It's carbon dioxide. Not toxic, but I wouldn't want to fill a small enclosed space with it. A small cooler full of dry ice will turn into gas of about the same volume as the air in the trailer.

Maybe not. There are a lot of things one can carry "just in case it's needed", but most of them don't cost as much or weigh as much as an air conditioner. If it really were never going to be used, I...

It does make sense to me to have a roof vent over a bunk loft, and it also makes sense to use it as an escape hatch, especially in RVs (such as truck campers and the Escape 5.0/5.0TA) which have a...

Interesting - I had not heard of a DC "outside" unit before. That would have the advantage of not needing an inverter, but would need to run from a converter when AC power is available. It does look...

The point is that the information is not just applicable to the Dometic system. Any battery-powered A/C system would have similar energy requirements, and the resulting large battery bank. This is...

Not unless it's a very recent standard. Neither our 2002 trailer nor our 2010 motorhome (built in the U.S., so compliant with U.S. and Canadian standards) has a roof hatch.


That makes some...

I think anyone considering battery-powered air conditioning should look at one document from Dometic, whether or not they are interested in a system sold by Dometic:

I can believe an escape hatch is required, but I'm sure it is not required to be in the roof. Could an adequately large escape window be fit in one side of the sleeping loft area?

A useful air conditioner would need about ten times the cooling capacity of an RV refrigerator, so if it used the same design it woukd be very bulky and likely problematic. It would still need...
