Efficient AC The Velit AC works very efficiently to cool our Sprinter van. It has the right balance of power (8000 BTU) and efficiency for us to be able to have AC off-the-grid while we sleep and replenish the batteries via solar panels the next day.

Great AC - Issue at install AC unit came packed well, but out of the box it had issues and an error upon installation. A wire had come off the condenser somehow and had to be fixed (crimped on) by the installer. He worked with VELIT to get it fixed and they said they are changing the design to keep that from happening. AC unit itself seems to work well, hoping for longevity and the company does seem to really ensure all is good when you have a problem.

Diesel Heater Upgrade I just replaced my diesel heater with the Velit Gasoline Heater, it is definitely an upgrade. I no longer have to carry diesel and the fuel pump tick is not noticeable. I also tested the temperature control that shuts off the heater at 3 degrees past the set point and starts again at 3 degrees below the set point. I would recommend this heater for any RV that runs on gasoline.

The unit has no air filter The AC unit cools and operates well. The unit does not have an air filter. Running any AC unit without an air filter will eventually clog the evaporator coil with lint which will destroy the efficiency of the unit. The evaporator coil is wet from condensed air causing the lint to stick to the coil, reducing airflow and severely impacting the cooling. It is very hard and messy to clean an AC evaporator coil. The support technician advised me they are aware of this and working on a fix. Once filter issue is resolved the unit is worthy of the highest rating.

NOTE WELL the return policy!! The builder's opinion is that the unit is too heavy for the roof of my particular van. That is not Velit's fault. What I did not expect was the only return within 30 days if it does not work return policy. I did not even think to check the policy because...well, who doesn't have a 30 day return policy for an unopened box? I take responsibility for not checking, but I find this policy completely unreasonable. Now I have a $1700 (including shipping) unit that I cannot use.
