Do you experience uneven cooling in your RV? Perhaps the bedroom is like an icebox and the living area like a sauna. (Okay, we exaggerate. But you get what we’re saying.) You might be considering buying a portable air conditioner unit to solve the problem.
But before you do, here’s a simple technique that might solve the problem. And as a bonus, it might help extend the air conditioner’s life. And it won’t cost you a penny and maybe in the long run save you money in repairs!
But this trick, not commonly known, requires no modifications, explains Josh Winters of Bish’s RV. It will only work, however, if you have a centrally ducted air conditioning system. The only thing an RVer with such a system needs to do is to reach up and adjust the vents or fins in the cool air intake vent. Josh shows you in the video.
“As simple as this is, I’ve learned that a lot of people don’t know about it,” said Josh.

Thanks for the easy tip, Josh!

“…adjust the vents or fins in the cool air intake vent.”
I think he was closing off the output vents so the cold air was being forced through the ducting to a different output area.
Closing an intake vent would preclude good return airflow to the AC.
I’m going to assume this was a typo, give them a pass.
Most RVs have ceiling fans. We run ours in reverse during the winter on low and forward in the summer. This helps to more evenly mix the heat or cool in the RV. We only have a single a/c unit in a 34′ fifth wheel so this a long with directing the ducted outlets helps keep the temps more even.
We use fans as well, but have them on the floor pointed up a little. Cold air sinks, so this moves air from floor level up to mix.
Thank you for the tip, RV Travel! Have a great week and safe travels!
