VMACS Offers Battery-Powered Heat & AC Systems for RVs and Vans

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. - ncarol.com -- SOUTH MILLS, NC – Scott Faivre noticed an opportunity in the RV and campervan industry. Owners wanted more comfort while camping, at the same time lithium batteries were becoming more affordable and popular. That made battery powered off-grid air conditioning more viable than ever, but equipment options were limited.

"There were a few premium-labeled DC air conditioning systems, and plenty of cheap alternatives," explains Faivre, the veteran owner of Virginia Mobile Air Conditioning Systems (VMACS). "We saw a need for high quality at an affordable price. Something a DIY van build owner could add to their rig, or an upfitter could spec to keep units affordable."

When the VMACS team couldn't find what they envisioned, they developed specifications for a system they would use themselves, and partnered with a manufacturer to produce the units. "We didn't want cheap stuff," said Faivre. "We wanted to provide equipment that will perform well and last a long time for our customer."

The VMACS team tested more than a dozen DC-powered air conditioning systems, and another 10 DC-powered fuel heating systems, searching for the right mix of performance and quality. "The quality in the industry varies tremendously," said Scott. Ultimately they partnered with a manufacturer to build units to the Faivre's specs.

The result is Climate Command: battery-powered air conditioning and heat systems that are optimized for van builds, commercial delivery vans, custom RV builds, and tiny houses. The units are available in 12-volt and 48-volt configurations.

Traditional mobile air conditioning systems on RVs and campervans rely on "shore power" 120v electricity (or a massive inverter). Those units use on/off compressors that have a big power draw every time the unit starts cooling, which usually means a minimum of 30-amp service, typically found in RV parks.

Climate Command solves those challenges, and others. Since the air conditioner is powered directly by a battery bank, there's no need for 120v electricity, and customers can have comfortable air conditioning wherever they are – from a campground to remote boondocking.

The units use an inverter scroll compressor, which starts at slow speed and ramps up as cooling is required, resulting in lower initial and ongoing power demands – an important feature for battery-powered systems.

The Climate Command AC units are surprisingly quiet, a plus for anyone who has been inside an RV or camper with a loud unit. "One of the most frequent comments we hear at Overland Expo events is that people are amazed at the low noise," said Faivre.
