Re: 2013 Kodiak AC
This may be a bit late but I was experiencing a similar situation in my 276bhl 2013. I spent one afternoon and opened up all the the vent and traced the ducting from the supply. I notice that there was some random spaces that were being used with no vents. Also when I opened the access from the ceiling there seemed to be lots of cross flow from the return air and the cool supply. So any way I went through and blocked off any unnecessary ductwork and installed foam at the end just past the last vent. Also spent about an hour using duct board and ul listed Tinfoil tape and seal off the return air and supply. It does seem like a lot of work but it truly was not bad and I really got to know the workings of my trailer. Anyway by in blocking and sealing my a/c works great. 90* out and I'm 75* ish (depending on kids in and out) in about an hour. I also carry an small 6"to 8" vornado fan that I help move the air around.588Views0likes0CommentsRe: So what are folks average MPG when towing
So I just got back from a road trip from salt lake city to crater lake,jedediah smith, humboldt,lassen volcanic park and back. I have a 14 3500 cummins towing a 33'tt my total # was 19,500/20k dependingon tanks. On the open road speed was 65/70 with lots of wind. After 2234 miles and 57 hours my mpg was 10.2. My buddy and family were in a f-150 12,and about 11.5k(tanks mostly dry) he got 10.1mpg. A few times as we filled up we were with in a few tenths of each other.418Views0likes0CommentsRe: mattress topper?
We bought a 3"topper from amazon and after the first winter storage it developed a split across the middle of the topper. I sorta repaired for the next season try to buy some time before I bought another, but found a local mattress manufacturer in town and they made a custom full firm foam with topper for $375. A little expensive but it's lighter than the spring and 3"topper and sooooo comfortable. Good luck.313Views0likes0Comments
