Holy crap $210? I would have envisioned this product would be only $50. But you have a lot of old folks that will pay that gladly of ignorance Wacko has to be getting at least 80% margin!!!
After watching your video (thank you!) and some others, I installed the AC silencer on our Winnebago Via, which we just purchased. Anyone installing one should have a second roll of foil tape ready as you will probably use a lot of it. Installing the tape is the most time-consuming part of the job. The instructions that come with the Silencer are very brief and I would encourage Wacko to provide more comprehensive instructions with larger photos. So, watching videos ahead of time can be very helpful. I didn't take any decibel readings, but the Silencer definitely reduced the overall volume and many of the higher frequencies were eliminated or reduced. One important tip is to make sure your AC's drain lines are clean as if they are partially blocked with debris, airflow will be reduced and you may end up having water dripping from the AC unit. It happened with our Via while we were still at the dealership and they promptly cleaned the line and the improvement in airflow seemed to be about double. We're headed out in about a week and if we have some warm October temps in Ohio, I'll get a better idea of how well the Silencer works. Hope you post a follow-up soon!
Thanks for the videos. I have the same Coleman-Mach AC - when running the AC, the center divider would push slightly to the side, and short circuit the cooling - ie. some cool air went over the divider right back into the return duct. So I taped the center divider across the top and sides to keep it in place. This setup does help provide much improved airflow thru the duct vents.
You do a great job at your product projects. Don't sell yourself short. You also are upfront and state that this item is a first and you are trying it out and will give feed back. Again, don't apologize.... These segments are real good.
As a contractor your anecdotal observations are important, Todd. Sealing up every inch with foil tape is super important. I’m not sure those decibel numbers are worth the price though, so I look forward to your followup video on this.
We have a different brand and love it. Installed it in the living room and bedroom. Didn't think we needed it in the garage. The motorcycle never seems to complain about the noise.
@@Gary-ib8dzSorry, we don’t remember the price, the name was RV Airflow System. We found it on a Changing Lanes RUclips video, by Chad & Tara. It does make a difference.
Tech Tips with Todd! I put RV Airflow in our 3 coleman A/C's when we 1st purchased our 399. Doesn't really make them anymore quite but it pushes the air more efficiently through the trailer. Switch it Up!!
I've seen where folks are installing both the Airflow and the Silencer. It's something I may consider if there is more documentation of the effectiveness of adding the Airflow after installing the Silencer.
Updated reply: I'm impressed with the AC performance after installing the Silencer on our new to us (August 2023) 2015 Winnebago Via with a Coleman Mach II AC unit. I've never had such cold air coming out of the ceiling vents and I've owned two travel trailers and a Newmar Bay Star with AC units. The silencer did cut down on the noise, but I think the biggest improvement resulted from using the aluminum tape to seal up all the leaks and gaps!
They had those at Tampa RV Show? I missed quite a bit there. Even going two days. It was our first time there, I was like a kid in a candy store !! We definitely would like to quiet our AC.
I would get this device but I love my dump valves so much that I cannot get rid of them. Living in Florida and coming in the camper from the outside after being brutally hot, I always open the dump valves to cool off immediately. Thanks for the video though.
Todd, good job. Would like to know if your GD has a "Barrel" roof. My Cruiser MPG travel trailer has a barrel roof, w/ 2 Furrions. Main living space A/C noise is so loud at this point,even on low fan cool mode, my wife has purchased head phones wired to the TV in order to hear it. My concern is the fitment of the A/C Silencer to the ceiling 🤔 If i new about the WackO silencer i would have checked them out when I was at the Jan 2023 Tampa RV supershow. The up coming 2024 RV Super Show is Jan 17-21, probably go check it out.🤗
Dear switch it up before it was so loud I almost could not hear after you quit on the silencer I can hear you at all the way better and it sounded like it was a jet engine on the first like a jet engine is that's what it was sounding like and you almost could not hear you at all when you put on this unit it worked and it sounds like we were able to hear you better and your speaker or your microphone was being able to be picked up more better your friend John Chalker Waterbury Connecticut CC 🙏🙏
What does this product do to the air that was originally output from the intake part? Remember that there we're too closeable vents where air would come out of??? Is that output now inputting into the input of the same AC???? (Real question lol!) You can see these output vents at 1:28, they are in the Open position I wonder if you compared CLOSING the vents at 1:30 to the output after the install? Does closing that vent give you the same airflow as using the shroud???
I could hear the difference, not huge, but enough you can tell, however at $209 usa = $278 cad, lol…Um it’s possibly not a significant enough difference to me at that price point and the hassel of changing out the cover. A ‘make work project’ has gotta be more beneficial for me to want to do it. Lol 🍻
We found our FAVORITE broom for RV Life: *BEST Push Broom Rubber Bristles*: amzn.to/3J3Huml
Wacko is the perfect name for that company because at $209 the price is wacko. Todd you did a great job on explaining and installing.

