Top Quality AC Repairs and Services for Your Caravan in Brisbane for Hassle-Free Camping

Caravan air conditioning is a must-have, not a luxury. Without a properly functioning AC unit, you may not be able to get the desired cooling or heating in your van, and may not be able to enjoy the fun of your camping and holidaying. Air-conditioning becomes important for the caravan as the vehicle is often taken to offbeat locations, away from city populations where help is not easily available.

Three common types of AC units used in caravan, RV and motorhome vehicles include:

Rooftop mounted

These units allow for maximum efficiency and use of space. It draws warm air in and cools it down, while the cool air is allowed to sink naturally inside your van. It has a fixed glazed panel to let the natural light in, while built-in down lighting can provide your vehicle a soft lighting effect in the evening.

Split AC

The compressor unit is installed under a hidden area, such as under a chair or bed while the air handler is installed in a cupboard. These units are generally quieter than rooftop-mounted and can be effective in cooling quickly as they are installed at a lower position where the air is relatively cooler. These can be easily installed as no ductwork is needed. Some units come with excellent heating capabilities.

Under-bunk ducted

This one-piece unit can be installed under a bunk as it is compact in size with a vent to the outside. Air is evenly circulated throughout the vehicle with the help of ducts. Airflow can flexibly be adjusted and directed to suit the individual needs with flexible air ducts. It can provide cooling to every corner of the vehicle. You can opt to choose a reverse cycling unit for cooling and heating on the go. Reverse cycling units are more common but they could have issues for some models when there is ice in the outside air.

Why AC needs repairs 

Your vehicle’s AC unit may lose between 10% to 60% of its refrigerant each year, depending upon its usage. As such, you may not be able to get the desired cooling from it when the unit is not serviced at regular intervals. No matter whether you have rooftop-mounted AC, split AC or an under-bunk AC, AllBrand Caravans can meet any of your caravan AC repair service needs in Brisbane and neighboring areas with professional expertise.
