Air-conditioning

I hope this is not a stupid question but I'm wondering if there's any way at all to quiet the air-conditioners in fifth wheel we have one in the bedroom and one in the living room this this is our first trailer we have ever owned that has two and the one in the bedroom really really noisy when you are trying to sleep
I'm just wondering thanks for any help

Never had any idea there could be this much difference..

Went from a 2013 Big Country to our new Venom and the difference is amazing. Old ones were Norcold and new camper has Coleman ac's that are off ducted to the sides of the ceiling so the noise is cut way down. And the air flow is much better too. I can actually feel a breeze when they are on.

The 2017 models are ducted differently.
The new models now have quiet AC, much like the central AC in a house.

I just want to thank everyone for the reply they have been very helpful I think we all agree the bedroom off at night once again thank you

My unit only has the ducted A/C in the livingroom. It makes a lot less noise now that I pulled all the vents and sealed the ductwork. Whoever taped it up at the factory must have come back from a two-joint coffee break right before they started.

If your ceiling vents cannot be closed, replace with ones that do. At night close the vents in the LR and run that AC unit. Reverse during the day if one unit is enough.

I would cool the RV off with both ACs, then run the one in the area where we were not. bedroom during day, living room at night.

Our 1 unit is very noisy when on "quick cool", but not bad when ducted. As others have said, run the main A/C at night, then use a fan to push the air up into the BR area. Helps to leave the top vent open a crack, too.

And even if they aren't, you can run the other one and set a small fan on the floor pointed into the bedroom.......assuming that you can leave the door open.

In most Rv's the AC's are ducted together. If you don't want the noise in Bedroom when you're sleeping. Turn the unit in the bedroom off and run the one in the living room.

personally, We set the bedroom AC fan to run continuously. We need the noise to sleep.
