Skip the generator. The TurboKOOL 2B-0001 is a roof-mounted evaporative cooler that runs entirely on 12V DC or a small solar panel, delivering up to 750 CFM of filtered, evaporatively cooled air into your RV -- typically dropping interior temps 20 to 30 deg F. It mounts directly over any standard 14 x 14 inch roof vent opening and installs with basic hand tools. Ideal for dry-climate boondocking, campground stays without hookups, or any situation where running an air conditioner and generator is loud, expensive, or impractical.
Evaporative cooling is one of the most energy-efficient methods of temperature reduction available, and TurboKOOL's spin-spray design makes it exceptionally well-suited to the harsh demands of RV rooftop life. Hot outside air is drawn through a non-organic industrial foam filter, where TurboKOOL's "Spin-Spray" pump saturates the entire filter surface -- not just drips water from the top -- ensuring peak cooling across every square inch of the media.
The result is clean, cool, filtered air that has been washed free of dust, pollen, and airborne particulates. Because the motor is air-cooled and completely isolated from the wet filter zone, bearings and windings never contact moisture -- a common failure point on competing designs. The spin-spray pump itself has no conventional wear parts and cannot burn out, even if the water supply runs dry.
Run in cooling mode or flip to exhaust. Three fan speeds let you dial in airflow from 2.2A (low) up to 4.6A (high), matching comfort to available battery capacity.
Centrifugal spin-spray wets the entire filter surface rather than relying on gravity drip. More efficient cooling per gallon and no clogged drip tubes to maintain.
Industrial foam media will not support bacterial or mold growth, eliminating the musty odors common to cellulose evaporative pads. Easy to rinse clean.
Streamlined, low-snag contour reduces wind resistance at highway speeds. UV-stabilized body and hood resist cracking, fading, and discoloration over years of rooftop exposure.
The TurboKOOL 2B-0001 is designed to operate directly from your RV's 12V house battery bank or from a solar panel without any inverter or shore power connection. At low speed the unit draws only 2.2 amps -- well within the output of even a modest solar setup. High-speed operation pulls 4.6 amps, still a fraction of what a rooftop air conditioner compressor demands. This makes the TurboKOOL a practical primary cooling solution for off-grid travel in low-humidity regions.
The unit includes a built-in reservoir and an automatic water level control valve. Under typical operating conditions, the TurboKOOL consumes approximately 3 gallons of water per day. You can supply water from the RV's onboard fresh water system or from a dedicated external tank. An optional 3-gallon tank (TurboKOOL 2B-1005R) or 15-gallon tank (TurboKOOL 41-5023) can be added for extended off-grid operation without tapping the main fresh water supply.
The TurboKOOL 2B-0001 mounts over any standard 14 x 14 inch RV roof vent cutout -- the same opening used by most fan-tastic and Maxxair-style vent fans. Installation requires only basic hand tools and is typically completed in under two hours. A replacement vent frame (sold separately, TurboKOOL 2B-5007R) is available if your existing frame needs replacement. No rooftop cutting or special brackets are required for standard installations.
Individually adjustable louvers let you direct cooled airflow toward sleeping areas, the cab, or the living space. The reversible motor function also allows the unit to serve as a powered exhaust fan when evaporative cooling is not needed -- useful for venting cooking odors or heat buildup on mild days.
