The Dometic FreshJet FJZ7 2600 sits in the middle of the premium FJZ7 inverter range, delivering 2600W of cooling and 2300W of heating for caravans, motorhomes, and campervans up to 8 metres in length. Its electronic inverter compressor adjusts speed continuously to match the cooling demand, resulting in quieter operation and lower energy consumption compared to traditional fixed-speed units. Available in white or black, this roof-mounted unit weighs 30 kg and measures 752 x 225 x 702 mm. It draws 5.73A for cooling and 4.1A for heating, with a minimum circuit protection of 6A. It runs on 220-240V AC and fits a standard 400 x 400 mm roof opening with roof thicknesses between 25 mm and 60 mm.
Which Dometic air conditioner is right for a motorhome up to 8 metres?
The FJZ7 2600 is Dometic's recommended choice for recreational vehicles up to 8 metres. With 2600W cooling, 2300W heat pump heating, and inverter technology for efficient operation, it provides strong climate control for medium to large motorhomes. It draws 5.73A for cooling and requires 6A circuit protection, keeping it within range of most campsite hook-ups.
All of the FJZ7-exclusive features are present: Adaptive Power Mode lets you cap the unit's power draw via the Dometic smartphone app, preventing breaker trips on lower-rated hook-ups. Advanced Sleep Mode locks the compressor at a steady low speed for quiet overnight running. SmartECO enables off-grid operation when paired with a Dometic TEMPRA lithium battery (300 Ah or larger recommended) and a suitable inverter, automatically managing battery resources by adjusting cooling output or switching to fan mode. Wi-Fi connectivity is built in, and the CleanAir bipolar ioniser system comes as standard, reducing bacteria, mould, and odours throughout the vehicle interior.
The compatible air distribution box is the FJZ ADBD (sold separately), featuring an electronic touch control display, warm white LED ambient lighting, vertically adjustable outlet vents, and a reusable dust filter. Airflow is rated at 350 m³/h. The FJZ7 2600 uses R32 refrigerant (380g charge, GWP 2088) and operates across an ambient temperature range of -2°C to +52°C. The rooftop unit features Dometic's aerodynamic profile with LED light curve. Dometic backs this model with a 5-year warranty on parts. The 2300W heat pump output makes this a genuine year-round climate solution for touring in both warmer and cooler seasons.

3 years warranty when fitted at the Dometic Fitting Centre
We have partnered with Dometic to offer you an
extra years warranty. If you buy the fitted option above you will take your vehicle to the Dometic Fitting Centre in Tewsbury. The price paid here includes the
standard fitting and it will be fitted directly by Dometic themselves. As Dometic are fitting the air conditioning unit, they are happy to offer 3 years warranty instead of 2! You will also have the piece of mind that the fitting of the unit will be first-class as it will be fitted by a dedicated team of Dometic Service Engineers.
What happens once I place the fitted order with us?Once you place the order with us, we will send your details to the Dometic Fitting Centre. A Dometic team member will then contact you to organise a convenient time for you to bring in your vehicle. Be advised that Dometic will require a photograph of the roof of your vehicle as well as an interior image of the roof light and the surrounding area so they are able to assess if any additional work will be required to fit the unit. We will request this by email after you place the order with us. Please ignore the shipping information. We will not ship the FJX41500 to you, it will be delivered to the fitting centre in Tewkesbury awaiting your vehicle.
Standard fitting involves the removal of an existing 400 by 400 roof light and replacing with, and wiring in, the roof-top unit and installation of the ADB inside the interior of the vehicle. The cost does not include the moving or any other rooftop items you might have e.g. solar panels. If it is found that additional work is required the Dometic Fitting Centre will advise accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Dometic FreshJet FJZ7 2600 is recommended for caravans, motorhomes, and campervans up to 8 metres in length. For smaller vehicles up to 7 metres, the FJZ7 2200 is sufficient. For larger vehicles up to 9 metres, consider the FJZ7 3000, or the FJZ7 3500 for vehicles over 9 metres.
The FJZ7 2600 provides 2600W of cooling and 2300W of heating via energy-efficient heat pump technology. The heat pump reverses the refrigeration cycle to warm the vehicle interior. This heating capacity is sufficient for spring and autumn touring, warming a vehicle up to 8 metres in length during cooler mornings and evenings.
Yes. The FJZ7 2600 requires a minimum circuit protection of 6A. Its Adaptive Power Mode feature, accessible via the Dometic smartphone app, allows you to set a maximum power draw to match the available campsite amperage. The inverter compressor also eliminates the large current spikes associated with fixed-speed compressor start-ups.
Yes. The FJZ7 2200 and FJZ7 2600 share the same external dimensions of 752 x 225 x 702 mm and fit the same 400 x 400 mm roof opening. The FJZ7 2600 weighs 30 kg compared to 28.2 kg for the FJZ7 2200. The larger FJZ7 3000 and 3500 models have bigger dimensions at 1090 x 240 x 700 mm and 1090 x 285 x 700 mm respectively.
Dometic recommends a lithium battery capacity of 300 Ah or larger for SmartECO operation. The minimum requirement is a Dometic TEMPRA lithium battery. The system also needs a suitable inverter, such as the Dometic DPSI 1812iTS. The FJZ7 2600 connects to the battery system via Bluetooth and automatically adjusts its operation based on the battery charge level.
