We have 4 small dogs that always come out with us and on the odd occasion we will take the cat along.  On a number of occasions like when shopping we find it better to leave the dogs in the caravan with the Omnivent and a small fan running as it is reasonably
cool in the caravan.  Also plenty of water around for them.

IMHO this better than carting them around when shopping as even though the vehicle has air con, when you park it up, you have to switch off the air con.  Even if leaving the windows open, the vehicle still gets very warm after awhile.  Unfortunately I cannot
rush around a supermarket and it can easily take an hour in one shop to get most of our things.

We would probably go for a Dometic type?  The one issue that is bothering us is how often we woudl use it to justify the outlay.  I am led to believe that some air cons can pump out warm air in the cooler months.

As we are upgrading our caravan, we are wondering if it worth considering at a cost of about £1300 - £1400?
