I remember that one of my home A/C units was rated extra quiet and it was because they placed an insulated bag around the compressor to quiet the noise. I just started wondering if there was more efficiency to be had by insulating the compressor on the roof to minimize a loss in cooling around the compressor.

I think some high end coaches collect the condensate and use a small pump to send it down one of the tank vents. It’s a fine idea but it’s also just one more thing to maintain or to fail at an inconvenient time.
