After a day of summer fun It can be exhausting to return to your camper in the scorching heat.

Whatever long your caravan is running it must be able to run your compressor all day long.

If you own two AC units, you are able to switch between the rear and front AC units.

AC is a must for every caravan. This is because caravans and trailers get hot quickly under direct sunlight.

A vehicle without an AC unit isn’t uncommon. We’ll give you suggestions on how to utilize your AC effectively.

This is a brief review of the way that an air conditioner functions

A caravan AC creates cold air as it circulates through its system, but it is not like a home air conditioner.

The caravan AC makes use of moisture and heat from outside to produce cool air inside your rigs.

Water evaporates and is then collected by filters. An evaporator is an instrument that generates air and heat.

In contrast, the compressor system holds the molecules of refrigerant gaseous together and pressurizes it until it turns into a liquid. It then flows through pipes that turn back to liquid within the evaporator. This is how moisture, heat and cold air transform into.

How do you operate an AC unit in a caravan all day

An AC caravans unit needs at least 3,500 Watts of power to begin and at least 1,500 Watts per hour to operate.

You can alter the temperature to meet your requirements using the thermostat.

These steps can assist you to set up your AC.

  • The first step is to have to set the AC cooling unit’s temperature to “high cool” This will regulate the speed of the fan and the quantity of air that is blown through your vehicle.
  • Then, set the temperature so that it is “cool” or “cold”. As the fan pulls in air from outside but it doesn’t cool it.
  • The next step is to select your preferred temperature. You can select temperatures ranging from 73 to 77 degrees.

That’s it! Easy, right? It’s simple, right?

Tip: Don’t lower the thermostat to below 70 degrees. This can cause system damage.

Switch it on prior to leaving for work or out exploring. This will allow the air conditioner to cool.

From the morning until night the temperature stays the same. The ideal time to lower the temperature is at night.

Tips: Make sure that you have a reliable power source.
