Buying an air conditioner isn't enough – installation is key

A parking cooler only works reliably if it is compatible with the vehicle, the electrical system, and the actual usage. If the system is incorrectly sized or installed without sufficient battery capacity, it won't cool all night – it will only cool until the battery is dead. That's why at CAR-ELECTRIC, we always offer the air conditioner and installation as a package.

Bergstrom is a specialized manufacturer from the commercial vehicle sector – robust technology for continuous operation, not a mass-market product. We know these systems inside out, install them regularly, and understand what's important for roof cutouts, cable routing, and fusing. This ensures performance, runtime, and reliability from day one.

The models: OpenAir & OpenAir PLUS

Both are 12V roof-mounted air conditioners for recreational vehicles up to 7 m in length and share the same compact outdoor unit. During our consultation, we will find the model that suits your vehicle and your usage profile together.

What makes the difference

We don't sell air conditioners – we install them. The difference sounds small, but it's not. If you buy a unit and install it yourself or have it installed, you bear the risk of incorrect design alone. We take overall responsibility for consultation, planning, and installation.

Power supply is not an afterthought. An air conditioner needs power – reliably, for hours. We plan the lithium battery, charge controller, and solar from the outset, tailored to your actual cooling needs.

We know Bergstrom. We are an installation partner, not a resale channel. This means we work regularly with these systems, know the peculiarities of installation, and can continue to help you after installation.

Frequently asked questions

Can we only buy the air conditioner, without installation?

We generally offer the systems in combination with our installation service. This is the only way we can ensure that the system is correctly installed and matched to your vehicle. Just contact us – together we will find the best solution for you.

What is the difference between OpenAir and OpenAir PLUS?

Both are 12V roof-mounted air conditioners for vehicles up to 7 m in length with the same compact outdoor unit. The OpenAir PLUS is the newer generation: it consumes significantly less power on average (around 10 A instead of 14.2 A), uses the environmentally friendly R-1234yf refrigerant, has a remote control with display plus app control (Bluetooth, iOS/Android), RGB ambient lighting, and new electric air diffusers. We will find the right model for your application during our consultation.

How long does the air conditioner run on battery power?

That depends on the cooling capacity, outside temperature, and your battery capacity. We dimension the battery and, if necessary, the solar system so that the desired runtime – for example, an entire night – is realistically achieved. This is part of our planning before we order anything.

Can the system be retrofitted?

In many cases, yes. This depends on the vehicle, available space, and electrical system. Send us some details about your vehicle – we will check the possibilities and get back to you with an honest assessment.

Which vehicles is the system suitable for?

For motorhomes, converted campers and panel vans, transporters, and special vehicles. We select the appropriate model depending on vehicle size and application.

How much does the installation package cost?

The price depends on the model, required power supply, and installation effort. We will provide you with a transparent offer – just ask, no obligation.
