Heating & Cooling
Diesel heaters, gas blown air, compressor fridges and roof ventilation.
Heating decides whether your season is four months or twelve. Diesel air heaters have become the default for conversions: cheap to run, independent of gas bottles.
Cooling matters more than British owners expect. A reflective screen set and a decent roof vent do more than any fan.
