Do you run house AC while on the road
I am contemplating the purchase of a motor home... class A or Super C. I currently pull a 31’ trailer and am looking to consolidate the living and driving into 1 vehicle, adding conveniences like auto...

I guess neither of my motorhomes listened to the experts, both can stay more than cool enough with just the dash A/C.
Mind you, I do understand their limitations and help them a little. Don’t try to block of the cab, that makes it worse, open the rearmost roof vent.
The weak part of dash A/C is not the cooling capacity, a Ford dash unit has more than double the cooling capacity of a rooftop unit, it’s the fan, it’s horrendously undersized.
By opening the rearmost roof vent you create a vacuum at the back of the coach which pulls the cold air to the rear for you.
Yes factory AC will be better than the dash AC put in class A’s. But a class C is smaller and has a small driving area so yes it will feel cooler. Now.......
A class A down south in 90+ degree weather will laugh at any dash AC! And if you have kids or a wife/husband in the back you will need to run the generator and house AC.
