The Nomadic X3 24V is a low-profile, battery-friendly rooftop air conditioner built for real off-grid comfort.

It runs directly from a 24V house battery system, no shore power or idling engine required and uses an efficient brushless motor with multiple modes (ECO, MAX, Auto, Fan-Only) to balance performance and battery life. Its aerodynamic form drops into an industry-standard 14×14 roof opening, the flush-mount metal interior faceplate keeps the cabin clean and open, and whisper-quiet operation (≤60 dBA) helps you sleep through the night. This page covers the 24V DC model. For the 12v/48v helix models, look here.

Why X3 24V?

Engineered for hot, high-load conditions, the X3’s high-output compressor and advanced fan system move serious air while maintaining efficient power draw. Control logic holds steady temperatures for longer runtimes off solar or lithium storage. Construction details are road-tested: a sealed back plate protects electronics from dust and debris, automotive-grade connectors simplify service, stainless hardware resists corrosion, and spring-bushed compressor mounts reduce vibration. A bright LCD control panel and a flush, powder-coated metal interior plate deliver a clean, modern finish.

1.Is this the 24V version of the Nomadic X3?

Yes. This page is for the X3 configured for 24V DC systems. It’s designed to run directly from a 24V house battery, no inverter, generator, or shore power required.

2.Will it fit my van or RV roof opening?

Yes. The X3 mounts in the industry-standard 14" × 14" roof cutout used on most vans and RVs.

3.How quiet is the X3 24V?

Whisper-quiet operation up to ≤60 dBA under typical use, with brushless fans and vibration-damping compressor mounts for a calmer sound profile.

4.What modes does it support?

ECO, MAX, Auto, and Fan-Only. ECO extends runtime, MAX prioritizes peak cooling, Auto balances comfort and draw, and Fan-Only circulates air without active cooling.

No. The X3 24V is a DC rooftop air conditioner that runs directly from a 24V battery system. Many users pair it with solar and lithium storage for off-grid stays.

8.How do I control the unit?

Use the included LCD control panel for on-unit settings and the handheld remote for quick adjustments. Both provide clear, glove-friendly operation.

9.What refrigerant does the X3 use?

R1234yf, a modern low-GWP, A2L refrigerant aligned with today’s safety and environmental standards.

10.Any install tips?

Dry-fit before sealing, plan wire routing, and compress the gasket evenly in a criss-cross pattern when tightening. Keep airflow paths clear and confirm operation in ECO and MAX to validate performance.

11.What maintenance should I plan for?

Periodically check gasket compression, mounting hardware, and electrical connections. Keep the intake/exhaust paths free of debris for optimal performance.

I'm excited to start using this panel in my off grid system I'm building. I have a truck tool box I have 3 lifepo4 100ah batteries and a victron 100-50 charge controller. 3000watt power inverter. I will have 120 and 12 volt out puts. and all the wiring and fuses and switches I need for my build. This panel I will mount to the top of the box. Only thing I could gripe about is the corners of the panel are very sharp and a concern about cutting myself is the only thing I can complain about but that's not really a issue. Kinda wish the panel would at least have came with basic mounting hardware. It ships with just the panel and nothing else not even a spec sheet. Over all I'm happy to complete my project using this high quality panel.

Thanks for the review, and glad the panel is a good fit for your off grid build, that sounds like a solid setup. Good callout on the corners. They’re aluminum and can feel sharp out of the box, so we always recommend handling with gloves during install. On the specs, they’re on the sticker on the back of the panel.

The Comvolt 4200 (with AC/DC PDU and 7-inch screen) is a game-changer for any setup.
Super easy install—mostly plug-and-play with minimal wiring. No fuss, no extra components to hunt down.
It’s compact, portable, and incredibly versatile: works flawlessly off-grid in a van, car, shop, home, or anywhere else. Everything’s built right in, so you get clean power without the headache of piecing together a bunch of parts.
Expandable too if you need more juice later. Hands down one of the most convenient, reliable portable power stations out there.
Nice work, Comvolt team—I love it! Highly recommend.
Thank you Orion Van Gear

Thanks so much for the great review. We’re stoked you loved the Comvolt 4200 and really appreciate the shout out. Also loved your YouTube video on it, great walkthrough. For anyone reading this, be sure to check out Reds Custom OffRoad’s YouTube video to see the system in action.

Nice addition to our awning’s lifespan.

Great side ladder for Ford Transit! We've got a 2023 Ford Transit 350 High Roof XL AWD with the Orion Van Gear Stealth rack and just installed the side ladder to go with it. It fits nicely with the side profile of the van and has been rock solid on two road trips so far. If you've got a roof rack and need an easy way to climb up to it, this is a great fit.

Thanks, Travis. Happy to hear the side ladder has been a solid fit on your Transit and is holding up well on the road. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Great roof rack for Transit! We've been rocking the Stealth Roof Rack on our 2023 Ford Transit 350 High Roof XL AWD for a year now and it's been excellent. No noise, vibration, wind drag and it's designed nicely to snug up against the roofline. We ordered ours with the 2X scene (rear flood) lights and I highly recommend that. It's a nice easy way to shine some light on your loadouts and load-ins at night or while the sun is coming or going!

Stoked to hear the Stealth rack has been treating you well and staying quiet even after a year of use. The rear scene lights are a great call, super handy for night load-ins and early mornings. Appreciate you sharing the feedback.

Great rack for my 2023 Ford Transit 350 High Roof XL AWD! Have had it on for a year now and have no noise, vibration or wind drag issues. It's solid and nicely designed to lay flat against the roofline.

I am adding an extra battery to my system. The Ecofliw has been a great system. This will double the capacity. It was very easy to adopt and it is working flawlessly. Shipping was quick and I didn’t have any issues.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear the EcoFlow system has been solid for you and that adding the extra battery was easy. Doubling the capacity makes a big difference. Appreciate you sharing your experience.

I had no issues with the installation of this fan. I was removing a Maxxair fixed vent unit in my car trailer and the opening was 14¼" x 14¼". An opening any larger and **** down the new unit would have been difficult. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the IR beam on the remote control is very narrow and has to be pointing directly at the unit in order to operate - I was hoping to use the remote while it was seated in the wall holder near the door, but no big deal.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Glad to hear the install went smoothly and the fit worked well. The remote can be a bit finicky, but as you noted, it works when pointed directly at the unit. Appreciate you sharing the honest notes.

I questioned ordering from Orion Van Gear but they had good reviews so I gave it a try. I ordered a Maxxair 00-07500K vent fan, they had it at a very good price. I received it in a week, the part was what I ordered and in good shape. I would recommend Orion Van Gear, if they have something I need, I would use them again. I won't Install the fan until spring (it's December now) so I can't give a review on how the fan works.

Thanks Larry. Glad the order arrived quickly and everything showed up exactly as expected. Appreciate you giving us a shot and the recommendation. Hope the install goes smoothly this spring.
