RV FEATURE
IN-DEPTH ON THE COOL TOP TRAIL

Of all the features and comforts found on a modern caravan , arguably none are more important than the reverse-cycle air-conditioner . It ’ ll keep you cool in the heat and warm in the cold .
The Webasto Cool Top Trail range of reverse-cycle AC units are starting to gain traction in the market . So , what sets them apart ?
The Cool Top Trail is available in a number of different sizes . During a visit to Lyfe RV in Epping , Vic , we checked out the Cool Top Trail 24 and 34 units . The principal difference between these ACs is their cooling capacities : 2400W and 3400W respectively . Ultimately , which one you choose would depend on the size of the van . The CTT34 would suit a larger van , perhaps 20ft-plus , while the 2400W CTT24 would suit smaller rigs .
Each unit features a slimline design , which is particularly noticeable inside the van – these units don ’ t encroach very much on internal headroom . Being 6ft 2in tall , that ’ s something I particularly appreciated when checking them out .
