The FOGATTI InstaCool Ultra is a rooftop RV unit that integrates both air conditioning and heating into a single system using a reversible heat pump. It delivers 16,000 BTU of cooling capacity for spaces up to roughly 600 square feet, while also providing 12,500 BTU of heating without requiring a separate furnace. The system uses a compressor-based cycle that reverses airflow direction to switch between cooling and heating modes.
The unit features a 418 CFM airflow system powered by dual synchronous motors and a triple-fan configuration, designed to distribute air across the full length of an RV. It fits standard 14.25-inch roof openings for direct replacement and operates at a reported noise level of 43 decibels on lower settings. Control options include a remote, interior touchscreen panel, and a Wi-Fi app for adjusting temperature or pre-conditioning the space.
