Running the ac while towing
Do you run your air conditioner in your TV while towing your camper. I've always wondered if it put a strain on the engine or the ac system maybe causing overheating? Your thoughts?

- Possibly in the older trucks it pulled from what valuable HP you had, I use to turn it off on hills in my old trucks, but like so many other areas, the new trucks are light years ahead. I use it whenever needed now and notice no difference.
- The days of not running the AC while towing were over probably 30 years ago or more...go ahead..... Turn it on and tow cool !!!!!
- Have towed with mine on full blast with temps as high as 108. When in Texas AC is a daily thing from May thru Sept, towing or not.
- If it's warm I run mine.
- Yes as others have said if its hot it on. I probably does put a tiny bit of strain on the motor but not enough to amount to a hill of beans.
- Always run A/C when towing. Makes no difference.
- If it's hot outside, the A/C is on.
