AIR CONDITIONING:
- Your Air Conditioner is designed for a 20 degree temperature drop. If it is 100 degrees outside, the best your air conditioner can do is 80 F degree in the best of circumstances.
- Clean your air filters weekly, or sooner if needed.
- Annually perform the needed preventive maintenance, clean the coils under the outside cover and other items listed in your owner’s manual.
- Pull down your shades, and add insulation to your windows when necessary.
- Park in the shade – but examine the trees and structures for possible wind damage before doing so.
- A water mister may be attached to your awning, or awning rail in low humidity climates to help keep your RV cool. A timer could be added, maybe 9am to 7pm to save water. Use a water filter if the water is hard.
- Go on a day trip, to the mall, the movies or to the swimming pool on a HOT day.
- Monitor your AC voltage, the minimum is 107 volts, the maximum is 130 volts.
- Close or block off living areas not needed. Retract slides to minimize the space needed to air condition.
- Pay close attention to your pets. Do they have water at all times, and can they retreat to the cooler floor areas?
- Avoid the steam and warmth of cooking inside on a hot day. Cook outdoors or in the earliest and latest part of the day.
- Dress in light colored clothing; sit under the shade and enjoy your new location.
Happy Camping,
