Need to buy a new air conditioner for your RV? Choose one of high quality and most durable models for the greatest longevity.

  • You can find the best options from among reputable long-established brands. Examples include Dometic, Coleman/Airxcel, Furion, and Atwood. These are a few of the top names in the industry.
  • Always choose an energy-efficient unit that’s appropriately sized for your RV space (i.e. the right BTU cooling capacity rating; typically 13,500 or 15,000 BTUs).

Other factors to consider before deciding include things like: overall size and height profile, weight, ducted versus ductless, compatibility with flat or curved RV roofs, noise levels, shroud color, and warranty coverage.

Keep Camping Cool, Make Your RV AC Last Longer

There’s no doubt about it. Proper RV AC maintenance and regular cleaning will keep it as healthy as possible. Take good care of your AC and address potential problems proactively for a long-lasting unit. You, and your family and pets, will benefit by keeping cool throughout the RVing season. You’ll enjoy greater comfort, energy savings, and hopefully avoid costly repairs or replacement. 

Do right by your RV AC. Learn about the necessary care and maintenance needs from your RV AC owner’s manual. And, when a problem arises with your RV air conditioner, seek the services of a qualified RV technician.
