Fitment + Installation

X2 is designed around an industry-standard 14 × 14-inch roof opening and is available in select 12V, 24V, and 48V configurations.

Match the X2 voltage to the DC electrical system in your build, and confirm roof structure, wiring, plumbing, rooftop clearance, and electrical requirements before installation.

Installation hardware and requirements can vary by X2 generation. Review the manual for the exact model selected before cutting the roof or sizing wiring and circuit protection.

Need installation components? The optional X2 DIY Install Kit and compatible accessories are available in the Build Around Your X2 section below.

Shipping + Delivery

X2 rooftop air conditioners ship from Elkhart, Indiana. Shipping cost and available delivery methods are calculated at checkout based on the order and destination.

Because rooftop AC units are large, inspect the shipment when it arrives. If there is visible shipping damage, photograph the packaging and product and note the damage with the carrier before accepting or signing for the shipment.

Accessories ordered with the X2 may ship separately from the air conditioner.

Warranty + Open Box

Final Inventory does not mean unsupported.

New X2 Final Inventory units include the applicable Nomadic Cooling limited warranty and continue to be supported with product documentation, service parts, and US-based technical support.

Open Box describes product condition, not a different X2 model or performance tier. Open Box units may have opened or replaced packaging and minor evidence of handling or cosmetic wear, and warranty coverage may differ from new inventory.

Review the coverage associated with the exact condition selected and complete warranty registration after purchase.

01 EARLY PLATFORM

THE BEGINNING

Nomadic 2000

The 2000 Series established Nomadic's early approach to direct-DC rooftop air conditioning for battery-based mobile applications.

Direct-DC rooftop architecture was designed around mobile electrical systems rather than conventional household AC power.

Local electronic control provided cabin-side operation, fan adjustment and system-status functionality.

14 × 14-inch installation planning was already part of the early Nomadic rooftop approach.

WHAT IT ESTABLISHED A compact rooftop cooling system built around battery-based mobile power.

Nomadic Cooling 2000 direct-DC rooftop air conditioner

NOMADIC 2000 · EARLY DC PLATFORM

02 X-SERIES FOUNDATION

THE X2 FOUNDATION

X2 Standard

X2 condensed the platform into a lighter, lower-profile rooftop package built for camper vans, smaller RVs and builds where usable roof space matters.

Compact X2 footprint helped preserve roof space for solar, vents, racks and other equipment.

12V, 24V and 48V configurations supported multiple battery-based DC electrical architectures.

Local LCD operation brought Auto, ECO, MAX and Fan modes into the X2 cabin-control experience.

WHAT CHANGED The platform became smaller, lighter and more focused on roof-space efficiency.

X2 STANDARD · X-SERIES FOUNDATION

03 PLATFORM REFINEMENT

THE REFINEMENT STEP

X2 Plus

X2 Plus built on the Standard platform with targeted refinements to control behavior, mechanical support, insulation and moisture management.

Updated control logic refined how the platform managed day-to-day operation.

Stainless-steel compressor support and improved insulation advanced the mechanical package.

Humidity and condensation management received additional attention for real-world mobile use.

WHAT CHANGED X2 became a more refined mechanical and climate-management platform without abandoning its compact foundation.

X2 PLUS · PLATFORM REFINEMENT

04 CONNECTED ERA

THE CONNECTED X2

X2 Helix Gen I

Helix moved X2 beyond a standalone rooftop appliance, adding connected control while continuing to refine compressor behavior, moisture management and electronics protection.

Helix connected control introduced app access, scenes and schedules alongside local control.

PWM compressor modulation allowed the compressor to adjust its behavior as cabin cooling demand changed.

Protected electronics included a sealed back plate and automotive-style, water-resistant connectors.

WHAT CHANGED X2 became a connected part of the Helix control ecosystem.

X2 HELIX GEN I · CONNECTED X2

05 CURRENT PRODUCTION

THE CURRENT X2

X2 Helix Gen II

Gen II carries the connected X2 platform forward with focused physical refinements to the rooftop package, installation system and lower-base water management.

Updated exterior shroud and revised base define the current rooftop package.

Four integrated adjustable leveling feet replace the preceding leveling-strip approach.

Directional water-management features are integrated into the revised lower-base structure.

WHAT CHANGED The connected X2 platform moved into its current mechanical generation while retaining the compact X2 mission.

DESIGNED AROUND THE REST OF THE BUILD

WHY X2

Small Roof. Serious DC Cooling.

COMPACT DC ROOFTOP AIR CONDITIONING FOR VANS + SMALLER RVS

Roof space is limited. Battery capacity matters. Solar, vents, racks and accessories all compete for room. X2 was developed around those realities—giving camper vans and smaller RVs a compact direct-DC rooftop cooling platform without asking the rest of the build to work around the air conditioner.

BUILT AROUND ROOF REAL ESTATE

More Room for the Rest of the Build.

Solar panels, vent fans, roof racks, antennas and other equipment compete for the same limited space. X2's compact rooftop format helps preserve more usable roof area around it.

BUILT AROUND BATTERY POWER

Native DC Cooling.

Earlier-generation X2 was offered in 12V, 24V and 48V configurations so the rooftop air conditioner could be matched to different mobile DC electrical architectures.

