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

X2 on MAYBE it's just the fan on to help circulate air thru the unit? How can you tell for sure, you can't hear the compressor run from outside the unit.

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

Wasteful use of electricity when not on electric meters just raises the camping fees for the rest of us.

How do you know the ac is on versus just the fan? I run my rooftop fan often with the windows open, it moves a lot of air.

Not sure why people leave doors open when running AC units but if you figure out how to stop them let me know so I can tell my kids.

My friend built a 50 site RV park.

Installed digital meters on each power pedestal.

For 2 reasons....
Any/all sites could be used for monthly/long term where RVr pays for electric
Can check daily usage and charge for excessive daily use (or have proof when he asks them to leave due to their excessive usage)


Never have been able to understand how folks justify their actions that they wouldn't do at home/to their own stuff

Just paid my bi-monthly electric bill. 147 kWh. 74 per month. Eleven dollars eighty eight cents total. 22 gallons of butane lasts me 13-months. And I ate out 5-times in the last year. I cook at home. I cannot help but feel a lot of RVers up there have lost touch with reality.

It may seem selfish or wasteful but I usually only have the main screen door latched and no other windows open. I still need to go in and out and it also allows a lot of light in during the day.

When you come to our camp, we will charge you an extra daily fee.
You waste a non renewable resource, and force us to pass on the cost to other guests. Do you do this in your home?
Sask Power is primarily coal fired generated, as I remember from working at Coronach and Estevan
