When the van aircon quits in the Top End

Rooftop units work hard up here. A van parked in the Darwin sun heats up fast, and the aircon is often the only thing making it liveable. Dust from the road clogs the filters, and the humidity loads the unit with water it has to drain off the roof.

When something goes wrong, it usually shows up one of three ways. Water drips through the ceiling vent. The unit runs but blows warm. Or it trips the power on the van or the park's supply. We look at all three. Most travellers would rather have it fixed in Darwin than limp on to the next town.

Dometic rooftop air conditioner on a caravan roof — rooftop aircon repairs

Caravan air conditioning work we do in Darwin

Caravan aircon repairs
We find and fix faults in rooftop caravan and RV air conditioners: units leaking water into the van, units not cooling, noisy fans and units that trip the power. Because Sean is an electrician as well as a refrigeration tech, we check the van's wiring and power supply, not just the unit.
Leaking roof units
Water inside the van is a common call. It usually comes from a blocked drain path, a tired roof seal or a gasket that has dropped. We find the cause and fix it before the next downpour.
Servicing and filter cleaning
A service cleans the filters, coil and drain path and checks the unit is cooling the way it should. We also show you how to clean the filters yourself between services, which makes a real difference on dusty roads.
Supply and install
We supply and install caravan air conditioners, including Dometic FreshJet units. We help you pick a unit that suits your van and how you travel, then fit it, wire it and test it.
Replacements
If an old unit is not worth fixing, we tell you and quote a replacement. No hard sell either way.

For aircon trouble at home rather than on the road, see our air conditioning repairs page.

Why travellers call Fosters for caravan A/C in Darwin

Help for travellers passing through
Belinda was travelling around Australia when the van's aircon started leaking water inside. She was told to give Fosters a ring. Sean fixed it and showed her how to clean the filters.
One person checks the unit and the power
Sean holds a refrigerant handling licence (L110234) and an electrical licence (A25961), and we hold NT Electrical Contractor Licence C4763. Caravan aircon faults can be electrical, so that matters.
Dometic units supplied and fitted
We supply and fit Dometic caravan air conditioners, so the same team quotes the replacement, fits it and wires it.
Straight answers
Julie summed it up: "Prompt and very helpful. Responsive and honest."

Frequently asked questions

Does Fosters repair caravan air conditioners in Darwin?

Yes. Fosters Air Conditioning & Electrical repairs rooftop caravan and RV air conditioners in Darwin, including units that leak water, blow warm, make noise or trip the power. Call or text 0473 639 372 and tell us where the van is parked.

Why is my caravan aircon leaking water inside the van?

Most leaks come from a blocked drain path, a worn roof seal or a gasket that has dropped out of place. Darwin's humidity makes the unit pull a lot of water out of the air, so a small blockage shows up fast. We find the cause and fix it.

Why is my caravan aircon running but not getting cold?

Dirty filters and a clogged coil are the usual causes, especially after dusty roads. It can also be a refrigerant or electrical fault, or low voltage from the park supply. A service and a few tests will tell us which.

Do you supply and install Dometic caravan air conditioners?

Yes. We supply and install Dometic caravan air conditioners, including FreshJet units, and other rooftop units. We help you choose a unit that suits your van, then fit, wire and test it.

Can you look at my van where it is parked?

Call or text 0473 639 372 with where the van is and your dates, and we will talk through the options.

How do I clean my caravan aircon filters?

Turn the unit off, remove the ceiling grille, slide out the filters and rinse them in clean water. Let them dry fully before you refit them. On dusty roads, check them every week or two. We are happy to show you on your unit.
