Beat the heat before you hit the road!

Summer is coming, and if you have spent even one afternoon parked up in the Queensland sun without air conditioning, you already know why this matters. A good rooftop air conditioner is one of the single biggest upgrades you can make to your caravan, camper trailer, or motorhome. It turns a stuffy box on wheels into a comfortable place to actually relax.

With our Summer Sale now on, we have put together this guide to help you find the right unit for your rig, your budget, and the way you travel.

Why Air Con Matters More Than You Think

It is not just about comfort on a 35 degree day (although that is reason enough). A good air conditioner also:

• Keeps pets and kids safe and comfortable while you are set up at camp.
• Helps with humidity control, which protects timber cabinetry and soft furnishings.
• Doubles as a heater in most models, so you get year round use.
• Adds real resale value when it comes time to sell.

Our Range: Something for Every Rig

Dometic FreshJet 7 Series

The FreshJet range is a great all rounder, with three tiers to match different van sizes and budgets.

FreshJet Lite is the entry point into the Dometic range, ideal for campers, pop tops, and smaller caravans up to around 15ft. 

FreshJet Pro is our best selling mid tier unit, suited to caravans from 15ft to 19ft. 

FreshJet Plus is the premium option in the range, with the biggest cooling capacity. Built for caravans and motorhomes from 19ft and up.

myCoolman

If you are after a budget friendly, no fuss unit, the myCoolman range is worth a look.

myCoolman 2700 is the entry unit in the range and a great fit for caravans and RVs under 16ft.

myCoolman 3000 is the most popular van friendly size, suited to caravans and RVs over 19.6ft.

myCoolman 3500 is the largest in the range, a solid value upgrade for bigger vans.

Truma

Truma Saphir brings the compact, quiet reverse cycle option to the table, well suited to pop tops with a H frame or caravans under 19.6ft.

Truma Comfort suits pop tops with a H frame and caravans under 19.6ft.

Not Sure Which One Fits Your Van?

Here is a quick rule of thumb based on RV type:

• Camper trailers (under bunk unit): Truma Saphir.
• Wind up and pop tops: Truma Saphir (under bunk) or Dometic FreshJet Lite/Truma Comfort (roof mounted, depending on whether a H frame is needed).
• Caravans and RVs under 16ft: myCoolman 2700.
• Caravans and RVs under 19.6ft: Dometic FreshJet Lite or Truma Comfort.
• Caravans and RVs over 19.6ft: Dometic FreshJet Pro, myCoolman 3000, or myCoolman 3500.
• Anything 22ft and over: Dometic FreshJet Plus or myCoolman 3500.

As always, check your power supply (12V, 240V or generator), your inverter size (2200 to 2600W is a good guide), and any roof space or existing unit constraints before you decide. Our team is always happy to talk through the right fit for your van.
