Need some feedback on closing off the cab with a curtain so that during travel your not cooling or heating the complete motorhome. Seems like the heater and airconditioner would not have to work so hard. It would also heat or cool a smaller space. Any ideas?

Not sure about a Class A, but we do that in our Class C and use some inexpensive thermal curtains behind the drivers compartment and it helps keep the hot/cool in the cab. I think it also help keep the heat from the windshield and dog house from getting back into the motorhome which keeps the whole unit cooler.Hope this helps.

I assume you don't run your gen set and your ducted AC thus keeping the entire coach cool?

Thanks jhlady. Glad to hear that it works. I wonder how marine grade material will work.Did you need to cut them to fit?

Effy Is that what most do? Why would you need to keep the whole rv cool or heated. Help!!!!!

It seems the people with the entry level MHs have that problem much more than those with high quality RVs. When I had my Mountain Aire I didn't have a problem. If it was over 95F I would run the generator & roof air but below that the dash air worked fine.

This is the first full summer that I've owned my coach and for every trip we've taken (even just to the shop for service), I've run the gen-set and the front ducted A/C. It keeps the DW and I comfortable and the coach is already cool when we stop. Plus, it gives the gen-set a good workout. Haven't really noticed a significant loss of fuel mileage either....maybe 0.5-1mpg less or so.
