Portable RV air conditioners offer several benefits over window air conditioners. These evaporative units combine the function of a dehumidifier, fan, cooler, and air cleaner all in one. They also take up less space and are more energy efficient than window- and roof-mounted models.
When you shop for portable RV air conditioners, look for models with a remote control, programmable 24-hour timer, an emergency water holding tank and a memory so it does not lose its programming during a power outage. Some of these units even come with heat pump technology, so you can use them as a heat source during the winter as well.
