Rv Ac

RV Ac provides suitable air conditioning systems for compact but poorly insulated minibuses converted into motorhomes in Southeast Asia (especially Thailand and Malaysia), characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, dust, and complex road conditions.

For conversion companies, installing a standard-sized square opening and a mature roof-mounted air conditioning kit is a simpler process than installing a split-type system underneath.
All major components are located on the roof; only air vents and control panels need to be installed inside the vehicle.
During cooling, the cold air naturally sinks, theoretically resulting in high circulation efficiency.

The Severe Challenges RV Ac Faces in Southeast Asia
The Nightmare of Waterproofing the Minibus Roof Opening
Rain Intensity
Southeast Asian rainstorms are torrential and accompanied by strong winds. The sealing of the large opening in the roof is the ultimate test. Aging sealant and body deformation can lead to leaks, which can be devastating to the wooden interior structure.
Efficiency Decline Under High Temperatures
The air conditioning outdoor unit (condenser) is directly exposed to the equatorial sun on the roof, where ambient temperatures can reach over 60°C. This will severely reduce heat dissipation efficiency, leading to a significant decrease in cooling capacity, a surge in power consumption, and even triggering high-temperature protection to shut down.
Roadworthiness and Height Restrictions
Minibuses are already tall (typically exceeding 2.8 meters), and adding a roof-mounted air conditioner will increase the height by at least 20-30 centimeters.
This increases the risk of rollover (higher center of gravity) and severely restricts roadworthiness. Many rural roads in Southeast Asia have tree branches, old low-lying underpasses, and underground parking lots in shopping malls, making it impossible to enter.
Noise and Vibration
The compressor of a roof-mounted air conditioner is directly overhead, resulting in significant vibration and noise during operation (especially at night while sleeping), much louder than a floor-mounted or household split-type air conditioner.
Maintenance Inconvenience
Cleaning the condenser and checking for fallen leaves or debris blockages requires climbing onto the roof, which is inconvenient.

Features of the RV AC from Busclima Group
High Temperature Resistance, High Energy Efficiency. Choose the KK-50 model, which maintains high energy efficiency even in high-temperature environments.
For Southeast Asia, it is recommended to add a 20-30% margin to the standard calculations. For example, a 7-8 meter minibus might require a KK-50 (15,000 BTU) or higher cooling capacity.

Rv Ac’s Exquisite Installation Process: Reinforcement and Sealing: The opening must be reinforced with a steel structure to prevent minibus body twisting that could cause seal failure. High-quality automotive-grade sealant (such as polyurethane sealant) is used, applied in multiple layers and from multiple angles by experienced technicians.

Waterproofing Test: After installation, the unit undergoes a long-term, high-intensity simulated heavy rain test.

Heat Dissipation Space
Ensure sufficient mounting height between the air conditioner’s base and the roof to create an airflow layer for better heat dissipation. Never place it directly flat on the roof.
Superior Matching of the Electrical System: The RV Ac operates at higher currents at high temperatures. Ample margins are provided for wiring specifications, fuses, relays, and inverters.
