Is your caravan more like an oven than a happy holiday home?
There’s nothing quite like an Australian summer. We all have memories of roasting away in our vans like a pig on a spit on a hot summer’s night. Fans can help a bit, but when it really gets hot, they tend to just blow around the hot air without helping much.
If you want to create your own personal caravan mini-climate then you’ll need an air conditioner. The beauty of these is that, provided they can run as a reverse cycle unit, they can be used to heat your van in winter.
However, it’s not always easy to find the right type for you. A variety of styles suit different vehicles and lifestyles.
But don’t worry, I’m here to help. Let’s look at several caravan air conditioners with different pros and cons.
