Portable air conditioning is normally the lowest-cost route
A portable unit avoids the outdoor condenser, refrigerant pipework and full fixed-system installation. The equipment itself is usually the largest part of the cost if it can use a temporary exhaust arrangement.
If you want a permanent through-wall exhaust outlet, allow for the wall construction, external termination and making the route neat as well as the air conditioner itself.
A fixed split system costs more because the installation is more involved
A fixed system needs indoor and outdoor equipment, pipework, condensate drainage, electrical provision, mounting and commissioning. Access and the distance between the units also affect labour and materials.
The park may also specify where the condenser can sit or how services must be finished, which can change the installation detail.
Electrical work can change the quote
The existing caravan circuits and pitch supply need to support the proposed equipment. If additional electrical work is required, that should be identified before the system is ordered rather than treated as a surprise on installation day.
Park rules can affect which option is possible
A cheaper equipment choice is not useful if the park will not allow the required exhaust outlet or outdoor unit. Confirming the site rules early avoids spending money on the wrong solution.
What to send for a useful quote
Send the holiday park name or postcode, approximate caravan dimensions, which room gets too hot and photos of the room, windows and likely exhaust or outdoor-unit area.
That gives us enough information to start narrowing down the sensible route before arranging anything more involved.
