When it comes to designing a motorhome conversion, climate control is an important consideration, especially during the hot summer months. For me, having a portable air conditioning unit was a crucial component of my design, and I had several reasons for this decision.
Firstly, having a portable air conditioning unit allowed me to regulate the temperature and create a comfortable living space, regardless of the outside temperature. Being able to maintain a comfortable living space was essential for my overall comfort and wellbeing on the road.
Secondly, a portable air conditioning unit gave me the flexibility to move the unit from one area of the motorhome to another. This allowed me to create a comfortable living space in any area of the motorhome, depending on my needs and preferences.
Thirdly, the fact that the air conditioning unit was portable allowed me to remove it during the winter months when I didn’t need it. This meant that I could free up space in the motorhome and save on battery power.
However, there were also some drawbacks to using a portable air conditioning unit. For instance, the unit used a lot of battery power, which meant that I had to be careful about how long I used it for. Additionally, the unit required a 240v inverter to function, which added an additional layer of complexity to my electrical system.
Overall, choosing a portable air conditioning unit for my motorhome conversion was a good decision for me. It provided me with the flexibility and comfort I needed on the road, while also being easy to remove and store when not in use. However, if you’re considering a similar project, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of using a portable air conditioning unit and decide if it’s the right choice for your needs and preferences.
