13500 btu versus 15000 btu

Hello all,

Still looking at the different B's and comparing. I live in Southern Texas and summers can be brutal. Still work full time and I can not "get away" to the mountains on a weekend trip, too far. So, the r/v staying semi cool, is important.

I did notice some r/v's have 13500btu's(most)and some have 15000btu's Does that make a difference in the temp in the vehicle or is it negligible?


Thanks
Class B

    Definitely the 15000 if you have the choice. When we read people complaining about their AC, it is people in the SW heat with a smaller unit. In fact, LTV has now switched to 15000 units for that very reason, but only in their small C units. Their B's still get 11000 ac units. I checked Roadtrek and Pleasureway sites and they seem to only use 10-11000 units too.

    So, I am not sure what B's you are seeing with 13500 or 15000 ACs.

    Probably depends on the size of the B.
    In warm climates I would go with the big one.
