Chrontar Posted April 11, 2017 Im wanting to install an rv style rooftop air conditioner on my NV2500 high top. Ive seen plenty of these on Sprinters, Transits and Promasters, but never on a Nissan. Then again, I dont see as many NIssan campers as I do the other 3. I cant see why I wouldnt be able to install one, but ive just never seen it so it makes me wonder. Anyone have an opinion on this? 1 Bamps reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitebread250 Posted April 14, 2017 I have considered the same for mine. I would like one with less BTU power than the one in my camper (13,500) and with a heat strip for use when its cold out. The roof is plenty strong, so that is not a worry. Adding 10 more inches to the roof kills the few drive thru places i use now (haha). I say go for it and give us pictures and tell us how easy it was to do! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverNV Posted May 3, 2017 Would love to put one in mine as well, southern california summers are tough! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk1_62 Posted May 3, 2017 Heck, the turning radius kills a lot of drive-thrus for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrontar Posted May 25, 2017 Well I got it done, didnt do it myself though. But pretty much just the same as a Sprinter or any other van. Ill post some pics tomorrow. Now if youll excuse me I have a giant turd to pinch out of my ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrontar Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Well guys, as promised here are a few pics of my air conditioner installed...and by the way, my dump went fantastic. I had mostly gas station hot dogs the entire day, so it was a nasty one, but I survived. Glad to see you guys care....

radin2son Posted May 31, 2017 Speechless regarding the loo. Mostly glad you didn't bring us along... Low profile unit. Looks good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrontar Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Speechless regarding the loo. Mostly glad you didn't bring us along... Low profile unit. Looks good.The "loo"? Englishman? I think thats what they call the bathroom over there. But no, its not a low profile, its a Coleman Mach 1. For reference, the dome up there is a Winegard pathway satellite dome, which are 14 inches tall and the ac unit is almost as tall. I almost wish I would have gone with a polar cub, which is a low profile, but those are 9200 btw and the one I have is 11,000 btu while having almost the same power usage and being cheaper than the polar cub, but all in all im pretty satisfied with it. Its going to cool the van down in no time. Edited May 31, 2017 by Chrontar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) That should have been a ? after low profile. This isn't something we could do with our van, but it would be a great cargo option if Nissan would run some ducts to the rear to at least circulate the air. Cool air? Anyone know if the ac is "commercial" or is it similar to other units in the Nissan fleet? Edited June 1, 2017 by radin2son Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted January 4, 2018 Wait long enough and technology will develope more efficient ac units for class B RVs that will run off house batteries (lithium) and shore power. weretherussos.com has posts on using their unit off grid with 340 watt solar panels. On this forum, Jon Nelson also had a unit that could run off grid. Maybe the new owner will show up here... 1 Alaskan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