BUILT AROUND MOBILE INSTALLATION

A Familiar 14 × 14 Starting Point.

The familiar 14 × 14-inch roof opening gives builders and DIY installers an established starting point when planning X2 alongside the vehicle's other rooftop systems.

THE IDEA BEHIND X2

Cooling should take its place on the roof— not take over the roof.

02

MECHANICAL SUPPORT PLUS / HELIX

Refinement for a Moving Environment.

X2 Plus introduced stainless-steel compressor mounting as part of a more developed mechanical package for a rooftop system that lives with vehicle movement and vibration.

03

AIRFLOW HARDWARE GEN II

Electronically Managed Cabin Airflow.

Current Gen II documentation identifies a brushless blower with electronic speed regulation as part of the latest X2 airflow architecture.

04

INSULATION + MOISTURE X2 PLATFORM

Climate Management Beyond Temperature.

Later X2 development added insulation, humidity-management and drainage refinements aimed at controlling condensation and supporting operation in demanding mobile environments.

05

DIAGNOSTICS X-SERIES

More Visibility When Something Isn't Right.

X-Series diagnostic codes help identify operating faults, giving owners and technical support a clearer starting point when the system detects an abnormal condition.

06

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION HELIX

LOOKING FOR CURRENT PRODUCTION?

X2 Helix Gen II is the current 12V/48V generation of the compact X2 rooftop platform.

EXPLORE X2 HELIX GEN II

GENERATION Is this the current X2 Helix Gen II?

No. This page is for select earlier-generation X2 Final Inventory. The product options above show the exact models, voltages, colors and conditions currently available.

X2 Helix Gen II is the current-production X2. If you're looking for the latest X2 generation rather than remaining earlier-generation inventory, use the Gen II link below.

VIEW X2 HELIX GEN II

CHOOSING YOUR X2 Which X2 configuration should I choose?

Start with the DC electrical system that will power the air conditioner. Choose an X2 voltage that is compatible with that system, then compare the models, colors and conditions still available in that voltage.

Open Box describes product condition, not a separate X2 generation. Standard and Helix represent different generations and feature sets.

VIEW AVAILABLE X2 OPTIONS

VOLTAGE Does X2 come in 12V, 24V and 48V?

The earlier X2 family has been offered across 12V, 24V and 48V DC configurations. Not every generation or model was offered in every voltage.

X2 Helix and current X2 Helix Gen II use 12V and 48V configurations. Final Inventory on this page is limited to the exact voltage and model combinations that still remain.

X2 GENERATIONS What is the difference between Standard, Plus and Helix?

X2 Standard is the core earlier-generation compact direct-DC X2 platform.

X2 Plus built on Standard with refinements including updated control logic, compressor mounting, insulation and moisture-management features.

X2 Helix Gen I added the Helix connected control ecosystem, PWM compressor management and additional electrical and environmental-protection refinements.

Features and hardware vary by generation, so use the manual for the exact X2 model you purchase rather than assuming every feature applies to every version.

VIEW X2 DOCUMENTATION

PRODUCT CONDITION What does Open Box mean?

Open Box describes the condition of the product, not a different X2 performance level or generation.

Open Box inventory may have opened, replaced or imperfect packaging and may show minor evidence of handling or cosmetic wear. Review the condition information associated with the configuration you select before purchasing.

Warranty or return terms can also differ from new inventory, so review the applicable coverage for the exact unit.

REVIEW WARRANTY INFORMATION

ROOF FITMENT Does X2 use a standard 14 × 14 roof opening?

Yes. X2 installation documentation uses the familiar 14 × 14-inch rooftop opening.

That opening size is only one part of fitment. Before cutting the roof, confirm the exterior and interior clearances, roof structure, ceiling thickness, wiring, plumbing and mounting requirements for the exact X2 generation selected.

VIEW X2 INSTALLATION MANUALS

ELECTRICAL What wire size and fuse should I use?

Do not choose wire size or circuit protection from voltage alone. The correct electrical setup depends on the exact X2 model, voltage, cable length and installation.

Nomadic publishes an X2 Series Rated Power, Wire Size & Fuse Guide in the Technical Support Library. Use that guide together with the installation manual for the X2 you are installing.

OPEN TECHNICAL SUPPORT LIBRARY

OWNERSHIP Can I still get manuals, parts and technical support?

Yes. Nomadic maintains X2 manuals and technical references, a dedicated X2 parts collection, and technical support for owners of earlier-generation units.

MANUALS X2 PARTS SUPPORT

WARRANTY Does Final Inventory still have warranty coverage?

Final Inventory does not automatically mean that a product has no warranty. Coverage depends on the exact product, condition and warranty terms that apply to the unit purchased.

New and Open Box inventory can have different coverage. Review the current Nomadic Cooling warranty information and complete any required registration after purchase.

If the coverage for a particular configuration is unclear, contact Nomadic before ordering.

REVIEW WARRANTY + REGISTRATION

FINAL INVENTORY What happens when an X2 configuration sells out?

Final Inventory is limited to the X2 units remaining in each model, voltage, color and condition combination.

Once a specific configuration sells through, do not assume that the same combination will return. Other X2 options may remain available, but the selection will change as individual configurations sell out.

If the X2 configuration shown above matches your electrical system and build, availability is worth considering as part of the purchase decision.
