Latest News from Aircommand

Sparrow in Cape York

The Gall Boys from Kedron Caravans in Queensland have just returned from their near annual outback adventure all captured on video for their latest DVD. The Gall Boys have become synonymous with their 8 previously released DVDs of their crazy family adventures to the most rugged places Australia has to offer. Their latest adventure takes them to Cape York and the DVD is due for release in April 2012.

The Sparrow from Aircommand was the preferred choice of air conditioner for the 16' Kedron van that was put to the test by the Gall Boys and it performed exceptionally well in the summer heat. According to Glen Gall The Air Con went a treat, was faultless (running on the Honda EU20i), and a great testament to the Sparrows performance and reliability up there in the varying conditions

The Sparrow is an Australian made low profile 2.2kw reverse cycle Air conditioner suitable for small vans or pop tops up to approximately 17'. It is fully featured with LED display, remote control and the unique electronic defrost to allow the unit to operate in temperatures as low as minus 5 degs.

Sparrow Roof Top Air Conditioner

Aircommand introduced the Sparrow Roof top air conditioner into our range approximately 12 months ago due to market demand for the small caravans.

The physical size and weight of the Sparrow has attracted many customers but unfortunately some customers are overloading the units by using them outside of our recommendations and yet still expecting the performance of the larger standard units

Aircommand recommend the Sparrow Roof Top air conditioner for “fully insulated” full height caravans upto 16’ in length. This recommended size would be greatly reduced when used in a pop top caravan or uninsulated caravan.

Our recommended air conditioner for pop tops is the Heron split system units available in 2 sizes to suit vans up to 22’. Further info is available at www.aircommand.com.au/product.php?product=heron-2.2 or www.aircommand.com.au/product.php?product=heron-q
