Vanlife Outfitters Basic Install Kit for Nomadic Cooling – X3

$160.00$245.00

We designed this installation kit as a less expensive alternative to the “official” Nomadic Cooling X3 air conditioner “DIY Installation Kit”. You can compare what our kit includes vs. what their “DIY” kit includes. Both kits are great options. Our kit is designed to provide only the essentials for installation and nothing more at a value price. Please scroll down toward the bottom of this page in the description to see what’s included with both our kit and the Nomadic Cooling kits.

If you’re building out a van, you may already have some of these things. So, we have also provided links to the various components used in the kits if you wish to purchase only the parts you need.

There are three versions of the kit: 12-volt, 24-volt and 48-volt. The 12-volt kits include 2 AWG wire with 125A amp mega fuse, the 24-volt kit includes 4 AWG wire with a 60 amp mega fuse and the 48-volt kit comes with 8 AWG wire and a 30A MIDI fuse. Please scroll down to the description below for photos and details.

Note: wire gauge included in the kit is based on a relatively short wire run installed into a small vehicle like a van. Please use an ampacity calculator such as the “Blue Sea Circuit Wizardwhen sizing your wire for your particular situation.

Fuse Holder

The 12/24-volt version of the kit comes with a Victron Energy mega fuse holder while the 48-volt version comes with a Victron Energy MIDI fuse holder that is rated up to 58-volts.

Fuse 

The 12-volt version of the kit comes with a Victron Energy 125 amp mega fuse, the 24-volt version comes with a Victron Energy 60 amp mega fuse and the 48-volt version comes with a Victron Energy 30 amp MIDI fuse that is rated up to 58-volts.

Wire

The 12-volt version of the kit comes with 25′ of red and black 2 AWG wire, the 24-volt kit comes with 25′ of red and black 4 AWG wire, and the 48-volt version comes with 25′ of red and black 8 AWG wire.  For comparison, the Nomadic Cooling “DIY Install Kit” includes approximately 15′ of wire in their 12/24-volt kit and approximately 11′ of wire in their 48-volt kit.

Splicers

2x appropriately sized splicers. There are short, power supply wires that come off the Nomadic AC unit with connectors (large Anderson-style connector on the 12/24-volt units and ring terminals on the 48-volt units) that you’ll cut off and then use these splicers to bridge your branch circuit wiring to the supply wires on the AC itself. The splicers should then be covered with heat shrink which is also provided to secure and protect the splice.
