swamp cooler
Hi all, I purchased a swamp cooler and today ran it for the first time. The RV had been sitting in sun all day long with the fantastic fan on high, with the rear roof vent open. Temperature outs...

Hi Phil and Rick,
I am urban docking without a generator because a weld failed.
It appears I can be comfortable up to 32 C (90 f) with the swamp cooler blowing on me.
It seemed to work best when I left the roof vents open with the fantastic fan on high. It was much more comfortable that just a fan.
Humidity today was 55%.
I'm now parked at a friends home who does have a 50 amp plug so tomorrow, I'll be using the swamp cooler in conjunction with the air conditioner to see if it helps in the cooling process. Humidity in the RV is 33% and temperature is 28.5 c (83.3 f). The air has been on for about one hour and the RV started at 31 c (87.8 c). The high for the day was
27 C (80.6)
I've had to add the autoformer to support the voltage.

Don ... I'm scratching my head a bit.
Why are you trying to use a swamp cooler in Canada? Isn't average humidity there on the high side for efficient use of one?
(Or are you somewhere else trying to use it?)
