Caravan Air Conditioners
About this collection
An Australian summer decides this one for most people. A caravan air conditioner is either mounted through the roof hatch or stood on the floor, and the two suit different vans and different trips.
Rooftop or portable
Rooftop units replace a roof vent, free up floor space, and cool a whole van evenly. They add height and weight up top, which affects clearance and towing, and fitting is a job for an installer. Portable units need no installation, can move between a van and a tent or annexe, and suit vans without a suitable hatch — but they take floor space and need somewhere to vent hot air.
Sizing and power
- Capacity. Match cooling output to van length and insulation rather than buying the largest unit — an oversized unit short-cycles and controls humidity poorly.
- Reverse cycle. Units that heat as well as cool earn their keep on alpine and winter trips, not just summer ones.
- Power draw. Most rooftop units want 240V, so plan around powered sites or a generator. Check the startup surge, not just the running watts, against whatever is supplying it.
- Noise. Published dB figures are worth comparing if anyone sleeps directly under the unit.
