Re: Keeping your Coach Cool in Summer Reply #28 – July 12, 2023, 05:47:51 pm It's 115 in Mohave Valley, AZ today and it will be even hotter for the next 10 days. Forecast is for 123 on Saturday. I'm still using a Hessaire swamp cooler during the day but use the AC at night. The south side of my coach is shaded and I get tree shade from about 2:30 PM on so right now is the hottest part of the day for me. When it gets this hot, I put up a makeshift curtain using a wooden curtain rod and my sleeping bag to close off the front. I have a cover for the windshield, passenger and driver's windows but it still gets brutally hot up there. In the evening I use the rear AC to cool off the bedroom and then switch to the front AC just before I go to bed. I'll get up and shut it off if the outside temperature drops below 80 but that probably won't be the case for the next month.

Re: Keeping your Coach Cool in Summer Reply #29 – July 20, 2023, 07:43:29 pm Returned the other to Home Depot the other day, no issues with the return. The new AC showed up today from Walmart, I went with a larger one, a TCL brand. They had the option to get another year warranty, so now it's 4 all for about the same price as the first. So larger and longer warranty for same dollar. The first one cooled OK, but this one I can tell is stronger and cools better. I plugged it into the wall so hopefully it will work without error. Time will tell... Quote Selected 2 Likes

The ceramic window tint helps a bunch. I would look into cutting one inch thick polystyrene foam to fit windows. I dont know how you survive in the coach. Seems every year it's a little bit harder. I had to fight the local building department because I wanted 5700 square feet of awnings around the house and shop. It does make a difference. They are priceless this time of the year.Scott Quote Selected 6 Likes

Re: Keeping your Coach Cool in Summer Reply #32 – July 21, 2023, 12:14:59 am I use Reflectix Duct Wrap when I'm parked both winter and summer. It is easy to cut and fitand I use two pieces and it is really easy to put up and take down. It makes a huge differencein the winter to keep the cold out and the summer to keep the heat out.
