vital components like crossbars, brackets, threaded inserts, and bolts. We highly recommend purchasing this kit. However, if you're looking to cut costs and have the necessary skills, you could skip the "wiring kit" and opt for your own wiring setup using the recommended components listed below.

One important thing to consider is that if you choose not to use the Dometic "wiring kit" and later need warranty support, you'll need to prove that your wiring isn't the issue. To do this, document your installation with photos and ensure your wiring is appropriately gauged and functional, demonstrating the voltage at the connection point with the AC unit.

Another point to note is that the "installation hardware kit" comes with a shorter gasket for the roof, while the "wiring kit" includes a taller gasket. If you decide to skip the "wiring kit," be aware that you'll only have the shorter gasket.
