All . . . . We are considering installing a bedroom air conditioner in our Cedar Creek. Is having a bedroom A/C worth the extra expense to have one put in? Does the front A/C make a real difference during the 90 degrees days? How often do you use your front A/C??thanks for the input. . . .. . . . Ken and Sue

in that size trailer yes it will help. but if want want a cheap way to get rid of a big heat soarce get some astrofoil and sandwhich in the shower soylight it will make ca huge diff

Unless you are setup for 50MPS SERVICE you will probably run into a problem running both air conditioners at same time. My 30 AMP Trailer already kicks my main breaker occasionally when I I have the A/C on and lots of other items and kick on the high wattage Microwave... If you are only using the 30AMP Service then if I was to hook up a second A/C unit I would wire it to an outside 120VAC receptacle and then plug it into the 20AMP SERVICE at the camp ground. Sometimes the camp grounds frown on folks using both the 30A and 20A service but we do it all time spreading out the power distribution when needed.Also where I would be able to install the bedroom air conditioner would put it directly above our bed and I can now reach up and touch the ceiling. Don't think I would like having the A/C unit just above us when we are sleeping????Other folks are using the portable installed air conditioners and venting the exhaust out the window. Might want to check into that as well...Parking in the shade certainly helps us with our roof mounted air conditioner...My thoughtsRoy Ken

In hot weather is certainly is worth it. Especially after a long day's drive and you need to cool down before bed time. But cooling down on such days is about the only time we do use it. Once it is cooled, the rear AC typically is all we need to run unless it is extremely hot.

A bedroom A/C can be noisy as well. Even my ducted A/C is loud enough to be distracting at times. Some of the portable A/Cs that vent out a window are surprisingly quiet.I wish someone can make a portable A/C with one duct going to the outside, another duct going elsewhere. That way, the bedroom door can be closed, deadening the noise from the A/C, while it keeps the area cool.

yes, get a second AC. you can run the one in the bedroom during the day and the one in the livingroom at night. a decent EMS will run both however.bumpy
