I bought one in July of 23. Its been great for me. The hardest part for me was trying to understand the remote control. The unit works great and it fits in the standard 14" hole.

Great segment. Your breakdown of both the install and use of this AC was very thorough, detailed and helpful. I wonder if the van was white in color how much of a difference in degrees or ease of cooling it would make? In the beginning you were regretting taking out the exhaust fan. Curious if this new AC will work as well as the old exhaust fan without the cooling function on? Is that even possible? Thanks for taking us along during this install and sharing both your experience and thoughts. Safe, happy and Cooler travels Sir.

Great video! Do you think the Velit unit makes sense if I only have a 400amp lithium battery bank with 200W solar? I may add additional batteries

Great video! @12:45 are you putting a 60A Fuse between the AC power cable and your bus bar?

Thanks for the video. How many amp hours does this unit draw?

Is it possible to run this unit while the vehicle is in motion? We have an older Romahome campervan with absolutely no A/C, so we're looking for a system that will work in both stationary and travelling modes. I suspect the wind velocities at highway speeds might play havoc with the fan, but I am not sure... have you tried it? I also wonder anbout alternator load at the high amperages required to run the A/C unit. Also - would it be feasible to run the unit for short periods off the main vehicle battery instead of an auxiliary battery?

I am looking at ordering this. How has it been running for you?

Do you need to turn on the inverter to turn on the Velit ac?

If I'm understanding this video correct, you ran the AC for 2 hours with the temperature on it set to 67 degrees, and the van actually got hotter, not cooler?
