A/C's in Hybrid Extendable Travel Trailers

Some pointers for making your a/c keep your family cooler. Just about all a/c's are designed to pull the temp down 18 - 20 degrees from outside air temperatures. An example would be if the outside air temperature is 76 degrees with humidity around 54 % , then the a/c will take the internal camper temp down to approximately 58 degrees, if the humidity is higher, then the ability of the a/c to work more efficiently decreases if your thermostat set point is at 58 degrees. The higher the humidity the more the a/c struggles to pull moisture out of the air. If you are parked where there is no shade, then I would leave the cooling to the evening hours. Shade is your friend obviously , near the ocean or bay, or harbor where cool breezes will help your machine. Reflective covers over your canvas ends help as well. My hybrid is ducted, so my thermal loss is negligent over a conventional a/c direct ventilation configuration. Another thing you might want to consider is going round your machine and sealing possible air leakage round storage areas, where plumbing is jutting through the frame, even around your slides if you have them. It doesn't take much too vent your air to the outside. There are all sorts of tricks on here from everybody on how to save your a/c air. Anyway hope this helps some.
