The RoamAir R2 combines air conditioning and heat-pump heating in one compact rooftop system designed for campervans, trailers, and overland vehicles. Available in 12V and 48V configurations, the R2 connects to a compatible DC electrical system and provides heating and cooling through a single roof-mounted unit.
At the center of the R2 is a twin rotary, double-rotor compressor. Compared with many conventional DC scroll compressor designs, this configuration provides smoother variable-speed operation, reduced vibration, lower noise, and improved efficiency in mobile and off-grid applications. The 12V model provides approximately 8,000 BTU of heating and cooling with an average power draw of 660 watts. The 48V model provides 10,000 BTU of heating and cooling with an average draw of 897 watts. A soft-start inverter design eliminates the large startup surge associated with many traditional air conditioners, reducing unnecessary stress on batteries and supporting electrical components. The R2 also provides 265 CFM of airflow and installs through a standard 14 x 14-inch roof opening.
Select the voltage that matches your vehicle's electrical system. The 12V and 48V models are not interchangeable. The RoamAir R2 is not RV-C compatible. Before ordering, verify exterior roof clearance, the required 14 x 14-inch opening, and a finished ceiling thickness between 3.15 and 4.72 inches.
The 12V model provides approximately 8,000 BTU of heating and cooling and has a 660-watt average power draw. The 48V model provides 10,000 BTU of heating and cooling and has an average power draw of 897 watts. Select the model that matches your electrical system voltage.
Yes. The R2 uses heat-pump technology to provide heating and air conditioning from the same rooftop unit. The 12V model is rated at approximately 8,000 BTU, while the 48V model is rated at 10,000 BTU for both heating and cooling. Heat-pump performance declines near freezing. Until cold-weather testing is confirmed, we recommend 37°F as a conservative minimum and a backup heater for colder conditions.
The twin rotary compressor uses two rotors to provide smoother operation and reduced vibration. It is designed to improve variable-speed performance, efficiency, and reliability compared with many conventional DC scroll compressor designs.
The manufacturer states that the soft-start inverter design has no startup surge current. This reduces the sudden electrical load commonly associated with traditional air-conditioner compressor startup.
The RoamAir R2 installs through a standard 14 x 14-inch roof opening. You must also verify sufficient exterior clearance for the complete 31.5 x 26.18-inch rooftop unit.
The published adjustable ceiling-thickness range is 3.15 to 4.72 inches.
The 12V model averages 660 watts and has a published maximum draw of 792 watts. The 48V model averages 897 watts and has a published maximum draw of 994 watts. Actual consumption may vary with operating conditions, temperature settings, and compressor speed.
No. The RoamAir R2 is not RV-C compatible.

Great product. Used daily in my build— ac fan solar….
Kaiya provided wonderful support for a troublesome panel struggling during a second year of operation -- I could not be more pleased to have chosen Orion for my solar! The Stealth rack & awning are quite sweet as well :). Thanks Orion!
So far so good. Installed on my Sportsmobile converted dodge promaster. Waiting for the rain to see how it does in wet conditions. Once I figured out how to install it was VERY easy. Only ask would be more details on initial installation process since I wasn't sure exactly where to place the track. Once I got it installed and put the fly in the track it was so easy. Excited for how this will work on my pop-top van.
The customer service is over the top. Responses are almost immediate. They designed a Dragonfly tarp for our truck camper, made recommendations on the size, pole choice, and it turned out perfectly. I just set the awning up and it is perfect. Fantastic coverage with a lot of options. This company will be my first choice for any gear going forward.
Great products, responsive team!
