Powerful Rooftop AC for RVs and Vans
The Nomadic Cooling X3 is built for high-performance cooling in off-grid applications such as RVs, camper vans, and overland vehicles. A cooling capacity of 11,830 BTU ensures reliable cooling even in extreme temperatures exceeding 100°F. The Nomadic X3 is compatible with 12V, 24V, and 48V DC systems, so it works with any power setup. Its brushless internal fan ensures long-lasting performance and quiet operation, making it a great choice for relaxing in your RV or van without any noisy distractions.
True Off-Grid AC System: No Engine or Shore Power Required
Nomadic Cooling X3 is a completely DC-powered unit, operating directly from your lithium battery bank. It’s compatible with solar-powered setups, so it’s energy-efficient and silent. The system includes multiple operating modes Eco, Max, Auto, and Fan-Only to balance battery usage and performance. Power draw in Eco Mode ranges from 35A to 55A, while Max Mode uses 65A to 105A. It allows users to adjust cooling to their environment.
Precision Control with Intelligent LCD Interface
With its upgraded LCD board, the X3 is easier to use in direct sunlight. The controller supports temperature selection, mode switching, and diagnostics, enabling faster response to error codes. A remote control is also included for added convenience. The microprocessor inside constantly monitors system parameters like voltage range, temperature, and fan speed, automatically adjusting to protect the unit and optimize power usage.
Durable Design Built for Mobile Environments
The X3 is built to handle the physical demands of road travel. The compressor is mounted on spring bushings, reducing wear from vibrations and potholes. The low-profile body minimizes wind resistance and fits into any 14" x 14" roof cutout. Both Arctic White and Obsidian Black color options are available to match most vehicle exteriors. Stainless steel mounting hardware, weather-resistant sealants, and thermally optimized components ensure long-lasting operation in varied environments.
Easy and Straightforward Setup
The Nomadic Cooling X3 is designed for simple installation. The flush-mount interior faceplate and wiring harness make it easy to set up. The unit integrates easily with existing 24V power systems, and users can use the included install manual for a detailed step-by-step guide.
