Remember the days when RVs only had one air conditioner (and that was only if you were lucky and it was working!)? Nowadays, some of these new RVs have three or four A/Cs built into them. You’ll never be hot again!
Do you have an older or newer model RV? How many air conditioners does it have? Have you installed additional A/Cs, or have you uninstalled one or two? Feel free to answer those questions in the comments below. We’d like to know!
As always, thanks for voting in our poll.
P.S. If you have more than one A/C and don’t know about SoftStartRV™, you’ll certainly want to read about it here (and it’s on its largest sale ever—$70 off!).
I voted two, counting the roof air conditioning/heat pump units only. The dash air conditioning is a third one and uncounted for the purposes of this survey. Our previous and original RV had three rooftop units (one also a heat pump) and dash air conditioning.
We started out with only one but since the wife wanted one in the bedroom guess who got to install a second one. Luckily it was already wired for the second one and I didn’t have to fish any wiring from the breaker panel to do it. Geeze those AC units have came up in price!
1 new roof top AC since the 8 year old unit died earlier thus year. 1 15k unit cools our 35 ft TT until temps are above 95. Then we just stay home. Fans help a lot too.
I voted one – but actually, we have a basement model in our 34′ motor home. The A/C has two compressors for front and rear areas, technically two units – however I only use 30 amp power – so use just one compressor. (The 50 amp cord got too heavy to handle – or – I got too weak to handle it!)
2 roof A/C units, on a 1996 30′ Class-A. Which is unusual for our era coach.
None – I don’t go where it’s hot
chassis and roof
Our toy hauler came with three ACs. While we never use the one in the garage, I have cannibalised parts from it to repair the other two, which see almost constant use.
I assume we are not counting the vehicle A/C.
I did! Class B with in-dash, and roof top AC.
We actually use the in-dash (vehicle) AC more than we do the roof top unit.
I counted both, since we use both when driving. The chassis AC won’t cool the entire coach and the coach AC won’t cool the front cab area well. The coach AC is powered by the inverter while driving and the 2,800 watt engine hairpin alternator powers the inverter.
My motorhome has 4 A/Cs. I voted in the “3” category.
Have two RV TTs. Smaller unit has one A/C. The larger unit has two. It came with one thermostat controlled – ducted A/C and 120v power at a roof vent for an optional 2nd A/C. In spite of being in the SW U.S. in the winter, by the 3rd season we knew the 2nd A/C wasn’t ‘optional’.
One (extremely loud, energy hungry) original roof top AC and one (super quiet, 2X energy efficient) Mr. Cool AC/Heat pump I added.
Maybe someday manufacturers will use newer products and technology like Mr. Cool instead of the tired old outdated units found on every new RV. Take a big bold step into the 21st century. If our loud, not efficient, roof top dinosaur fails there will be a mini split replacing it.
1 on this one. Previous 2 RVs has 2.