We installed these on both of our ac units and love them.
I love how you are not a one note RUclipsr....you cover it all....just call them squirrel segments lol
Another awesome video. Tech time with Todd. Thanks for sharing
Great video thanks for sharing. Thanks From Wisconsin
We have had ours sincere Jan 2020. We love them. Really work’s great.
Todd you find some of the neatest products out on the market thank you for the information.
I enjoyed the seemingly ease of installation! Good job Todd! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
We bought ours at the show, too. Does make a difference. It also really helped with the airflow, too!
I was going to try that on our rig. Glad you are doing it before we bought it.

Great info, thanks Todd. Safe travels.
I enjoyed your video and can tell the difference in the sound quality. Good job!
We are always tuned in up front looks like a fair product
We will wait and see what your final analysis is.
Thanks for sharing
Good job Todd
Don’t be so hard on yourself Todd! You did a great job with explaining everything! Great review! Thank You! Love all You do! 👍
Great product video, you did a great install video. Will wait for your review .
Great video! need more of these type!
We have a different brand and love it. Installed it in the living room and bedroom. Didn't think we needed it in the garage. The motorcycle never seems to complain about the noise.
What brand is yours? Is it cheaper?

same here, so will this help with noise without hurting our air flow from AirFlow?
I've seen where folks are installing both the Airflow and the Silencer. It's something I may consider if there is more documentation of the effectiveness of adding the Airflow after installing the Silencer.
Good review. I saw several people with these at the show. Hope it works for you! Love the name WackO!
Hope it works well for you. On the comment about the O in Wisconsin, try Oconomowoc. It gets many of the O sounds in one word.
Doing all the things. Good video.
Great presentation!!
Sounds like WackO silencer might be a good thing. Looking forward to the update on how it works over time. Thanks
Nice product review!
Great review!
$209 smackers? Are you kidding me. Holy crap.
Great content Todd. It’d be interesting to see the 30 day results. Stay safe, stay well and stay Wacko 😂. Till the next video.

Great video!
Very interesting product. I think the A/C noise is one of the most annoying things in the RV. Anxious to see what your review is in 30 days.
Nice informative video, but the part of Todd screwing up (pun intended with his driver drill turning screws as he points it up) made me crack up. 😆
Cool stuff!
Totally off the current subject but, Cool T-shirt. Good review too.
They also say not to use a drill as the screws are easy to strip.

Hi from the EMAHIZERs!!!!!
Hey John!
I would get this device but I love my dump valves so much that I cannot get rid of them. Living in Florida and coming in the camper from the outside after being brutally hot, I always open the dump valves to cool off immediately. Thanks for the video though.
Todd, I can think of a better product for you to endorse than WackO! 😛😛😛
It just kind of suits you brother!
Big truck big rv, made his own for about ten bucks. . You have a model food for thought
Thanks for the tip!
@@SwitchItUpLife side # Chad put pucks N the outlets, he says they push more air...
Todd, good job. Would like to know if your GD has a "Barrel" roof. My Cruiser MPG travel trailer has a barrel roof, w/ 2 Furrions.

Great ❤️
That’s insane $200!!
Do they make a silencer for the Furrion AC that have the temperature and power controls on the facia?
Would love to hear how it is after 30 days! M
What’s the verdict? Our AC in our motorhome is LOUD and right above the sitting area so a reduction would be great.
C4YT!
C4YT 😊
Did you ever do the 30 day review? We are thinking of getting one
#doer of all things.

WOW, that's really great, BUT... $200+ forget it! Way overpriced!!

Todd you could have done the diy fix for $10 instead

looks worthless . Prefer to take all my junk unit replaced with a quiet small splitter inverter
