Both units work fine, and the rear of our coach cools down well enough. The rear unit will cool the coach by itself at night. It's up front where the problem is. Opening the vents on the ceiling cover helps. Pushing it through the ceiling duct work is useless. Almost no air passes out of those vents, even with some strategically closed.



Have not yet done the additional vent as SuperD suggested. Husband is looking in to swapping the front a/c unit for a 15,000 BTU. Also adding snap on window covers for the windshield and side windows up front. Not sure how else to try and overcome the crappy insulation. That's all on the back burner for now as we work on other modifications and getting some warranty work completed.



We had one coach, a 32ft Bounder with just one unit. It wasn't super cold, but it got cooler than our new Challenger. Last coach was a 37ft with two 13,500BTU units and that RV would get seriously cold, even in the FL heat.


We have a 32 ft four winds and we are experiencing the same problem. The unit doesn't get below 80 until 3:00 in the morning.
