Is it better to choose the top or bottom of the RV air conditioner? What are the advantages and disadvantages of various types of air conditioners? Can I use a home air conditioner? ... Today, I will introduce the relevant knowledge of RV air conditioning for you.
01 What are the categories of RV air conditioners?
RV air conditioners are roughly divided into two categories: driving air conditioners and parking air conditioners. The two can be distinguished by their names. The former is used during the driving of the RV, and the latter is used after arriving at the campsite.
driving air conditioner
It is generally used in self-propelled RVs, that is, the air conditioner that comes with the chassis part and is used during the driving of the vehicle. Generally, it is necessary to provide power directly from the engine during driving, and the use method is the same as that of the air conditioner on an ordinary family car.
Tips:
In the parking state, the driving air conditioner cannot be used for a long time, which will cause the carbon monoxide concentration in the car to exceed the standard and suffocate. In addition, in the idling state, the cooling effect of the driving air conditioner is poor. When the cockpit is connected to the living area, the original car factory is generally equipped with a "rear air conditioner evaporator" to better ensure the cooling effect.
Parking air conditioner
As the name suggests, it is an air conditioner that borrows a stable power supply when the RV arrives at its destination and is parked. According to the different installation positions, it can be divided into two types: top-mounted air conditioners and bottom-mounted air conditioners; according to functions, it can be divided into heating and cooling air conditioners and single-refrigeration air conditioners; according to the type of air conditioners, it can be divided into household air conditioners and RV special air conditioners; It can be divided into 12V, 24V, 220V air conditioners.
