Re: RV AC units - Questions
I have a 30' TT that came with a 15 btu. On hot days (90+) with no shade it just couldn't keep up. The factory install was horrible. It was blowing cold air so I just sealed it from leaking into the ceiling with little improvement. I added a second 15 btu in the bedroom and now everything is great. Once I get the TT cooled down I can just run the bedroom a/c so it is quiet in the living room. Good luck with yours.588Views0likes0CommentsRe: Aftermarket Exhaust Benefits

The exhaust temp reduction was the main benefit. I also put a Walker Big Truck muffler on and had the exact same results with my 7.3.488Views0likes0CommentsRe: Size AC unit in travel trailer

I had a Jayflight and the tape rolled back just like yours. Mine was not EternaBond. It was just some thin tape that came from the factory. I don't really remember but I feel sure that there was lap sealant under it.368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Adding 2nd A/C, more questions.
I added a 2nd A/C to my camper a couple of years ago and have had no problems with the cord below. Coleman Cable 02687 10/3 Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord with Lighted End, 25-Feet Adding the 2nd A/C is the best thing that I have done to the camper.234Views0likes0CommentsRe: Air conditioner size
Mine came with a 15k. It did fine in the shade but without shade it struggled in the NC heat. We stay at the beach a good part of the summer and it would get up to about 84 in the camper. It did feel cooler than that though. I covered the windows and skylights which helped but it was no fun being in a cave. Couldn't look out of the window, always dark with little natural light. And you didn't dare cook in the camper during the day because it would heat the camper up and wouldn't really cool down until the sun went down. So I added a second 15k A/C. Best thing that I have done to that camper. Now I am not afraid to cook or open the door during the heat of the day. A wise old man once told me that you can finish with to much. Sorry for the long post.279Views0likes0Comments
