    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.

      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.

      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!

    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.🤗

    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???
