Can I run an air conditioner in my camper van?

Yes, you can run an air conditioner in your camper van with proper power considerations. Traditional rooftop units require shore power or a strong generator. Mini-split systems need a robust electrical setup, while portable 12V units provide flexibility but limited cooling. Ensure sufficient insulation for efficiency, as most systems are practical only with shore power or while driving.
