The Owner's Insights on the Truma Aventa Compact Plus V2 Reverse Cycle Roof Top Air Conditioner
The Compact Plus is the Aventa for vans that don't need the Comfort's extra grunt. Same skylight-fit install, same reverse cycle heating and cooling, but 24.2kg instead of 28.7kg and a good deal cheaper.
Cooling is 2,200W and heating is 1,500W, which Truma pitch at vans from 6 to 7 metres. An inverter compressor and a night mode keep it quiet enough to actually sleep through.
Same soft start as the rest of the Aventa range, so a shared caravan park supply or a mid-sized generator handles the startup without tripping. At 24.2kg it's still a two person job onto the roof.
Why You'll Love the Truma Aventa Compact Plus V2 Reverse Cycle Roof Top Air Conditioner
- 2,200W cooling, 1,500W heating. Real reverse cycle comfort sized for 6 to 7 metre vans.
- Inverter compressor with night mode. Quiet enough to run while you sleep.
- Soft start function. It won't trip a 10 amp caravan park supply or bully your generator.
- 24.2kg including the air distributor. Lighter than the Comfort, easier on your roof.
- Fits an existing skylight. The cheapest install path on a van that already has an opening.
- White or black finish. Match it to your van instead of settling for whatever turns up.
- Remote or CP Plus control. Set it from the remote, or from the panel if your van has one.
Why You Should Consider a Truma Rooftop Air Conditioner

Why soft start matters at a caravan park
A standard air conditioner throws its compressor straight into action, and that inrush is what trips a 10 amp site post or overwhelms a small generator. Soft start ramps it up over a couple of seconds instead. In practice it means you can run your air conditioner on a site supply that's shared with other vans, and a mid-sized generator handles it without a fight.
Compact Plus or Comfort?
Truma pitch the Compact Plus at vans from 6 to 7 metres, and it's lighter and cheaper than the alternative. If your van is longer than 7 metres, or you want more cooling and heating headroom regardless of length, the Aventa Comfort V2 steps up to 2,500W cooling and 2,000W heating for 4.5kg more.
Roof unit or under bunk?
A roof unit like this goes in an existing skylight opening, which is far and away the simplest install, and it doesn't cost you a single locker. The trade-offs are height, wind drag, and 24.2kg sitting on top of the van. An under-bunk unit like the Truma Saphir keeps the weight low and the roof clear for solar, but you give up storage and the install is more involved.
Can you run it off a generator?
Yes, and the soft start is why. It draws 5 amps cooling and 2.1 heating on 240V. A 2kW inverter generator handles the cooling load comfortably even with the compressor startup; ring the store on 03 7056 6732 with your generator model and we'll tell you straight, or look through our inverter generator range.
Getting it installed
A skylight-fit roof unit is the easiest air conditioner install there is, but it's still cutting, sealing and a 240V connection on your roof. A bad seal is a leak you find in the next downpour. Unless you've done it before, get a caravan technician to fit it. Ring the store and we'll point you at someone near you.
What's Included
- Truma Aventa Compact Plus V2 roof top air conditioner
- Air distributor
- Remote control
What's Not Included
- Professional installation and roof sealing
- CP Plus control panel, if you'd rather not use the remote
- A 240V power source: powered site, generator or power station
Installation material is over and above the unit weight, so budget for it with your installer. What you still need is a 240V supply, whether that's a powered site, a caravan generator or a power station.
Not Sure Which Rooftop Air Conditioner Suits You?
The Compact Plus suits you if your van is 6 to 7 metres, your roof isn't full of solar, and you want reverse cycle comfort without paying for capacity you won't use. If your van is longer, or you want more headroom, the Aventa Comfort V2 is the step up. If the roof is spoken for, the Truma Saphir goes under a bunk instead. Not sure it will fit your van? Call the store on 03 7056 6732 and we'll work through it with you before you order.
