The most intimidating part of this project is cutting that hole in the roof.

While we can and did install this air conditioner in our van, cutting a hole in the roof and taking on a project like this isn’t for everyone, and there are plenty of qualified professionals you can get to do this for you.

We are what you would call weekend warriors at this stuff, so while we’ll show you what our experience as do it yourselfers has been like, please don’t take this as professional advice.

Right off the bat here I want to point out we are not professionals. Installing Dometic Brisk II rooftop air conditioner For us, that meant adding shore power to the build so we could use it without draining the rest of the system including our Renogy solar panels and batteries. While there are some solar/battery builds where you could run this off grid, it’s a power suck. One note on this device: for most users, you’ll need to know you’ll want to have shore power installed on your van or RV to power the air conditioning. But we do travel to California quite a bit and wanted to have an option to drive this down there, and use it for camping in the California heat too. Why did we opt for AC? We live in Calgary Canada and most of the summer the temperature is pretty moderate or even cool, especially in the Rocky Mountains. The Dometic Brisk II comes in two parts the AC unit that sits on top of the van, and the inside portions a control and wiring panel and the shroud or finishing cover. Finally we’ll talk about how well it works. We’ll talk about why we went for AC, how we designed for it, and how we installed it.
