7 Impressive Air Conditioner Motorhome Options to Look For
Is your motorhome truly prepared for travelling in hot weather?
You might be looking forward to the long, warm days with favourable conditions
for exploring the outback, only to realise how uncomfortable it can be when
humidity and temperatures rise. The best way to stay comfortable is by
installing an air conditioner in
your motorhome. It will make your trip
more enjoyable regardless of the heat outside.
Most Class B RVs use air-conditioning that requires AC electricity. Most battery banks and solar panels do not have enough power to run a 120-volt air-conditioner. You must connect the appliance to mains power or a generator to run it efficiently.
On the other hand, you can try 12-volt air-conditioners. Although more expensive than 120-volt units, they are more off-grid friendly as they can run off solar power and the battery bank with less power draw. Let’s explore the options.
