Ceiling AC -- any mods to direct the cold air?

If it's a Coleman, the lovers that adjust up/down & left/right should also swivel all the way down to the closed position. Doing so stops the air blowing where you don't want, and increases the air coming out the other vents.

Oh I KNEW someone would have solved this! Off to Home Depot now....

Look for an item called a "diverter". These go over the register and devert's the air flow. Ususlly held on by magnets, but you can probably modify one to attach to the ac unit. Their usually made of clear plastic, and are adjustable. Use some velcro on the deverter and the ac unit to attach it so it's removable during the day.

I did this to both of our AC's and it works great. Removing the front AC cover I actually cut an area out that allows one of the plastic arched diverters to hit the metal frame and is held in place with the magnets and a small strip of clear duct tape on the rear which makes a hinge so I can actually pull it gently till the magnets let loose and the register then directs air a bit lower.

The rear AC register was changed even more dramatically when the register just did not work as well because it blows air on the temp sensor and would not run long before cycling off.

We live in our rv so comfort is important. Using duct tape, expanding foam, and the largest pvc pipe that would fit inside the register hole that had been previously removed for the plastic thing to fit in, I inserted the pipe and held it in place with tape. Then filled the hole with expanding foam. Once dry a simple elbow piece you can get in various angles is simply pressed on the end. You can redirect the air in any direction now.

Ummmm, no! She who buys the TT gets the nice mattress/bed. LOL!

I bought some clear Acrylic sheet from HD that was about 1/8" thick and cut and bent to the shape I wanted then attached to the A/C unit to deflect the cold air from hitting me in bed and it works great. Don't even really see it. :)

May not look beautiful but you could remove the louvres and make some out of coroplast (get it at a office supply/art & crafts store) with fins that direct the air to one side. A hot melt glue gun could be used to stick it together.
