When I bought my new TC, the dealer asked why I didn't opt for ac. Told him I didn't need it. My old / sold Lance had it, think I used it maybe 2 times the whole time I owned it and both times the ac in the TC caused me to contract a cold.
Maybe I should invest in a portable 'swamp cooler' ya think?
I actually keep old RV swamp cooler I got on junk yard 20 years ago.
Still thinking that adding it to AC would be good idea.
Have 2 huge swamp coolers in Las Vegas house and they keep us comfortable with low electric bills.
Why they stop making RV models?????
Fact is that they are efficient in humidity below 30% and even Vegas has days where I have to switch to AC with some weather fronts.
I was camping in Sierra living in San Francisco area. Never used AC there as hot day we spend swimming/jetskiing/waterskiing when nights in California are cold so we would sit around campfire.
I actually removed the 400lb generator I had in 1 of motorhomes as storage was more important for me and carrying the dead weight did not feel well.
But in Nevada, Arizona. Texas you won't survive without AC and those are beautiful places for vacations.
Now thinking loud about enough generators, I wonder if paralleling 3 of 1000W Sportsman would run AC ? :D
Hard to beat 20lb "pocket generator" in convenience.
