They discontinued gas motorhomes because the 4th slide on a Winnebago wouldn't work with basement air.

Please quit posting this nonsense. This is absolutely not true.

My 40' DP has four slides....I wonder what that big box in the right rear is? It sure works like an air conditioner!


Of course! There are many 4-slide motorhomes that have basement air.

We have been quite happy with our basement air. It kept us nice and cool, day and night, last summer at Winnie-Itasca rally during hottest week in Iowa's history. Also has served us well in Florida and Texas.

Outdoor patio noise? Not in our unit. Yes, if you listen for it you can hear the fan, but it's not an issue. Normal conversation tones prevail and you forget it's there.

Bedroom noise? Some, I guess, but not enough for us to lose sleep over. Often enough, we don't need to use the a/c at night, but when we do, we sleep well.

We really enjoy the quiet in the living area. With the A/C and generator in back, entertaining in the front of the coach is very nice and quiet, even when we need the genny to power the A/C.

Roof airs would give us the assurance of redundancy, but so far, basement air and the heat pump have been quite sweet!

J-Rooster, that poster had posted several times in this thread that there were no basement air conditioning units in units with 4-slides. His responses were not only wrong, they certainly weren't funny. Most of us are here to help others with problems. It certainly didn't "get me going".

I turned some things I said into a joke of which you didn't think was funny. Some people have a sense of humor, some don't.

A tech told me what I had mentioned before, that the additional slides caused the basement air to be removed. He was wrong which in turn caused me to give the wrong information (which makes me not really wrong per'se, it was him, not me) LOL!

Sometimes these threads are good if they stay serious... this one is not that important.

Travel safe and have a good day.

MM.
