I recorded the installation of my 12 volt air conditioner. In an effort to keep the video short and on topic, I cut and trimmed the video while editing every chance I could. The installation was not difficult, but it did require drilling and cutting metal, basic hand tools, and the necessary equipment to charge the system with refrigerant.

VAN LIFE IN A BOX TRUCK: A teachable moment. Learn from my mistake.
That freaking tv mount swivl is genius
The hoses are very stiff but I still get just enough movement (about 45°) from the swivel to direct the air across the rig.😊 Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the time and your effort. Need ac in my van for my dogs.
Glad to do it. Thank you for watching. 👍🏾
Hey Lamont, this is your friend Bob from Illinois. We worked on your rig (trailer 7 Way receptacle ) this past winter in AZ and you were explaining your AC mi I split I saw mounted under your truck. Thanks for the details in your video. I guess your video was recommended because I have been looking at mini-splits. See you in the group chat!
Hey Bob. You really helped me out with the 7 way. Thank you kindly. I'm looking forward to seeing the updates on your project. See you in the group chat my friend.
Does the ac split cool really good? I need one for my semi truck
Yes it does. It would probably be too cold for an average size sleeper. I'm usually in my sleeping bag when I have It running all night on the lowest setting. It also consumes about 60-80 amps per hour. That is important If you plan to run it for 10 hours during a required DOT break. It's possible it may leave your batteries too low to start your truck. On the other hand, you may already have an auxiliary power unit to supply your power needs. Good luck with your project. 👍🏾

