An air conditioner for a caravan is expected to last for between 4 and 8 years. However, with proper maintenance and care the life span of a caravan AV will last for longer.

The life span of your electronic device or machine will be determined by the way you maintain it.

  1. Let the moisture go out of your roof vent by opening the vents on your roof after the AC is turned off.
  2. Keep your fan running. This will help the AC unit to operate more efficiently.
  3. Protect your RV’s air conditioner when it’s not operating or in off-season. It would be beneficial to invest in a top-quality cover. It will shield your AC unit from rain, snow, UV rays and other dirt.
  4. Your AC filter needs to be cleaned at least once per month. The air filter must be cleaned at least once a month.
  5. Your AC shouldn’t be working too hard. To make it less demanding, set the temperature to 24°C. It should only be run when absolutely needed and not continuously.
