Rooftop, Under-Bunk or Portable Caravan Air Conditioners

There's no single setup that suits every caravan. Let's take a closer look at the main options.

Rooftop Caravan Air Conditioners

Rooftop caravan air conditioners are a popular choice when you want powerful cooling without using valuable cupboard or floor space.

Before choosing one, check your roof opening, caravan height, roof load limits and cooling capacity. Low-profile models can also be useful when overall travelling height matters.

Under-Bunk Caravan Air Conditioners

Under bunk caravan air conditioners keep the main unit inside the caravan, usually beneath a bed or seat, with cool air distributed through ducts.

They're a practical option when roof space is limited by solar panels, vents or a pop-top design. Just make sure you have enough internal storage space for the unit and ducting.

Portable Caravan Air Conditioners

Portable caravan air conditioners offer more flexibility and generally require less permanent installation.

They can suit campers, smaller vans or travellers who only need cooling occasionally. Check how the unit vents hot air, how much power it requires and whether it provides enough cooling for your space.

Choosing the Right Size and Power Setup

Bigger isn't always better. Your caravan length, insulation, roof type, windows and typical travelling climate all affect how much cooling capacity you need.

It's also worth checking running power and start-up requirements before you buy, particularly if you spend time away from powered sites.

Small Caravan Air Conditioners for Pop Tops

Small caravan air conditioners can be a better match for compact vans where weight and space are limited.

When comparing caravan air conditioners for pop tops, pay particular attention to roof clearance, installation weight and power consumption. An under-bunk or portable unit may also make sense when the roof cannot support a conventional system.

Running Your Air Conditioner on Battery or Solar

Want to run your air conditioner off-grid? Check the unit's running wattage, start-up demand, inverter capacity and your battery's usable storage.

Solar can help recharge your batteries, but your complete electrical setup needs to be sized for the air conditioner rather than relying on solar panel wattage alone.
