Looking to purchase my first either a 2015 -2018 expanda 16 or 17 and want to know how good or not the roof top aircon units are.
Mainly for cooling as for heating I can arrange something alternative

HI Hardman,

It depends on what style of Expand-ing you plan on doing - for bush camping they're of limited use due to the need for a 3kVa generator (they're usually too much for a 2kVA). For powered sites they're ok for all seasons except for cold winters due to the associated condensation build up due to the inside/outside temperature difference. The aircon does struggle when it's 40degC+ outside.

Cheers,
RickO
