The Dometic FreshJet 1700 is the smallest roof air conditioners available that cools, heats and dehumidifies motorhomes and caravans of up to 6 m in length. Achieve the perfect indoor climate!
Vehicles of any size can be air conditioned with the successful FreshJet series, which includes four models in the series. These three FreshJets are the smallest air conditioners on the market. The power versions shown here have the same ultra-compact design, which still leaves space for solar panels or a satellite dish on the roof or even for a second FreshJet if you need separate air conditioning areas. Very low starting currents with FreshJet 1100/1700 and soft start with the 2200 model ensure that the units run smoothly even on campsites with low electrical protection.
ALL BASES COVERED
One of the smallest air conditioner units available for caravans and motorhomes of up to 6 m in length (or used in larger vehicles as a duo), the ultra-compact Dometic FreshJet 1700 leaves enough roof space for solar panels, a satellite dish or even a second FreshJet if you need separate air conditioning areas. Its very low starting current ensures that the unit runs smoothly even on campsites with low electrical protection. Efficiently distributing air in two directions, it cools when it’s too hot and heats when it’s too cold, ensuring on-board comfort all year round!
Air Distribution Box
The Freshjet comes complete with a air distribution box which provides optimal cooling performance with two adjustable air flows. This air distribution box was developed using the latest knowledge in fluid dynamics where the air flows with full power in two directions, towards the front and rear. As a result, the living compartment can be cooled very quickly and efficiently. Both air flows can be adjusted as required: to the left or right, to the ceiling or flooring. The dimmable LED light adds an attractive design detail.
COMPACT CLIMATE CONTROL
Dometic’s FreshJet are among the smallest air conditioners on the market. With different versions to suit different sizes of vehicles, even the most powerful versions share the same ultra-compact design. The space-saving design leaves room on the roof for solar panels, a satellite dish or even for a second FreshJet if you want separate air conditioning zones. Thanks to a very low starting current and soft-start function, the units will even run smoothly on campsites with low electrical protection. Adjustable air flow encourages effective air distribution, exactly as you need it. Capable of cooling, heating and dehumidifying air: FreshJets offer comfort. Integrated LED lighting allows users to create ambient lighting inside the vehicle. All functions are conveniently managed with an easy to use remote control.
ASSISTING NASA WITH AIR CONDITIONING EXPERTISE
In 2011, NASA was on the lookout for an air conditioning system to install in their lunar electric rover. They decided they needed expert help and consulted numerous suppliers. Finally, after a rigorous selection process, the space agency chose Dometic. After extensive trials in Arizona, where the system had to keep scientists and their equipment cool and dry in extreme heat and high-dust levels, Dometic’s technology was approved for extra-terrestrial duty. Thanks to our talented engineers and their hard work and dedication in developing innovative solutions to meet NASA’s rigorous technical specifications and safety requirements for this unusual test vehicle, Dometic.

SELECTING THE RIGHT AIR CONDITIONER
The refreshing, cool air of an air conditioner can be key to your onboard comfort. This buying guide will help you to understand the different features and benefits of air conditioner models; allowing you to choose the ideal unit for you and your vehicle!
THE BIG QUESTION: DO YOU OWN A MOTORHOME, CARAVAN OR CAMPERVAN? SIZE MATTERS.
Not all vehicles are compatible with every type of air conditioner:
- Insulation strengths of individual models can vary and so we recommend speaking to your authorized dealer or service center for the best advice according to your specific vehicle.
- A vehicle’s length also influences air conditioner choice; powerful units being needed for large internal spaces. In some cases, more than one unit is used.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROOFTOP AND UNDER BENCH UNITS?
Air conditioners are either designed for installation on the vehicle’s roof or inside an internal storage compartment.
ROOFTOP AIR CONDITIONER
Rooftop air conditioners are positioned over the window in your vehicle’s roof. For installation, the roof must be flat and have sufficient space.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
- Storage: it does not use any valuable storage space inside your vehicle. This is particularly beneficial to owners of smaller vehicles with limited internal space.
- Light: given its position over a window, rooftop units can obstruct natural light. Unless of course you purchase a rooftop unit with an integrated window!
- Distribution: choose between an air distribution box or, for wider, more targeted distribution, a ducting system.
- Clearance: it will add to your vehicle’s height – however, a sleek, low-profile rooftop model you’ll barely notice the difference.
- Heater: since heat rises, rooftop units aren’t optimally placed to heat your vehicle.
UNDER BENCH AIR CONDITIONER
An under bench air conditioner is located inside the vehicle – under a bench or in a compartment. It is ideal if your vehicle’s roof is curved or crowded with other devices.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
- Storage: you will lose internal storage space to accommodate the air conditioner.
- Light: windows are unaffected meaning it won’t block natural light.
- Distribution: always via a ducting system, allowing a wide distribution of cool air to multiple rooms of your choice.
- Clearance: your vehicle’s clearance height is not affected.
- Heater: its low installation position makes it more effective as a heater.
WHICH AIR CONDITIONERS COOL AIR THE QUICKEST?
The “cooling capacity” of an air conditioner (sometimes referred to as pull down power) indicates the speed at which it cools air. This feature is measured in British Thermal Units per hour (BTU/h). If you want to feel a drop in temperature as quickly as possible, then choose an air conditioner with a high cooling capacity.
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT CLEARANCE HEIGHT?
Low-hanging obstacles such as bridges make the clearance height of your RV well worth considering. An obvious solution is to choose an under bench unit which will not add any extra height to your vehicle. However, an aerodynamic, low-profile rooftop unit can add as little as 25cm to your vehicle’s clearance height, making them a great option too.