How has this unit held up since the install?
Overall, it has held up great. It's a bit noisy at times, but it doesn't seem to effect performance. Thanks for watching.
Got a similar unit to add to the stock Carrier unit on a skoolie which isnt enough by itself for the Florida heat. 12V compressor ACs were unheard of recently, and it looks like an emerging market. Thanks for the video
I was looking at 120 volt units and was thinking, because of the size, I would have to mount it to my rear bumper or possibly a swing-away style hitch. The 12 volt units were a total surprise to me. I stumbled across a RUclips video where a young lady installed one on her van and the size was closer to what I needed. I may have unintentionally improved the efficiency of mine by mounting the outside unit under my rig and out of direct sunlight. I don't have a way to test my theory, but overall, I'm pleased with the results. Hopefully, yours will exceed your expectations. Safe travels.👍🏾
do you know how many amps it draws
60-80 amps per hour according to the manual. In actual use, have found the amp draw to be consistent with those numbers.
Does it come already pre-filled with Freon or do you have to put Freon in it?
This one did not. Once it is assembled, the system has to be placed under vacuum for a short period of time . I did 30 minutes but the instructions required less. Then I had to add the r134 that I purchased from a local store.
I heard you say you have to run a generator? Will this not work on a 12v battery alone?
Yes, It will work on 12 volt battery power alone. I have to run my generator on very overcast days and at night while the a/c is on. Without the generator or shore power my batteries would be depleted in about 4 hours. On sunny days, the solar panels will maintain the batteries while the a/c is on.
@@xlamontx ok excellent, thank you for the clarification. You did an excellent job here sir, is everything still holding up? And still cooking well?
@@user-uo9kq4sk2c Yes. It has held up well over the last year. I would certainly recommend it over a window type unit. I did received a negative review from someone that said they experienced problems with their unit. I'm not sure of the details beyond that. Thanks for your question and comments. Safe travels.
Can it be powered by a portable generator? And if so, how would I plug it in? Thanks again. Great video
This air conditioner only works on 12 volts DC. As the unit is taking power out of my batteries, I use my generator to add power back to my batteries. I have a "converter" that plugs into the generator, and it converts the 120 AC volts from the generator to a DC charging voltage (about 13.5 to 14 volts) that can safely maintain my house batteries. I did a video on this if you want to see the details. Thanks for watching. 👍🏾 ruclips.net/video/ZILzYZ6S_NM/видео.htmlsi=P-2ElcqMHAD7_nGg
I’m surprised you mounted this vertically instead of horizontally for better ground clearance & stealth.
I was prepared to do that but the clearence was acceptable for my needs.👍🏾
Hello from Scotland. Disabled 40 something considering van life because of high cost of living and low income... Kind of scary since I don't know what I'm doing. But I'm just saying hello. ^_^
Hello @aspielife9323. I'm glad you found my channel and decided to say hello. I have been in this mobile lifestyle since 2016 when I moved out of my home and it is still a bit scary at times. Fortunately for me, most of the time is just normal. Then there are the times when I'm free to meet up with friends and camp. That's when it's totally awesome. It's not a lifestyle that everyone will enjoy. Just like I didn't enjoy living in a house. It felt like a prison to me, but most people love their homes. I would say, continue looking at videos, find people sharing information about what they have experienced, and be honest with yourself about what comforts you require, and which comforts you can sacrifice. I'm not familiar with Scotland and if the laws are tolerant of vanlifers. That may play a part in your decision. Please feel free to ask questions on my videos or if you prefer, my Instagram is: @lamontzenki Take care and thanks for watching.
The three biggiest hurdles are heat source, running water, and a washroom because I know with me, waking up in the early hours of the morning I wished I built in a bathroom. You can use a portable toilet.. but then you need transportation. So you will pay money for gas for trips to empty your portable toilet.. a rule of thumb.. focus one necessity when starting your build, then add in comfort. Also factor in total weight of materials, low moderate weight will cause less wear and tear on the vehicle and will result in less fuel consumption on all trips. Lithium batteries are the way to go, just make sure you build a container for around them, keep each battery apart from one another, thermal runaway is always possible. Keep a fire extinguisher in close proximity to where you are sleeping so if you need to you can get things taken care of quickly if you need to. And you’re all set! Oh and with battery power, yes you need more power than you think you would, sometimes extra power 200Amp hour will prove to be needed over just a 100Amp hour set up ( even as a back up for your diesel heater )
Purchase one nothing but problems compressor over heats not worth it.
I'm at the one year point with mine, so far so good.
What are u using now since u didn’t like this unit.
Spray foam no good bro, absorbs moisture. Jumper cables alot cheaper and easier than specialized ass welding cable, every van build I ever did was just 20' jumper cables. That's all ya gotta do. Braided cable is the key it's more flexible. I just used like 16 guage or whatever sae it don't matter. I basically slapped cables on a victron intelligent charger to a 200mah redodo battery lithium, and it works perfectly fine. Just follow your instinct and put the right size cable on it. If it fits it ships. So just use reasonable size cable. Simple as that.
Thank you @atye04. I appreciate the information.
They painted it 'safety Steven orange'... so much for stealth install. 30 bucks extra maybe they'll rattle can it black or somethin

Thanks
Excellent content. I'm happy that worked out for you.
Thank you. Summers in the mid-south would be difficult without it. I appreciate you watching.
Thank you. About how many amps does it draw?
You're welcome my friend. About 60-80 amps.
@@xlamontx does it really? I thought maybe once at temp it would be lower
@@Fail1st 🤔 Well you got me thinking. I've only used mine on the coldest temp setting, 16°C and the slowest fan speed. The fan just gets louder as the speed goes up. Perhaps if I raise the temperature setting, the unit may behave as if there is a thermostat inside the unit. I have started the unit at about 9pm and got into my sleeping bag only to wake up at about 3am and realize the outside temperature dropped unexpectedly and the a/c has made it very cold inside. I just assumed there is no thermostat, but maybe that function is disabled when set to °16. I will have to try raising the temperature and see if it changes how the unit works. I'll have to update when I get back home and the weather conditions cooperate.
Thanks so much. Is there a way I could contact you? I just had a mechanic do the vacuum and fill the Freon fingers crossed it’s going to work from my power bank (which I think is limited to 30amp) 😬. I run freight over the road and spent more in hotels in June than this entire unit! I really hope they find a way! 🤞

