Almost all RV air conditioners run off 120-volt AC electricity, which is what most campers call “shore power” or “grid power.” And as many RV owners learn to their dismay, you need to be plugged into a power pedestal or a generator to operate your air conditioner. Otherwise, misting fans it is!

But what if … there was a 12V RV air conditioner? What if there was an air conditioner that ran off your batteries, just like your water pump? What if you could – gasp – run your air conditioner off-grid and not pay $5,000 in lithium batteries and a 3000-watt inverter for the privilege? 

It turns out … there are 12-volt RV air conditioners!
