AC in the heat

I was offered 3 15K AC's when ordering. I thought she was crazy until she asked when do AC's go out, I said when it's HOT. I had one go out in Palm Springs, CA on our last 07.5 MS it was not fun fixing it in hot weather. So I ordered 3 and it is really nice to set all 3 at 69-71 on low fan speed in near 100 degree weather and be very comfortable.

When returning to PS area for June it will be REALLY nice to have.

We bought rolls of quilted foil insulation at Home Depot and put that in our windshield and windows when we are in high temperature areas. Get the 4x10 rolls. Also if you have skylights and vents cover those too.

Foil backed bubble wrap insulation on the sunny side windows keeps us chilling in Texas. Home Depot or Lowe's. When not in use we roll it up and hide behind our theatre seats.

Awnings over every window and door. A rack full of solar panels on the roof--say 3 inches above the air conditioner shrouds. Double pane windows and beef up the (almost no) insulation with pour foam.

It is not that the existing system is too small--it is that the heat entering the RV is overwhelming what is there.

Buying a new rig won't solve the problem if you are staying in a state with high temps. :B

You have to start covering and insulating for it to be cooler inside.

I slip van size windshield sun shades under the day night shades on the side the sun is coming in. I put RV vent pillows inside all the roof vents, these vent covers are THE most important part of keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. You will be shocked of the difference when you put them inside the roof vent opening.

Put awning out and down in lowest position when sun is on the side. You can pick up 10 15 degrees just doing the above.

When I decided to stay in Florida during their sweltering summers I added black limo tint to the windows. THAT made a huge difference. I used the 'removable' limo tint from Walmart because I didn't want them permanently on the windows. I ended up leaving them on and they look like they were professional done and are going on 4 years now and look like the day I put it on.

Yup, the first time you stay in one of these southern state you have to get educated real quick on how to keep an RV cool. Because your ac can't do it alone without some help from you.

We have 2 15K BTU ducted Dometics in our rig and can hold 73 degrees inside on a 100 degree day. A lot has to do with the insulation properties of your rig (I would have thought a Cameo would be pretty decent), shade, etc. Our rig also has double pane insulated windows and MCD sun shades on the windows. I certainly would expect more than 10 to 12 degrees below ambient.
