Air Conditioning how many do not use it.

[opnspaces]

I bought my trailer new in 2005. I think in the last 15 years I've probably turned my AC on a total of 5 times. And three of those times was just curiosity to see it it still turned on.

Is there anybody else on here that never uses their AC?

Mid Atlantic region, where summers usually get into the 80-90% humidity range we have our AC going. Gets too hot and humid inside the tin box to be able to sleep.

We are in hot and humid SC. We run ours if it is over 72* inside or humid, which is pretty much April-November, and in between if needed at other times...

We had a neat freak in our camping club- never used his bath area. Spent all his time cleaning.

Start one titled: “RV toilets. How many won’t poop in theirs?” :B

Yep,that one blows me away.

Talked to several who actually emphasized the fact that they've never used the toilet or shower in the RV.

[Cloud_Dancer]

Yes, we have it and if we need it we use it,...to the max if the situation calls for it.

I use mine often in summer. I don't use it much in spring and fall.

I am just a weekend camper that stays close to home. Last weekend I went to a small county park near me that doesn't have many amenities and is 10 bucks a night for electric and nothing else. (You can't even get water there) I was surprised at how many people were at this park. It's usually deserted. This caused the park to be more noisy then usual so I ran the AC at night so I could keep the windows closed.

Kind of funny topic.
May as well ask "Who wears a jacket when they camp" or "Who turns on their furnace?"

Well if you camp late spring through early fall in the south I would assume the answer would be "never"

We camp end of March through end of October here in New York.
Night temps fall to almost, if not, freezing.

We then turn the furnace on.

The last camper I bought I actually removed the roof AC and caped the hole. I drove all over the country so this saved a little wind resistance, weight and kept my height a few inches lower.
I put it back on for an August FL trip and ran it just at night for sleeping.
I do not spend the day in a camper, the camper is a home base for adventure or whatever I am doing on vacation and not sitting in a small area looking out a window... lol

No RV now, but when I had them (3 total) I lived in Ewe-stun, TX. Easiest to say I didn't use the AC in January. Other times, default was to use the AC: for heat and humidity April - Sept, mostly just because it was warmer than comfortable in Feb, March, Oct - Dec.

On the 3rd and last RV, a specific requirement was for ducted AC. Probably turned out to be one of the reasons we used AC much of the time in that unit.

Pretty sure they need to be started so parts remained lubed. For those of us with onboard gennys its common to run the A/C when you cycle the generator.

[TXiceman]

In the 7 years we have been full time, I can count about 5 times that we have not used the A/C.....

Traveling where the weather suits my clothes.

Funny but true.

Even when we're not camping and the wife and I go to the trailer to drink wine and play cards " often " , first thing she does is crank the AC.

I wonder why . . .

Marysville, WA (where you live) weather data from 2019:

June: 62 degrees avg temp, 63% avg humidity
July: 65 degrees avg temp, 66% avg humidity
August: 68 degrees avg temp, 51% avg humidity

As compared with, Lake Havasu City, AZ (where I often stay):

June: 92 degrees avg temp, <25% avg humidity
July: 98 degrees avg temp, <25% avg humidity
August: 98 degrees avg temp, <25% avg humidity

And, yes, I use the AC quite a lot in the Southwest.

How about another question along the same vein like . . . who uses their furnace in winter?

I'll bet the results from Green Bay, WI will be different from Yuma, AZ.

Location, location, location

We are snow birds and spend the winter in AZ. There have been a few times that the temp was in the 90's but we boondock all winter so no power to run the AC. We just sit outside in the shade.
