A truck cab cooler requires an ETI DC system modification. Would not consider without ≥ 4 kW•h lithium batteries, preferably 6 kW•h.
The Nomadic Cooling 3000 is 12VDC, and specs say:
100 Amp Compressor
Eco Mode: 35A-55A @ 85F
Powerful Mode: 65A Max Cool @ 85F; 120A Max Cool @ 100F
Cooling Capacity: 11,830 BTU
The Nomadic Cooling 2000 is 12VDC, and specs say:
75 Amp Compressor
Eco Mode: 30A-40A @ 85F
Powerful Mode: 55A Max Cool @ 85F; 72A Max Cool @ 100F
Cooling Capacity: 9830 BTU
Dometic RTX2000 is 12VDC and claims"only 19A power consumption in Eco mode" and 2000W (6,824 BTU), 12 V.
These DC units are becoming pretty popular in the VanLife conversions. They are also pretty pricey, but if much quieter as claimed, it is a possibility to consider.
