About the Kookaburra

The Kookaburra is the most powerful roof-top A/C unit available in Australia. Designed to fit in the sun-roof or a custom-made penetration, it can cool the whole cab or just the bunk depending on installation. The Kookaburra combines the condenser, compressor and evaporator into a single, streamlined unit, saving space.

Custom-made facias allow for a refined look that blends in with the OEM trim.
