It can also be noisy - especially for your neighbours! We just sleep with the rooflights, and possibly a window open, and have a fan opposite us at the foot of the bed. IF we were doing a lot of 'hot weather' (abroad camping), i may possibly look at it. But it think its something to spend money on when you have run out of other ideas, for the UK.
No idea what a 'tyrepal' is. But if its something to tell you that you have a flat tyre, you shouldnt really be driving, if the 'feel' of the outfit doesnt tell you this already. Another gizmo to spend money on when you dont have to!
We have air con and even at full blast you can hardly hear it when sitting outside so chances of neighbours hearing it are very low. Anyway why run an air con at full blast when you can set it to about 20C and the thermostat switches it on and off as required. At night we have it on low and have no issue sleeping as it is definitely not noisy.
As for your remark regarding having a flat tyre you are way off beam. If you have a twin axle and have a puncture in one of the tyres there is no way that you will know. Even on a single axle it would be hard to discern a slow puncture until the tyre blows at which point you will know that you have an issue. A Tyrepal would advise you that the tyre is below pressure so that you can react and resolve any issue before the tyre blows.
You've obviously got better kit than the £90k motorhome that rolled up next to us. I thought - and asked him, whether his engine fan was kicking in 2 hours after he arrived. He said it was his air-con, that they dont use at night because it keeps them awake. Again, not really needed in the UK unless you have lots of spare cash to lose.
Tyrepal??? How did we manage before? I don't recall the roads littered with vehicles or caravans back in the day. Again, if you've nothing better to spend your money on. Is there a gadget that tells you your wheel-nuts are coming loose. Or steering rack about to let go? See what im getting at? Where do you stop - short of giving up driving.
