Dometic 3n1 absorbtion- what's realistic ?
Ours is in a 2006 Pleasure Way, we bought last year. On our recent trip we were generally on AC at night, DC while driving and propane while parked during the day. We rotated blue ice packs from f...

with the 2 fans exhausting ( side by each) mounted to the left side of the top vent I have managed to keep temps below 37º the past 24 hours.
Our ambient temps have dipped with a storm system moving through- but close to 100º most of the day- and no lower than 84º.
so I am getting cooling about 65º below ambient on AC- this is a slight improvement.
I have to look at the propane- It doesn;t seem to cool markedly better than the AC.
I have cleaned the vent and hanging baffle- there was not much in the way of carbon.
Next step will be to examine the jet and make sure it is correct size for our model and check the thermocouple.
...which I have just done- everything I looked at was clean, but i cleaned anyhow- the gas controls work as expected and the thermocouple put out 34mVDC...right within spec.
Fun little project.
We plan on heading out mid-week after everyone is back from their long week end
easy to do this while we are home, rather than scratching head in a campground.
