1. With the unit turned off while gone, it ran for 1 hour to cool down the RV once you returned home.
2. If you left it on but set at 82 degrees how long would it run while you were gone?
3. Once you returned home, how long would it run to cool the RV down to a comfortable level from 82 degrees?
4. If #2 + #3 is greater than #1, then it is cheaper to turn it off and start it up upon return home.
I suspect the unit will run longer than a total of 1 hour while you are gone plus the time it takes to cool down after you return home.
