Product Q&A

• Does the heating mode have fan speed?

  Unfortunately not, the heating mode can only work in Auto.

• I intend to run my Caravan Air Conditioner from a Generator as we will be staying in unpowered locations and my battery bank is not big enough to run the AC for very long. What size Generator do you recommend running my Caravan AC?

  The answer is quite simple, and it just depends on the Caravan Aircon model you have. If you have one of the newer Caravan Aircon models that include inverter technology within the compressor, then a 2000w inverter generator will be fine.

  If you have an Aircon model that does not include inverter technology within the compressor (of which there are many new and old Aircon models on the market that do not have inverter tech), then we would recommend a minimum 2200-2400w inverter generator. This is because the Aircon models without inverter technology in the compressor require a bit more power on start up.

  Please note that the above sizing advice does not take into consideration any other appliances running and drawing power from the generator at the same time as the Aircon is running.

  As a general rule, depending on the above criteria of Aircon compressor type, most of our Caravan customers will opt for a generator of around 2000 to 3500 watts in size. There are other larger inverter generator models available from 4000 to 6500 watts in size, but these are less commonly used by caravan/RV owners.

  Popular Caravan Generator models include:

  • Dometic PGE121 2100w
  • Cromtech Outback 2400w
  • Briggs & Stratton P2400w
  • Yamaha EF220IS 2200w
  • Briggs & Stratton P3400w
  • Engel R3000IE 3500w

• Can I run my Caravan Air Conditioner from my Caravan Battery Bank?

  The short answer is yes, it is possible. However, there are a few extra important things to consider.

  The main thing is how long you will be able to run your Aircon for. You could use a quality 2000w+ inverter (note that Caravan Aircons are 240V) with say a 200ah lithium battery and you will get around 1-2 hours Aircon run time, before you must recharge the batteries again. Depending on how you recharge your batteries (DC to DC charger, solar, mains power etc.), this charging will take time.

  So once again; you can do it with certain batteries & inverters if you are aware of how that will affect your battery storage and charge loss... and knowing how to manage that system.

  You can get a larger lithium battery system to run your Aircon for longer, but obviously this will cost more, so that needs to be considered. It is certainly a big recent trend that our RV customers are installing quality lithium battery systems to run their Caravans/Motorhomes etc. However, running an Aircon unit can be one of the larger power drawing appliances in your van, so it pays to consider your power system's capabilities and how long you want to run the Aircon.

  If you are just pulling up for short stops (1-2hrs) and you are doing a lot of driving, you can run your Caravan Aircon from your lithium batteries for this short time. Many RV owners do this, and as new Caravan Aircon models become increasingly energy efficient and lithium battery advancements evolve to be cheaper, more powerful, and even lighter, then we will certainly see this trend increase. However, currently the popular and often cost-effective choice to run your Aircon if you do not have access to mains power (i.e., free camping) is to use a small inverter generator. You can get a quality 2000-2400w sized inverter generator from around $1,000-$1,500 and these will run many RV Aircon units for 7+ hours before having to refuel.

  So once again, you can use a battery system, but it is not always the most practical option. For more advice on Power Systems to run your Caravan/RV, feel free to give us a call on: 1800 787 278.

• I'm looking at buying one of your Caravan Air Conditioner models for my 20ft Caravan. What do I need to know about installation and set once I get the AC unit delivered?

  Hi there, fitting and Install instructions come with each Aircon unit, but it is advised a qualified installer (electrical contractor) undertakes the installation.

• What are the noise levels of your Caravan Air Conditioner units? I'm looking for a quiet model.

  This is a commonly asked question by Caravan/RV owners; however, it is unfortunate that Caravan Aircon manufacturers do not provide dBA ratings in their product model specifications. 

  We can say that we only sell high quality Air Conditioners from premium brands in the RV industry. The only time we have encountered an issue with noise is when the install was not undertaken correctly which can cause a rattle. However, if you ensure the install is done properly, there will be no issues with any of our RV Aircon units being too noisy. 

