I had a problem connecting to my AC unit with Bluetooth and the support team at Velit bent over backwards to help me figure out the solution. They were very patient and generous. I couldn't be happier with the result.

Good company

Raleigh at Velit was soooo helpful with the error I was getting on my heater. First walking me through a few troubleshooting steps via phone then letting me come to their shop for some hands on help. So kind and professional and made sure I understood the mechanics on my level. If you have an issue with your Velit, dont hesitate to submit a support ticket—they will go the extra mile to get you back on track.

Really good product and customer service

Velit 2000U – Long-Term Owner Review I’ve been running the Velit 2000U 7,500 BTU 12V under-bench air conditioner since 2024, so this is based on extensive real-world experience rather than a first impression. I’ve used it in two different motorhomes: a 1992 Hymer S700 and my current 2006 Hymer S830 A-class. It has travelled extensively with us throughout the UK and on trips through France and Spain, including prolonged periods where temperatures regularly reached 35–38°C (95–100°F). Why off-grid air conditioning matters to us We travel with two large dogs, an Alaskan Shepherd and a German Shepherd, so air conditioning isn’t simply about making the motorhome more comfortable — it’s about keeping them safe in extreme temperatures. Before fitting the Velit, we had a near disaster when the campsite shore power failed while we were away from the motorhome. Our existing mains-powered air conditioning became completely inoperable. Thankfully we avoided a serious situation, but it was a huge wake-up call about relying entirely on campsite electricity when travelling with animals in hot climates. The Velit has genuinely been a lifesaver for us. Because it runs from our own 12V battery and solar system, we have independent cooling even if campsite power fails. That gives us a level of safety and peace of mind we simply didn’t have before. Installation The under-bench design is one of the things I like most about the 2000U. It keeps the roof clear for solar panels, doesn’t add significant height to the vehicle and keeps the weight lower than a traditional rooftop unit. In my S830, the unit is installed in the garage area and ducted into the living space. This has worked very well and provides comfortable, distributed cooling rather than simply dumping cold air from a rooftop unit. As with any under-bench system, proper installation and unrestricted airflow are important. Cooling performance For a 7,500 BTU 12V inverter system, the performance has genuinely impressed me. In normal UK summer conditions it cools the motorhome extremely well. The real test, however, has been southern Europe. At 35–38°C (95–100°F) and sometimes higher, the Velit has continued to make a substantial difference. The S830 is a large A-class motorhome and considerably bigger than many of the vehicles these systems are installed in, so expectations have to be realistic. Nevertheless, it has kept the interior considerably more comfortable, allowed us to sleep properly and, most importantly, helped keep our dogs safe during extreme heat. Off-grid electrical system My installation has a 480Ah lithium battery bank, Victron charging equipment and over 500W of solar. This allows the Velit to be used for extended periods rather than just short bursts. The combination of the 12V inverter compressor, substantial battery capacity and solar generation makes it a genuinely useful off-grid air-conditioning system without needing a generator or campsite hookup. Noise and reliability The Velit is impressively quiet compared with traditional rooftop RV air conditioners and is perfectly acceptable to sleep with. Most importantly, after extensive use since 2024 across two motorhomes, thousands of miles and some seriously hot European conditions, it has proven extremely reliable and has continued to perform faultlessly. Overall The Velit 2000U has exceeded my expectations. It offers effective 7,500 BTU cooling from a 12V off-grid system, while being quiet, compact and practical for motorhome installation. Having used it extensively since 2024 across the UK, France and Spain, including temperatures approaching 38°C/100°F, I would have no hesitation recommending it. For us, travelling with two large dogs, it provides something far more important than comfort: confidence that we can keep them safe even when campsite power can’t be relied upon.

Fast delivery good product

Velit customer service was very responsive, friendly, and helpful. Would give them 10 stars if I could!

Even a great product can have problems. What the company behind the product does is the real measure of quality. Installed a Velit 2000R on my uninsulated Promaster, in June, in Las Vegas, 112 degrees midday. Was 130+ in the van. Let it run for 6+ hours powered buy my 800w of solar and it quietly pumped 45 degrees air into the van the whole time and left 100+ w going to my batteries. Impressive! A week into my first trip it stopped blowing cold. Contacted Velit, and same day, online, they determined likely damage during shipping and had a new unit shipped out to me the next day. No questions, no hassle. Great product, even greater customer service. Very cool, pun intended!
