Why use a 12V air conditioning unit?

You may have air conditioning in the front of your cab, so why not enjoy cool air in the rest of your motorhome or camper van?

A 12v air conditioner can provide cool air when you need it most. Some units also have heating or dehumidifying functions as well.

Motorhome owners often choose 12V air conditioning units over higher voltage ones due to power compatibility and efficiency. For example, leisure vehicles typically have a 12V electrical system, which is directly compatible with 12V air conditioners. This means you can run the air conditioner directly from the vehicle’s battery or solar panels without needing a power inverter, which is required for higher-voltage aircon units. Plus, 12V air conditioners are generally more energy-efficient for the limited power resources inside your campervan. This ensures that the electrical system isn’t overloaded and power consumption is minimised, especially useful for when you choose to go off-grid in your vehicle! 

How do 12V air conditioners work?

12V air conditioners come in roof-mounted and internally-mounted varieties. They typically work by using the vehicle’s 12-volt electrical system, powered by the leisure battery that also powers the lights and other small appliances.

These 12 volt air conditioning units are designed to be energy efficient, consuming less power to fit the limited energy resources of a motorhome.

They are designed to cool the air in your vehicle to maintain a comfortable temperature inside without the need for external power sources, inverters or generators. This makes them ideal for off-grid camping or travel.

Roof-mounted 12V air conditioners are normally installed above the sleeping area of your campervan to help you get a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

Install your 12v air conditioner

12V air conditioning units help you keep your cool wherever you are. Since they don’t require an inverter or generator, they’re far more energy efficient than 220V options!

All 12v van air conditioners from Motorhome Workshop will be installed by qualified technicians in an AWS-approved workshop in West Sussex. All parts and labour will be fully guaranteed, too.
