Running the A/C While on the Road?

...Is there a curtain or something you can pull behind the cab in a Class C that would keep the A/C from having to cool the entire vehicle.

I bought a $9 Harbor Freight moving blanket/pad http://www.harborfreight.com/72-in-x-80-in-moving-blanket-69505.html, some HF grommets http://www.harborfreight.com/103-piece-1-2-half-inch-grommet-installation-kit-30037.html, and some light 2" S-hooks and made a curtain that hangs side-to-side on the front wall of the "house". It works well with heating and cooling while driving and works well for privacy at night.

PM me with your Email address if you want more details and/or some pix.

Yes most run the house A/C units. That's one of the reasons why you have a generator!

My Class C Minnie Winnie came with a curtain. We have used it occasionally while driving, either for containing the heat or the cooling.

My Chevy keeps it plenty cool up front but if it is really hot I will crank up the generator and put the A/C on to cool the rest of the rig.

That way when I get to my destination it is already cool back there and I don't have to try to cool it down, once the house gets hot it is really hard to get them to cool down.

Welcome to the forum.

It is common to run the generator and A/C while driving. It will not hurt anything.

Some will hang a curtain behind the cab to keep the cool or heated air in the cab while using the dash air or heat.

Enjoy your travels.
