The importance of Air conditioning in Caravans
Here at Allchin Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, we can help you get the ideal cooling system for your caravan at a price you can afford.
Air Conditioning Makes You Comfortable
The most obvious reason to have air conditioning in your caravan is to keep you comfortable when it’s hot outside. When the temperature soars, you can turn on the cooling system in your caravan and keep the inside regulated so you aren’t sweaty and hot as you go about your daily business.
Caravan Air Conditioning Protects Your Health
Besides being comfortable, staying cool can also offer health protection benefits. By keeping your caravan at a lower temperature during the summer, you can prevent heatstroke, which can have devastating consequences if it’s not treated, especially in young children and elderly people.
Allowing your body to overheat can also lead to organ failure and brain damage so it’s vital to keep your inside space cool when it’s toasty outside.
The Importance of Air Conditioning
Air Conditioning Increases the Value of Your Caravan
Even if you aren’t planning to sell your caravan, you may want to do so at some point down the road. By adding an air conditioner, you instantly increase the value so you can get more for it when you do decide to sell. We offer some of the top brands in the country and choosing the right one can increase the value even more since you’ll have a reputable name being your caravan’s air conditioner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best air conditioner for a caravan?
It depends on your van size, travel plans and power setup. Rooftop units are most common — brands like Dometic, Aircommand and Truma offer reliable options with cooling and heating. Under-bunk models are great when roof clearance is an issue.
If you're off-grid often, look for models with low power draw and inverter compatibility. An installer can help weigh up the options based on your layout and how you use your van.
Can caravan air conditioners run on solar power?
Some can — but not all. Standard caravan air conditioners usually need 240V mains or a generator. If you’re running off-grid on solar, you’ll need a system with enough battery storage and an inverter rated for the air con’s startup load.
It’s not just about watts — you need to factor in peak current draw. Speak to an installer about whether your current solar setup is up to the task.
Why is my caravan air conditioner so noisy?
Noise usually comes from vibration, worn bearings, loose panels or poor installation. Rooftop units can rattle if not sealed properly or if they're mounted on a thin roof. Internal fans and blowers can also wear out over time.
A technician can check mounting, insulation, fan condition and refrigerant pressure to identify and fix the issue. Newer models are significantly quieter — especially inverter-based systems.
How often should caravan air conditioners be serviced?
Ideally, once a year — especially before a long trip or a big season on the road. Caravan air conditioners pick up dust, salt and road grime, which can block airflow and wear out moving parts.
Servicing includes cleaning the filters, flushing the drain tray, checking refrigerant and testing electrical connections. Regular maintenance not only keeps the unit running but also helps prevent breakdowns halfway through your holiday.
