Black Air Conditioner Shroud
The shroud that came with my "salvage" Coleman Mach AC was cracked in a couple of places. I put a couple layers of fiberglass cloth in as a repair, but the dingy flimsy shroud perched on top of my camper is bothering my low grade OCD. I s'pose I could paint it but it would still be patched together.
A new white shroud is more than I spent on the whole AC unit. However, I have found a source for a black shroud at a much lower cost. Still more than I paid for the unit, but it's one of those solid MaxxAir shrouds that will take a mortar shell.
The black would be a neat accent, as it matches the truck.
Will the black shroud cause a major problem with heat absorption? Am I going to turn the camper into an oven with this thing on the roof?
