Had a Truma Aventa Comfort Air-conditioner fitted to our Adria Adora Sava 623. It is a game changer and makes the van so comfortable keeping the temperature at the set level and also dehumidifying the air for that cool dry alpine fresh feel. It is very quiet at night in ‘night-mode’. It is controlled either via the Alde Panel or the supplied Remote. It will also supply heat. Top tip - in very hot and humid conditions it is best to run the fan at MED or HIGH.

I bought a motorhome with this and am in the process of removing it. We don't like staying at camp sites, and as you need mains to run the air con I doubt that we would ever use it. In Germany last year it was about 40 degrees, we were on a camp site and all I did was to go fully clothed into the camp site shower on cold, soaked myself and came out and steamed. That made me cool off and didn't cost £1700! As you have to be on a camp site to use air con, it follows that you can have a cold shower. The weight is a problem on my motorhome which is very close to its maximum and I would rather carry 25litres more water which I will use rather than 25kg of air con which will be used one week per year. Having said that, Mrs is ranting at me to keep it!

Just had a Truma Comfort fitted with our new caravan. A must as far as I am concerned. Useful video. Looking at other comments I was told it runs about 3.8 amps so a 10 amp hook up upwards will allow it to run plus ability to still use other appliances.

We had a Dometic Freshjet unit installed in our motorhome and it has been a godsend. We had a powered fan/ window removed in the kitchen area and it vents to the bedroom and living room. In France and Spain we were caught up in the heatwave with 46c outside. The unit cooled our 7.5m motorhome down to 20c with ease. You need to check the site's power supply though- especially on the continent where you get perhaps 5amps.

@@abbywaddington7636 AMC Motorhomes near Hailsham, East Sussex. Not sure how far away they are from you but they were very good, only took a day. The air that comes out of it is like ice, it’s lovely. Think we might move in to the moho this weekend to escape the heat wave 😆 BTW. Prices may have come down since we had it installed. They’ll advise on the correct size of unit for your moho. We are 7.6m long and our AC is for a 7m van but it works fine. You can decide where the air blows, it’s all adjustable. It had a sleep mode too which is quieter and it actually brings the temp up during the night by itself because it gets colder at night so you don’t wake up frozen!
