30 ft- one roof air sufficient?

Before I bought, I rented a 29 foot class C in the summer. We went to Vegas and it was 112 out. That one unit was not even close to keeping up. But then again, I'm not sure two units could have kept up with that kind of heat.

I have a 31ft class A with one air, Wish it had two. If temp gets above 90 one air doesn't keep up very well.

We have a 29 ft with two air conditioners and if the temperature get over 100 They have a hard time keeping it 72 inside. So I would say no to one if I have any idea of spending time in the south in summer. Tha is my opinion. Alvin

We have a 1995 33' Bounder that will cool well with one 13,500 BTU, non-ducted, A/C in the summer heat of the SW. But we have dual pane windows, window awnings and a patio awning. So it is possible with one A/C but it needs every advantage. Those that say it won't work are clueless.

This isn't going to be helpful, but my answer is, "It Depends". It will depend on where you camp and how well the coach is insulated. My last fifth wheel had one A/C unit and it did well, even in full sun in Florida. I purchased a new coach that was about five feet longer and had two more slides than the first one and elected not to get a second AC unit.

Our first summer trip was to a campground in the Florida Panhandle. We were in full sun and it was close to 100 degrees. When I set the coach up, the interior temperature pegged the thermometer. We left and went to dinner and were gone more than an hour. When we returned the thermometer was still almost pegged. The coach didn't cool off enough for the AC to cycle until around 5:00 a.am. the next morning.

The AC could only keep the coach about 15-20 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. We purchased a second AC unit as soon as we got back home. I don't usually use both, but it's nice to have it available when it gets really hot.

NO,NO,and NO! One AC will not work! Especially south of I-80! Maybe I-90!
Especially this summer.it has been hot clear into MT.
I would not accept any thing less than 50 amp and two,airs.
We have three 13.5's and here in N. TX. They are borderline.
40' Winnebago 40U . IMHO.

It depends. If you don't mind inside temps around 80 in the summer heat of the south then 1 unit may be fine. I had a 30 footer. I added an additional AC and converted to 50 amp. One unit did not cut it.

Mr. Maddawg46,

I agree with most here that it's really pushing the cooling with just one air.

But, don't be discouraged. You can buy a portable stand alone air unit for those sunny no shade days. If everything else is good with the unit, you still have options of staying cool that really won't cost that much.

Even if the one unit is sufficient, I would still want two units as Murphy's Law will guarantee that the ONE will go out when you need it most.

Good luck,
MM.

Listen to dougrainer, I think 13500 btu a little small myself. A buddy of mine who had owned several rv's before I bought one told me to make sure whatever I bought ,that it had two ac,s in it. I did what he said and have not regretted it . I am 33 feet. Use it in Texas .

I have a 33 foot mh with 1 a/c. We camped for 2 months in Branson Mo in July and August where temps rarely went below 100 in July and finally dropped into the 80's in August. We were quite comfortable during that time. Fortunately, we were in the shade most of the day.