• Does the Aircon unit come pre gassed ready to go or does it need to be charged?

  Hi There,

  Yes, the Aircon is pre gassed from factory and is ready to install.

• Do I need any other components for installation?

  No, this unit comes with everything needed as if you were doing a brand new installation from scratch!

• What is the lowest temperature the Air Conditioner can be set at?

  The Mycoolman Air Conditioner can be set to 16 degrees. Please note that we do not advise customers running any aircon at 16°C if the outside temperature is 30°C+

• How does the myCOOLMAN Air Con Operate?

  The myCOOLMAN Air Con operates from AC Electricity, it can be used when the vehicle/caravan are plunged into mains power or a generator Depending on how the wiring is set up, the myCOOLMAN AC is also capable of running from DC batteries via a suitable pure sine wave inverter

• Can I replace my existing Air Con with the myCOOLMAN unit?

  The myCOOLMAN AC comes with a 360mm x 360mm and 400mm x 400mm mounting plate so it can be used wherever the existing cutout is
  either of these sizes If replacing a different rooftop AC unit, ensure the myCOOLMAN unit dimensions will fit between solar panels etc.

• Does the myCOOLMAN Air Con have Bluetooth connectivity?

  Yes, the myCOOLMAN AC has Bluetooth connectivity, simply download the myCOOLMAN AC APP and pair with the unit and you'll be able to monitor & control the unit whilst within Bluetooth range. You will also be able to operate the unit via the remote control, or even the touch screen display on the ADB itself

• I want to install the myCOOLMAN on a caravan with a thick roof?

  The myCOOLMAN Air Con can be fitted to any vehicle with 20-100mm roof thickness we can supply additional spacers to suit roof thickness as required

• How much does the myCOOLMAN Air Con weigh?

  The myCOOLMAN Air Con weighs in at under 37kg including the ADB unit which is relatively lightweight considering the performance capability of the unit.

• What size caravan/RV is the myCOOLMAN Air Con suited to?

  The myCOOLMAN Air Con is suited to Caravans/Vehicles up to 8m in length.

• Is the myCOOLMAN AC a heater as well?

  Yes the myCOOLMAN AC is both a heater & air con depending on what you require in the conditions you're in. It has a 3500W max output in cool and 3000W max output in heat mode.

• I want to run my myCOOLMAN Air Con from my battery bank when off grid. Can I achieve this?

  Yes the myCoolman is an inverter style AC which means it has a soft start feature. At startup there is no requirement for a large in rush of current like with non inverter style AC's. The Unit gradually powers up then settles at quite an efficient power consumption rate to allow reasonable run time from a large battery bank

• What do I need to run the myCOOLMAN Air Con from an inverter via battery bank?

  You require at least 400a of suitable lithium batteries & a high quality pure sine wave inverter of minimum 2000w rating (We recommend the 2000W or 3000W myCOOLMAN Inverter/Charger) On average the AC will consume between 60-100a per hour from a 12V battery bank.

• What are the operating temperature limitations of the myCOOLMAN Air Con?

  The myCOOLMAN Air Con will operate in a temperature range of +2° to +55°.

• Can I install the myCOOLMAN Air Con myself?

  While it is a fairly straightforward process we always encourage that you get qualified people/companies to carry out any installations to ensure proper operation. This device also involves AC electrical work that MUST be completed by a fully qualified & authorised electrician. Installation must follow guidelines set out in the owners manual. Please always refer to that information during the process.

• What are realistic temp settings on the myCOOLMAN AC?

  We strongly recommend being "realistic" when setting your desired temperature on the myCOOLMAN Air Con unit. When conditions are extreme (hot/humid) it is best to set the AC to 24 degrees initially and monitor temps - if you select 16 degrees, it is unlikely the van will reach the desired temp at all & will just be running constantly for no real temperature gain. The myCOOLMAN AC is a very powerful & efficient unit but operates best when desired temperatures are sensible in extreme conditions.