Hi. Thank you for the video. I’m in a process of installing the same unit. I am checking all my tools and equipment and I found out that my vacuum hose has not the right fittings to connect to the Freon line. Both high and low pressure line s are different to my gauges hoses. So could you please tell me where you got your adapters for the fittings? Please let me know If you have links (Amazon). Thanks.
Hi there inforventure. I bought my gauges from Harbor Freight with a coupon at the time and the kit includes the r134 connectors. It the Pittsburgh brand and I paid about 50 dollars. I was going to use my old Mac Tools r12 gauges and buy the adapter but the hoses were falling apart and I decided to just grab a new kit that had the fittings included and I also wouldn't have to convert the readings on the gauges. Having said that, you didn't mention if your gauges are for the old r12 systems. If they are, here is an Amazon link to the adapters. Thanks for watching. Best of luck on your project.

Awesome video my friend. You answered some questions in this video that I was unable to find in others! I think i am going to get one of these for my Van. Rest easy today knowing you helped someone. Thank you again man
Thank you. It is good to know and it is very motivating to making these videos. I appreciate you. 👍🏾👍🏾
Wonderful video. A loot of good, practical information!
Thank you kindly.
1. I would make it a habit to video record opening and doing inventory to help prove your case if any items are missing or damaged, especially of large relatively expensive purchases. Publishing is a different story. 2. More hose and less hard-line be it PVC or metal decreases harmonic vibration which is a major factor in a traveling vehicle (goes for plumbing as well). 3. What is the exterior unit's final ground clearance? Is it the lowest component of your undercarriage? Overall, personally, I want more specific information (i.e. data points) in a video. I also own a box truck and am still designing. I intend to use a mini-split with the output in/near the sleeping area that can be curtained off. This area includes my desk & electronics. I don't need to cool the rest of the interior when sleeping. No information on the electrical draw at start-up, running to cool the space down and once achieving set temperature does it drop down?
Good comment. My a/c is the lowest item under the rig. It has 13 inches of clearence from the bottom of the metal plate I mounted it to. I'm considering air bags for the rear suspension to help with the overall weight. If I get an extra inch of clearance, it will just be a bonus. The manual says the amp draw is 60-80 amps. That is consistent with my general "test." I usually run it with the temp set to the coldest setting and the fan speed set the lowest speed (to minimise the noise).
@@xlamontx I think watt hours is the measurement most people are concerned with. There is a mini-split that runs at 800 p/h until the desired temperature setting is achieved then reduces to 200. For the area, your unit may be a bit undersized and drawing more electricity than required. The gist of my comment is proper selection of a unit for each specific vehicle requires a lot of technical data. My 16'ft box is going to have two DYI opposing slide-outs. I have not seen anybody do this. Cupboards with doors versus more open-air design affect the environment. Internal cubic feet for BTU calculations is going to differ for every vehicle, as we know. Best of luck.
@@Mark-gg6iy I've seen a loft added to a box truck. I've seen a roof raised on a box truck. Two slides on a 16 foot box truck would very likely be a first. If you plan to post pictures or video to the public, I would certainly follow that build series.👍🏾
Did you happen to measure the length of the hoses. I want to do this same install between the frame and running board/steps of my IH 4300, but am concerned about having enough length of hose to reach the evaporator inside. None of these, or similar units, provide that information. Genius idea on the swivel mount; that may fit right in with my install.
Hi, the hoses are approximately 10 feet. I went to my Amazon history to confirm and they have 118in/3meters. Thanks for watching.
Nie job, wondering did you fuse it at all. I assumed you would use fused contact blocks but I don't think you mentioned it, The newer units now,., are fully assembled gassed up and ready no pulling a vacuum or filling ... needed,, yep they are now making home direct to solar ... mini splits really nice super low amperage draws..
Thanks. Yeah I ran the larger wires from an existing fuse in my system and the unit came with an inline fuse close to where I made the connection. I didn't know about them coming pre charged with refrigerant. Its amazing how quickly the industry is adapting to consumer demand. 👍🏾

