Why do People run AC with doors and windows open??

very entertaining thread.some of you guys would probably die if you had to sleep in a tent overnight.

Surprise, surprise, it does not keep the refrigerator cooler by leaving the door open either.

RVers going round and round about being wasteful. Carry on, the entertainment is excellent. :)

Sometime I have the A/C going and the vent fan turned on in the bathroom at the same time. It just seems to help with the cooling.

We can waste all we want, someone else will pay for it. Won't they? Looks like a couple of people have gotten defensive about being called out for the practice. We have unlimited, clean, free energy available to all. Let's see how much we can use before the other guy gets to it.

I find it just a teeny bit hypocritical that folks that drive huge,lumbering, Fuel Guzzling vehicles, like many of us do, that spew tons of exhaust into the air and cannot be called efficient by anyones standard, wax so eloquent on the terrible, criminal wastefulness of a fellow "camper" using their aircon with a window open.

Oh! the wasting of the precious non renewable resources!

You,d be far better off taking GSE to task for the tons of unwanted junk mail they produce and send out.

People in Glass Houses...?

C'mon.

Yes^^^^^^^

Running just the fan doesn't cause condensation to run from under the air conditioner shroud and drip from the roof of the RV.

So you actually are that worried about it that you watch to see if water is dripping from one of the corners of an RV?

Wow, some of you people really need to get a hobby and mind your own business. Everyone once in a while the grumpiness and miserableness just ooze from this site.

No, I'm not worried in the least bit. I merely answered the question that We Cant Wait asked. An observation from running my own air conditioner. :R

Sheesh, it doesn't take anything at all to set you off.:S

Relax and enjoy life! ;)

If it is yours and you pay for it or maintain it, You tend to be respectful CLOSE THE DOOR type respectful

But if it's rented well.. It's not your problem.. If you are not paying for it, Who cares? Don't worry about it.


Fact is the person who cares is the next person since the rates may go up to clean up your mess or pay your bills.

I was in a campground once where I got very low water pressure.. Reported to office.. Turns out someone unhooked and left the spigot open running freely.

Same mind set.. All I can say (this is one fine curse by the way) is may they receive their eternal reward

(It is a fine curse because in the due course of time they WILL receive said reward and even more so because if you misdirect it against someone that is good it automatically turns into a blessing as GOD decides who gets wich)

Don't know but I do notice that many younger people will just run AC all of the time even if outside temp is cool. Either they just don't think about it or don't really care if they save $10 or $20 a month or don't have a clue how much it cost to run. Most of us seniors were raised to save whenever possible.
