    We replaced an old Dometic in our 36 foot camper (vented). ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDDbPbIlwLRcX_ntp51ui5UMtAUGpHYxE The install was a simple swap, all holes lined up, the electric plug back in with no trouble. Getting it on the camper was the most "difficult" part of it, and my friend made it look easy. I've seen people "sled" them up ladders as well though. I watched a RUclips video for instructions, very easily done. Some say it doesn't come with instructions, but I found the instructions under the ac in the box. I didn't need them, but they were there.It works well to keep a 36 footer comfortable, all by itself. It doesn't seem to be any quieter than the original, but it isn't any louder either. We're very pleased with it. Esp with the ease of swapping them out.

    Our first a/c unit froze up twice and was not cooling with 80+degree temps. Had unit #1 replaced with a new Mach 15k. Last night we got home at 9:30pm and it was reading 78 degrees with the new unit and half the coil was iced over. Got unit #3 put on today and although it blows extremely well and hard, the cfm out the vents are almost nil.
    I took pics inside the ductwork and they are clear. This new foam block has to be an improvement, reducing the turbulence to get to the trunk lines.

If a vent goes from 3 to 6, that isn't a 50% increase that's a 100% increase... Youre literally doubling these values. The rv air seems to have improved it a lot more than your percentages claim.

      When you close the dumps directly under the unit the airflow goes to the vents. When you open the dumps the airflow comes out from under the unit and very little air gets to the vents. When you put in an RV Airflow, 100% of the air gets sent to the vents.

    Great video. I have one on order for my 2020 Salem hemsiphere 378fl. It has two mach 15's but due to a bunk room over the master, the ac has to be over the kitchen (middle of the rv) and the front ac is over the front living space. These acs are not very far apart and the back of the rv gets hot. I am putting the rv air flow on the ac that is closest to the rear. I'm wondering if I need to block the ducts so that none of the air from this ac can go towards the front and all head towards to the back. I'm thinking this may help both units cool their areas better. Thoughts?

    • @HintonTheTrail
      @HintonTheTrail  3 года назад

      Thank you!
      Are both of the A/C units ducted? If so I would honestly put one in both.
      If they’re not both ducted than the one that isn’t will only cool the room it’s in. If you block off the other ducts you would be forced to run that unit to cool that room.
      Either way, I would see what your results are before blocking any ducts. If you do block them you pretty much have to do it at the vents so the air would have already traveled that distance. Stopping it won’t help the other areas that much.

    • @DadofBallers
      @DadofBallers 3 года назад +1

      @@HintonTheTrail I was really talking about blocking the raceway from the second ac up so that it basically creates two zones. The front ac would cool the open area of kitchen and from living and back ac would force air back on the long duct runs. Otherwise, the rv airflow will be pushing air to the front also instead of to the back where I think it is needed more. Yeah I'll try without first and then may buy another.
