Aventa comfort

In many cases, air conditioning systems are used in cars for just 20 to 30 minutes. A comfortable temperature of about 23 °C should be reached within a very short time. Because cars often have dark colours inside and outside and angled windows, such as the windscreen, they heat up very quickly. This is why car air conditioning systems are equipped with a high cooling output (6 to 8 kW). They are much more powerful, as the compressor of the air conditioning system is driven by the car’s engine. This explains why the engine loses power when the air conditioning system is switched on in the car.

On the other hand, RVs are often used for several hours. The air conditioning system is also used over a long period (while driving or at the camp site). Light external colours and steep windows reduce heating of the vehicle compared to cars. The cooling output of air conditioning systems in RVs is generally much lower, as they are electrically operated and the power supply is limited. This is why a high level of energy efficiency, which ensures optimum cooling output with low power consumption, is essential.

Our air conditioning system can produce a maximum temperature difference of 10°C under optimum conditions, such as when the vehicle is in shadow, is darkened, windows and skylights are closed and humidity is low.

You can keep a cool head at any temperature by following the tips:

• Before starting the system, check that the camp site has adequate fuses (min. 4 A).
• Position your vehicle in shade if possible.
• Closing blinds reduces heat radiation.
• Clean your roof at regular intervals – dirty roofs are hotter roofs.
• Ventilate the vehicle properly before starting the appliance in order to remove accumulated warm air from the vehicle.
• To obtain a healthy indoor climate, the difference between inside and outside temperatures should not be too large.
• During operation, the circulated air is cleaned and dehumidified. Dehumidifying moist air creates a pleasant indoor climate even if the temperature differences are not great.
• When cooling, close all doors and windows so that no condensation forms on the air distributor.

Truma air conditioning systems have a closed cool air circulation system. As opposed to cars, no coolant has to be replenished or replaced.

For Saphir air conditioning systems we recommend that you clean the fluff filter twice per year and replace it if necessary. We recommend that you replace the particle filter every year at the beginning of the season.

With Aventa air conditioning systems we recommend that you replace the air filter each year or as required.

Unfortunately not, as the air distributors of the individual generations are installed in fundamentally different ways. Accordingly, Aventa 2nd generation air conditioning systems are only compatible with 2nd generation air distributors, while 1st generation air distributors can only be attached to suitable 1st generation roof-mounted air conditioning systems.
