At South Central Conversions, we supply and professionally install habitation air conditioning systems for campervans, motorhomes, race transporters and HGV horseboxes from our Berkshire workshop.
Whether you're planning summer trips, travelling in warmer climates or simply looking to make your vehicle more comfortable, a properly specified habitation air conditioning system can make a significant difference.
We offer suitable roof-mounted and under-bench air conditioning solutions, along with replacement installations and electrical system upgrades where required.
Every installation is planned around your vehicle's available space, cooling requirements, roof construction and electrical supply.
We can also assess compatible inverter, lithium battery and mains hook-up arrangements for customers who want additional flexibility when using their air conditioning.
Our service focuses on habitation and living-area air conditioning, not the vehicle's engine-driven dashboard or cab air conditioning system.

Professional Supply & Installation
Carefully specified roof-mounted or under-bench systems professionally supplied and fitted, with attention to positioning, weather sealing and interior finishing.

Advice on suitable mains hook-up, inverter, lithium battery and charging arrangements to support the air conditioning system's power requirements.
Our Campervan & Motorhome Air Conditioning Services
Habitation Air Conditioning Installation
We supply and install suitable habitation air conditioning systems for campervans, motorhomes and specialist converted vehicles.
Our installations are designed around the size of your vehicle, available installation space, electrical supply and intended use.
We can advise on suitable equipment to provide comfortable living conditions while parked or staying on a campsite.
Roof-Mounted Air Conditioning
Roof-mounted systems are a popular option for campervans and motorhomes, providing cooling without taking up valuable cupboard or floor space.
We can assess suitable roof positions, existing roof vents, structural requirements and the compatibility of the selected air conditioning unit.
Each installation includes appropriate mounting, weather sealing and electrical integration.
Under-Bench Air Conditioning Systems
Where a roof-mounted system is unsuitable or additional roof space needs to be preserved, an under-bench air conditioning unit may be an alternative.
These systems require suitable internal space, ducting arrangements and external ventilation provisions.
We can assess available options for compatible vehicles.
Motorhome Air Conditioning Replacement
Already have a habitation air conditioning system that's outdated, inefficient or no longer working?
We can assess compatible replacement options, taking into account the existing installation, roof opening, wiring and available power supply.
Depending on the system, replacement may involve additional adaptation or electrical work.
Air Conditioning for Campervans & Day Vans
We can advise on suitable habitation cooling solutions for campervans and day vans.
Available roof space, pop-top roof configurations, electrical capacity and interior layout all affect which systems can be installed.
We assess these factors before recommending equipment.
Race Transporter & Horsebox Air Conditioning
Larger specialist vehicles often have different cooling and electrical requirements from conventional campervans.
We can discuss suitable habitation air conditioning solutions for race transporters, HGV horseboxes and larger converted vehicles, including compatible 12V, 24V and 230V power arrangements where applicable.
230V Mains Hook-Up Air Conditioning
Many habitation air conditioning units are designed to operate from a suitable 230V electrical supply.
We can assess your vehicle's existing mains hook-up installation, electrical distribution and protection before recommending a suitable unit.
The air conditioner's operating and starting requirements must be compatible with the available supply.
Lithium Batteries & Inverter Integration
Want to operate air conditioning without relying entirely on mains hook-up?
Certain air conditioning systems may be suitable for use with a properly designed lithium battery and inverter installation.
We can assess power consumption, inverter capacity, battery storage, cabling and charging equipment to determine whether a practical off-grid solution is possible.
Actual operating time depends on the air conditioning load, battery capacity, ambient conditions and other electrical usage.
Electrical Upgrades for Air Conditioning
Installing air conditioning can place additional demand on your vehicle's electrical system.
We can assess and upgrade suitable electrical components, including inverter systems, battery capacity, charging arrangements and associated protection where required.
Habitation Air Conditioning Fault Assessment
If your existing habitation air conditioning is not operating correctly, we can assess supported systems and investigate accessible electrical or control-related faults.
Where refrigerant-circuit work or regulated specialist procedures are needed, appropriate qualified personnel and equipment are required. We can advise on the next steps rather than promise repairs to every unit.
Air Conditioning as Part of a Full Conversion
For customers planning a new campervan, motorhome or specialist vehicle conversion, we can incorporate suitable air conditioning equipment into the overall electrical and interior design.
Planning the system early can help with equipment positioning, roof space, electrical capacity and a cleaner finished installation.

Request an Air Conditioning QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Can you install air conditioning in my campervan or motorhome?
Yes. We supply and install suitable habitation air conditioning systems for compatible campervans, motorhomes and specialist vehicles. We'll assess the available space, vehicle construction and electrical supply before recommending equipment.
Do you install roof-mounted air conditioning?
Yes. We can supply and fit suitable roof-mounted habitation air conditioning units, subject to roof space, structural suitability and the manufacturer's installation requirements.
Can air conditioning work from my leisure batteries?
Some systems may be operated from a correctly designed battery and inverter installation. However, air conditioning can consume significant power, so battery capacity, inverter capability, charging arrangements and expected operating time must be carefully assessed.
How long can I run air conditioning from lithium batteries?
Operating time depends on the air conditioner's actual electrical consumption, battery capacity, inverter losses, outside temperature and other electrical loads. We can calculate an estimated runtime for a proposed system.
Do I need a 230V mains hook-up?
Many habitation air conditioning systems are designed for a suitable 230V supply. Some installations can also use compatible inverter or dedicated DC equipment, depending on the system. We'll explain the available options for your vehicle.
Can you replace my existing motorhome air conditioning unit?
Yes, we can assess compatible replacements for existing habitation air conditioning systems. Suitability depends on the current equipment, roof opening, electrical supply and mounting arrangement.
Do you install air conditioning in race transporters and HGV horseboxes?
Yes. We can assess suitable habitation air conditioning installations for race transporters, HGV horseboxes and larger converted vehicles, including their available electrical systems.
Can you repair or re-gas my existing air conditioning system?
We can assess supported habitation systems and investigate compatible electrical or control-related faults. Refrigerant-circuit servicing and repairs require appropriate specialist qualifications and equipment, so we would confirm whether this work can be offered before accepting the job.
Do you install vehicle dashboard or cab air conditioning?
No. South Central Conversions specialises in habitation and living-area air conditioning for campervans, motorhomes and specialist converted vehicles, rather than engine-driven cab air conditioning.
