Vanbitz did a great job for me fitting a roof top aircon unit (Kronings). It was £1650 a couple of years ago.

There was already an opening for a fan which was replaced, I don't know whether they had to make it larger or not. Kronings is the make, they were reduced so maybe they have sold them off now. I seem to remember Dometic units were in short supply at the time. It's not a bad unit, a bit noisy on start up but soon settles down. Cools the van well if put on early in the day and blinds and windows closed. Also has a heating element which serves as a useful backup should the Alde fail.
I think he may be away on holiday but I’m sure he will get back to you. He’s based in Stockport so not that far away from you.

spoke to him ,,thanks
My Bergstrom Open Air full inverter 12V was installed in the space of the skylight in the hab, no need for any extra cutting. Works really well but you do need plenty of battery power.
Yes, on the roof is certainly the best place to have it fitted.

We have a Dometic Freshjet 2200. We have 700 watts of solar a Victron 12/2000/80 inverter charger, we can run the aircon for several hours if the sun is up. (Sun /heat/ solar) as long as you don’t try and turn the van into a fridge. We have a 7.5 mtr A class but had it installed in the rear bedroom with the vents pointing to the lounge. It’s quite noisy in operation so this way during the day it’s not intrusive and we close the bedroom door for a while before going to bed so it’s nice and cool. We thought if it was in the lounge skylight it would make the area dark, as when we bought the van the one that lets the light through was not available. We can also run it when driving via our 150 amp alternator been using it for nearly 5 years no problems 2 x 100 amp lithium and heavy cabling. R V installation north Devon excellent job.
Try Rhinoinstalls at Preston, not too far from you. They will cut the roof, but will want to see the van first.
