Nomadic Cooling S1 12V Mini Split Camper Van Air Conditioner Sizing:
The ability of an air conditioner to cool a vehicle or maintain a desired temperature is dependent on:
- The heat gain of the vehicle
- The physical size of the vehicle, and Window area
- Quality and amount of insulation
- Exposure to sunlight
- Number of people inside the vehicle
- Outside temperature
As a general rule, discharge air will be 15 – 20°F or 8 – 12°C cooler than the air entering the unit. For example, if the air entering the air conditioner is 80° F or 27° C. (return air), the supply air (dis- charge air) into the vehicle will be 60 – 65° F or 15 – 19 °C. As long as this temperature difference is 15 – 20 °F, or 8-12 °C is being maintained, the unit is operating properly.
Again, give careful consideration to the vehicle heat gain variables. During extreme outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the vehicle may be reduced by:
- Parking the vehicle in a shaded area
- Keeping windows and doors closed
- Avoiding the use of heat-producing appliances • Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains
- For a more permanent solution to high heat gain situations, additional vehicle insulation, window awnings, and/or window glass tinting should be considered.

Type of refrigerant?
R134A automotive refrigerant is used in all Nomadic Cooling Air Conditioners. This makes it easy to repair, fill, or remove refrigerant anywhere in the world! Any traditional automotive air conditioner repair facility has the ability to fix, repair, and refill wherever you may be.
Where is the best location for a Nomadic Cooling air conditioner?
If you already have a 14×14 rooftop opening, please install the air conditioner in the corresponding space. If you are adding a new unit, feel free to place it in the desired location. We recommend placement above the bed!
Choosing the right wire size for your new air conditioner?
Using the correct wire for your new air conditioner is essential! Use the chart (linked below) to determine the proper wire size for your application. Always use stranded insulated copper wire rather than solid strand wire for positive and negative connections.
*If installed in a traditional recreational vehicle, you cannot connect to existing household wires.
*When in doubt, use the next largest wire size.
*Typically, 2AWG is standard or 2x 4AWG if space is limited.
Correct air conditioning sizing?
The ability of an air conditioner to cool a vehicle or maintain a desired temperature depends on the vehicle’s heat gain: Physical size of the vehicle window, area quality, amount of insulation exposure to sunlight, number of people inside the car, and outside temperature. Generally, discharge air will be 15-20 degrees F or 8-12 degrees C more excellent than the air entering the unit.
For example, suppose the air entering the air conditioner is 80 degrees F or 27 degrees C (return air). In that case, the supply air (discharge air) into the vehicle will be 60-65 degrees F. or 15-19 degrees C. As long as this temperature difference is 15-20 degrees F, or 8-12 degrees C is being maintained, the unit is operating properly.
Again, give careful consideration to the vehicle heat gain variables. During extreme outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the vehicle may be reduced by: parking the car in a shaded area, keeping windows and doors closed, using window shades (blinds and/or curtains), and avoiding the use of heat-producing appliances. For a more permanent solution to high heat gain situations, additional vehicle insulation, window awnings, and/or window glass tinting should be considered.
Frost on the cooling coil?
Frost on a small portion of the cooling coil is not unusual. Under certain conditions, ice may form on the evaporator coil. This is indicated by very cold output at very low airspeed, and the icing can be seen through the air inlet hole with the filter removed. If this should occur, make sure air vents are open and not obstructed. AC units tend to frost when the outside temperature is relatively low. This may be prevented by adjusting the thermostat to a warmer setting. Should frosting continue, operate the unit on FAN ONLY setting until the cooling coil is free of frost; then resume regular operation.
