Actros roof air conditioning

A parking cooler in the roof hatch of a Mercedes-Benz Actros. It runs on 24 V with the engine off, so the sleeper can be cooled without leaving the truck idling.

Mercedes-Benz Actros

The lorry in the photograph is an Actros. Dometic’s own words for the fitting kit:

“The installation kit enables the installation of a CoolAir RTX1000 or RTX2000 parking cooler in a factory-made roof opening (ventilation hatch) of a Mercedes Benz Actros, Antos or Arocs SFTP Series cab (excluding Compact Space).”
