Could be better... but, in all fairness, there's so much glass up there. 40' diesel pusher. Use the roof airs going down the road (running the generator).

I like ours, we were going through northern Alabama and couple of years ago in August when The temperature was about 105. The DW was laying on the coach when I asked her if she wanted me to start the roof air but she said she was cool enough from the dash air.

Mine works as it should in the MH listed below..Been it some pretty hot temps and only used the gen/roof airs once......

Just a note: I had the comp replaced on my engine a/c 2 yrs ago with only about 9K miles on the MH, at that time it was only 4-5 yrs old....Had it done at a Ford dealer on ext warranty...This dealer works on alot of motorhomes....One thing the serv mgr told me is that they see a much larger percentage of newer motorhomes that need the a/c comp replaced (leaking seal) than cars...Much more....He attributed it to lack of regular use....His advice was to use the a/c regularly, every time I take it out for exercise in the winter just use it for 10-20 minutes......Seemed like a good idea so I do.....

Works well enough. It was recharged ~3 years ago by a PO, heat's another story. Long run of uninsulated hose there.

Dash air is perfect (ice cold). But there still is no way it can keep up. So when we are traveling the genny is running and the roof airs are on.

WOW at first there I though you had her on the roof.

Our dash covers 32' house OK when under way but if parked in the sun in the middle of the day the roof units are needed for a while to cool it down after we start rolling.
