This is a 4 part question. I have a Columbus Palamino 5th wheel and went camping this week in Texas. The temperature was only 91, but I was in full sun. I have 2 A/C units. A 15,000 btu Ducted Air Conditioning - Living Room and a 13,500 btu Ducted Air Conditioning - Bedroom, but my trailer got up to 88 degrees inside. I even had the fan on and window shades down.
1.) Is this normal being in full sun?
2.) If I tinted the windows would it help alleviate the heat coming in?
3.) I’ve seen the awnings that go over the slides. Are those worth it to help keep the heat out?
4.) The trailer is a mid bunk. The 2nd bedroom got up to 95 degrees. There was barely any air coming out of the air vent. I took the cover off and felt around but did not feel any obstruction. Is this normal for a 2nd bedroom to not get good airflow?
Thanks - Jeff
Is this a new trailer? Have you run the AC's in the past with no issues? A little more info could help us help you.
Yes, I bought it 8 months ago. I took it out last month, but the temps were only in the low 80’s. The mid bunk are was still warm and never cooled off.
