AIR CONDITIONING UNITS

If your caravan has an air conditioner then you
need to make sure your generator can handle
the power required for different situations.
If you are in the warmer climates and trying
to make your caravan cooler, then your air
conditioning system is going to work harder,
and therefore require more watts. Check with
