Overview
The Truma Saphir Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner Kit (Part No. Saphir R/C-KIT) is a premium year-round climate control solution for caravans and motorhomes, offering both cooling and heating in a single, elegantly designed rooftop unit. As Australia's most popular caravan air conditioner platform, the Truma Saphir reverse cycle variant adds heating capability to the standard Saphir cooling unit — making it an ideal single-system solution for touring in all seasons, from hot Queensland summers to cool alpine mornings in the Snowy Mountains. The complete kit includes the rooftop unit, ceiling assembly, and all necessary installation components.
The Saphir Reverse Cycle operates on 230V AC and delivers impressive cooling and heating output relative to its compact, low-profile rooftop footprint. Its twin-turbine fan design ensures rapid, even air distribution throughout the caravan interior, and the integrated digital controller provides precise temperature management. Whisper-quiet operation makes the Saphir ideal for overnight use, while Truma's renowned German engineering ensures long-term reliability and ease of servicing. Compatible with Truma's iNet smart control system for remote temperature monitoring and adjustment via smartphone.
Common questions
Can I run it off my batteries?
Not realistically. It needs 230V and draws around 740W cooling, so you are looking at a powered site, a decent generator, or a large inverter and a battery bank to match. Treat it as a caravan park appliance and plan your free camping around fans.
Will it fit where my old air conditioner or hatch was?
If the opening is 400 x 400mm, yes — that is the standard roof cutout most vans already have from a hatch or an older unit. Check the roof structure can carry 29kg sitting up there, and that the ceiling below has the depth for the internal assembly.
Is reverse cycle heating enough in winter?
For taking the chill off a morning, yes — 2,000W of heat warms a van quickly. In genuinely cold conditions a heat pump loses efficiency as the outside air drops, which is why people touring the high country carry a gas or diesel heater as well.
