Air conditioning in motorhomes: 4 modern techniques improve off-grid cooling

Promobil magazine described four technologies that allow air conditioning in a motorhome to operate without shore power. Key components: a powerful inverter (with priority switching circuit), a lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) with at least 300 Ah capacity, an inverter air conditioner with a variable-speed compressor, and Dometic's N-Bus management system. The new Dometic FJZ7 in Smart Eco mode can run from battery for up to 6.5 hours, and the system automatically reduces power as charge drops, preventing a complete shutdown.

Motorhome as mobile meeting and support space

In Switzerland, the 'Rencar' project has been launched — a motorhome converted into a mobile meeting and counseling point for marginalized groups. The initiative started on March 1, 2012, in the cantons of Jura and Bernese Jura. The motorhome will operate six days a week, parking at hospitals, prisons, and public spaces. The project is funded by the church community but does not involve religious proselytism.
