You can travel comfortably in RVs. During the hottest days, cool interiors with good air conditioning are essential. Ceiling units are versatile and don’t require much room in your home. While you drive, you can run them off a generator or plug them into a power source.
Depending on the weather, 13,500 to 15,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour should provide adequate cooling for most RVs. A ducted ventilation unit should also be purchased if your RV is equipped with one. You may also be able to get a unit that can function as a heating unit in cold conditions if you wish. Below are the best models for different types of users.
Coleman Mach 15+
The Coleman Mach 15+ covers all the bases. With 15,000 BTUs, this powerful unit will cool down RVs of all sizes. The 15+ can provide 320 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of ventilation in ducted systems. Cold nights can also be protected with a heater that outputs 5600 BTUs.
Dometic Brisk II
A Dometic Brisk II produces 15,000 BTUs instead of 13.5K BTUs. In hot weather, a larger RV should remain cool. Aside from its affordable price, Brisk II boasts strong performance, as well as its low weight of 74 pounds. Warranty coverage is two years.
Dometic Brisk II
A Dometic Brisk II air conditioner is a good option if you’re looking to cool a smaller RV on a budget. In moderate weather, a large RV with 13,500 BTUs of cooling air should also work. It weighs only 77 pounds and is simple to install. This has made Dometic’s Brisk II RV air conditioner Amazon’s best-selling item. Product warranty is two years.
Coleman Mach 3+
It’s possible that the Mach 3+ is the best choice for you if you don’t need the higher performance of the Coleman Mach 15+, but want the option of an optional heating unit. Mach 3+ has 13,500 BTUs and costs about a few hundred dollars less than Mach 5+. The airflow is the same as that of our top pick, at 320 cubic feet per minute. This is also one of the best-selling RV air conditioners, which explains its popularity.
RecPro RP-AC2801
Choosing a low-profile air conditioner can help you maximise clearance over your RV’s roof. The RV’s roof gap is narrower than the RecPro model despite its size. Remote controls with timers make operating the unit easier. It emits 51 to 55 decibels of noise, depending on the speed of its fan. Two years are covered under the warranty.
