IF ALL ELSE FAILS
If after doing all this and ensuring your generator has the capacity to run your air-conditioner and it still fails to work, there are three likely causes:
1. You have another appliance turned on, such as a hot water system, battery charger or other high-wattage device. Make sure you have all other 240V appliances switched off and try again.
2. You need a new electrical cord between the generator and your caravan. I highly recommend you purchase a new, high quality extension lead no longer than 10m.
The Truma Aventa air-conditioner is a popular unit because it is reliable and has low power consumption compared to some other units.
3. The generator has a higher specification than what it is actually capable of delivering. This is very common with many cheap‘ no-name’ brands. Remember the adage‘ you get what you pay for’.
In an isolated free camp like this, running a generator may be a good way to cool your caravan down without disturbing anyone.
