RV FEATURE
The Cool Top Trail range is also particularly quiet , as I discovered . They are rated to operate in temperates from -5 ° C to 50 ° C . As you ’ d expect , they each come with a remote control , allowing the user to select a number of different modes : heating ; cooling ; dry ; and sleep . The also have a built-in timer , allowing you to set it up so that the heating will come on at 6am , for example , so that the van is warm by the time you get out of bed .
Aside from the obvious quality of the build , which includes a UVstabilised cover ( so it shouldn ’ t fade in the sun , the way I have noticed some others do over time ), the Cool Top Trail series looks great and works well . Definitely worth considering when having your next van built . Further , Webasto will soon be launching the Cool Top Trail 28 , with a cooling capacity of 2.8kW and heating capacity of 2.6kW .
The filters on both units , I noticed , were very easy to remove for cleaning and snap back into place just as easily . Cleaning them requires no special agents or solutions – a bit of warm , soapy water will do the trick .
