1. What’s the length of your motorhome?
Larger vehicles require an air conditioner with greater cooling capacity, or in certain situations, multiple units work in concert.
2. Where can I put the air conditioner?
Either on the vehicle’s roof or in the trunk.
3. Are your RV’s enormous, panoramic windows dark in color?
If this is the case, it will heat up more quickly and need more cooling than a white car with small windows.
4. How well-insulated is your RV?
One low-powered air conditioner is typically plenty for a new car that is well-insulated.
1. What areas do you visit, and when do you go there?
2. How many passengers will you be taking?
3. Do you frequently cook in your RV and does steam appear?
4. Do you frequently take showers in your RV, raising the humidity?
5. Do you prefer the car to have air conditioning throughout, or just in the sleeping area?
6. What temperature do you want the car to be cooled down to?
Similar to a refrigerator, compressor air conditioners operate. An enclosed system circulates a refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant is liquefied by a compressor’s pressure before being fed to an evaporator. There, it takes up thermal energy from the surroundings, causing the room’s temperature to drop. Additionally, moisture from the air is absorbed.
The refrigerant used in evaporative air conditioners is water. An always-moist surface is passed over by the air drawn in from the outside. As the water evaporates, heat is taken out of the atmosphere. Evaporative air conditioners, however, are unable to dry the air out. As a result, these gadgets are better suited to areas with moderate temperatures and dry climates.
Your health is directly impacted by the proper temperature and humidity combination. The humidity should decrease as the room’s temperature rises. Comfortable spaces are those that are between 18 and 24 degrees Fahrenheit and between 40 and 70 percent relative humidity.
Example: 27°C temperature and 65% relative humidity. A compressor air conditioning system can reach the comfort zone, while an evaporative system cannot.
Air conditioning systems differ not only by their technology but also by their installation location. This is already evident from the name. Air conditioning systems differ not only by their technology but also by their installation location. This is already evident from the name.
Roof-mounted air conditioners are installed quickly on the roof of your motor home and save space.
The storage area of your car is equipped with storage box air conditioners. Through ducts, the cool air is raised upward.
Distributes the air flexibly.
Cools very quietly.
Shifts the vehicle’s center of gravity downward, which has a positive effect on driving properties.
Skylight remains.
Given that campgrounds have various fuse ratings, low electrical usage is a particularly significant advantage. Not all air conditioners can be used in locations with faulty fuses. Multiple electrical devices cannot always be used simultaneously as a result. The surrounding circumstances, including the temperature, have an impact on power consumption as well. Always take cooling efficiency into consideration in this situation.
But the effectiveness of an RV air conditioner also depends on how long it takes to cool the caravan, not just how much power it uses. The power formula is as follows:
Energy consumption = power consumption × operating voltage × time
Less energy is used and power bills decrease the quicker the target temperature is reached.
When purchasing an RV air conditioner, weight is equally as crucial as power usage. After all, every extra kilogram has an impact on the vehicle’s total weight, handling, and fuel efficiency.
Check to see if the air distributor and installation materials are included in the weight information. The weight of the device can range from two to four kg.
At night, it’s extremely crucial to have minimal noise. RV air conditioners should be running as softly as possible at this time to ensure that you and the other campers can sleep peacefully. Systems for storage boxes are built into the vehicle, making them incredibly quiet.
Integrated heat pump
If you use your RV all year long, a decent air conditioner will allow you to heat and chill it simultaneously. Compressor air conditioners with heat pumps can be utilized both as heaters and air conditioners because of the reversible cooling circulation mechanism. In the car, these gadgets produce a comfortable warmth, especially in the transitional months.
Smart operation
Also, check that operating your air conditioner is simple and convenient. The digital CP plus control panel and remote control are both used to operate Truma air conditioning units.
