5 Best Portable RV Air Conditioners

Portable air conditioners can easily be moved where needed, using them in RVs or travel trailers can greatly improve your vacation experience in hot summer days....

            When looking for an air conditioner for your RV, most persons chooses one that either hangs outside of the side windows or mounts on the roof.

While roof-mounted RV ACs are most elegant and “trouble-free” solutions there is another, often forgotten option: portable ACs.

The beauty of portable ACs is that they are not “tight” to the place.

In other words they can be easily moved around and used in most demanding areas. This flexibility allows them to be used also at your home, or summer house. Controlling the temperature inside of your mobile home be it an RV or in general a travel trailer is just one of possibilities to consider.
