2016 Holiday Rambler 32V

Been checking out some new gas class A's and really liked the floor plan and amenities of the Holiday Rambler 32V. Two things I'm not keen on; only one A/C unit and 30 amp service.
Any one have one of these new models and how do you like it?

    1 AC is a deal breaker with that much coach...


    Agree with Stu, the only time you can get by with one air is 'maybe' on a class B.

    Don't even think of a coach that has less than 50 amp and it must have at least two A/C's on a class A.

    Good luck.

  • Thanks, Effy. The floor plan is exactly what we want. I haven't asked if an additional a/c can be installed but I doubt it with only a 30 amp system.

    Travelling is where it really gets you. Since it's a gasser the AC has to combat the sun as well as all the rising heat from the road, engine and tranny. I can tell you first hand that on an 85+ day, one ac can't keep up. That's with the window shades down and starting off cool. Might do ok camped in the shade but not while travelling.

    Don't know much about that particular unit but I can tell you, depending on where you travel, 32 feet is too big for one AC. Ours is 29' with a 15k unit and depending on where we are camping it can struggle to keep up. Travelling on a hot day with the gen running it loses ground about 1 degree per hour and runs non stop. If I ever get another MH it will have at least 2 ac's.
