The integrated Helix smart control system allows you to monitor performance, adjust operating modes, and control the unit directly from your smartphone.- New GEN II Design: Improved drainage, updated base, stronger exterior shroud, and refined Helix controls.

Helix Smart Controls
The Helix Control System transforms how you manage climate inside your van or RV. Through the Helix Pulse touchscreen hub or the Helix mobile app, you can monitor and adjust temperature, fan speed, and operating modes from anywhere in your rig—or even remotely through your local network. Seamless integration with Helix OS means you can automate comfort settings, link climate control to lighting or power scenes, and view real-time system data all from one intuitive interface. Whether you’re off-grid or parked at camp, Helix keeps your environment connected, efficient, and perfectly tuned to your comfort.Why 12V Systems?
12V systems are the preferred choice for most RVs and campervans because it offers the perfect balance of performance, simplicity, and compatibility. Since most recreational vehicles are already equipped with a 12V electrical system, installation is straightforward and works seamlessly with existing batteries, solar panels, alternator charging, and other onboard accessories. Replacement parts and upgrades are widely available, making maintenance easy whether you're at home or on the road. With reliable cooling, proven performance, and no need for extensive electrical modifications, a 12V air conditioner is a practical and cost-effective solution for off-grid adventures and everyday travel.Low Profile
The Nomadic Cooling GEN II X2 Helix 12V AC sets itself apart with its low profile and small footprint, measuring just 6.9 inches in height, 22.5 inches in width, and 28.0 inches in depth. This sleek, compact design ensures that the air conditioner does not intrude on the vehicle’s aerodynamic profile or take up excessive space, which is particularly valuable in the limited confines of a truck or campervan. Complemented by a modern design that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any vehicle, the X2 Helix not only cools efficiently but also adds a touch of style, seamlessly blending functionality with sophistication to meet the needs of the contemporary traveler.Additional Info