Thanks Corey. I'm trying bro.
Have the same unit. Finally installed the outside unit and hooked up the Freon lines and lost a good bit of oil from the outside unit due to my outside unit being mounted flat and not upright. Just dropped it off at the shop to get the refrigerant added and told them about the lost oil and they said it’s gonna be okay. Did you happen to lose any oil from the compressor side when installing ?
I didn't lose any oil when installing my hoses. I had some on hand just in case. Once you're up and running, you will appreciate the relief from the heat.
@@xlamontx looking forward to it!! Hoping the lost oil doesn’t cause any issues. Amazon listing said It’s POE 68. So guess I’ll have to add some if there’s any problem.
how is it so far sir ? thanks for the video btw
One year this month and it's running great. I would certainly recommend this type of system over a window unit. A roof type may be nice but they are usually more expensive and take up valuable space that could be used for solar panels.
@@xlamontx thank you!
A great video sir, thank you for this informative video.
I appreciate you watching. 👍🏽
I'm about to hook my unit up next month. Just installed 300 watts of solar and a 200 lipo4. Any tips or updates are appreciated.
I don't remember mentioning this on video, but the inside unit has a condensation drain on both ends at the bottom of the unit. One has a plug, the other is left open. I ended up adding additional tubing and a tee fitting to utilize both drains. Now it doesn't matter if I park level, the condensation will drain. I also noticed condensation build up around the expansion valve and the exposed rubber hoses connected to the expansion valve on days with high humidity. I covered them with pipe insulation (looks like a black pool noodle) and secured it with zipties. I also made sure nothing sharp could rub the hoses in the small space I used in the corner of the box. That space had sharp screws that I removed and replaced with rivets or covered over to protect the hoses. That's all that comes to mind at the moment. Hopefully your installation will be as trouble free as mine has been.👍🏽
@@xlamontx fantastic info. Thank you!
@@xlamontx got my unit installed. Works great.
@@hannibalthecollector That's awesome. I had a little scare last week. For a moment after turning on the A/C, it seem to not be blowing cold air . I had to leave for work, but when I got back, it was working fine.🤷🏾♂️ I'm calling it a fluke for now. Take care, safe travels.
@@xlamontx hoping that it actually was a fluke. Safe travels to you as well.
What about the outer part of the split? Are the ventilator and the compressor noisy? Do you think i could install it inside my van in a place with good ventilation?
The outside parts are a bit noisy at times. I get use to the sound quickly and occasionally have to stop and listen for a moment to hear it. The idea of putting it anywhere inside the living space won't work because the heat from inside the living space has to be dissipated at the outside unit. If the outside unit is inside the same space you want to cool, it will sort of cancel each other out. I tried this with a window unit in my fist build design, and found out the hard way.😞
Thanks for recording this man. Super helpful 🤙

Thanks for a very good video on 12V AC. The NEPOKKA brand seems to just be another brand from TREELIGO or many others. They seem all to be the same except labels though prices vary a little bit. Your installation is very informative. Clever use of the tv mount. 👍🏻 The condenser/compressor unit can be tilted a bit but there's a limit. Also, the hoses have to be in proper orientation.
Thank you. I appreciate the information. I will pin this comment; others may find it helpful too.👍🏾
"Hoses have to be in the proper orientation"? Please elaborate. Nowhere does it say you have to orient them in a specific way. You mean those connections in the expansion valve?
@@serjstol6695 With all due respect to the "hold my beer" folks in the world...😁 Mixing up the orientation of the low and high pressure hoses on the Nepokka model I bought would be difficult. I remember on the compressor ends, the hoses had different connectors. I don't specifically remember the ends on the expansion valve side, but they may be different in size. I don't have direct experience with other Nepokka models, or the other brand mentioned. I believe the original comment was intended to accommodate the small subset of do it yourselfers that, in spite of the odds, will manage to find a way to screw up anything. 😉 Thank you for commenting.
