Air conditioning units for a motor home are normally a specialist type of cooling unit. The rooftop motor home air conditioning system can improve your enjoyment of the recreational vehicle by providing cool conditions on those hot sunny days. Some systems can be operated while driving the vehicle while others are only operational when supplied with main line electricity usually while hooked up in caravan parks.

The rooftop recreational vehicle (RV) air conditioner supplies air in a recirculating cycle and does not use outside air as the heat load from the environment on hot days would be difficult to condition effectively.
Recreational vehicle (RV) air conditioning has become popular due to the lower costs involved with inclusion on purchase of new vehicles as well as the relative low cost in installing in owned vehicles.
There are several options for installation including :
- Rooftop units
- Internally fitted packaged units
- Split systems
Consideration has to taken for the placement or positioning of the machine so the type of unit is usually chosen due to the available space in the leisure vehicle. The capacity of the machine can be worked out by using either the leisure vehicles data or by information supplied by your chosen air conditioner manufacturer.
Installation by an experienced motorhome installation person is highly recommended.
Air conditioning in a motorhome can enhance the pleasure recreational vehicle owners experience. Just having the option to change the internal conditions in a motor home can make a hot day much more pleasant and could help you make the decision to use the vehicle more frequently, after all the thought of spending the day in a sauna or an oasis is a no brainer.
