Apex Nano 187 - Noisy AC

Hi. We recently purchased a Apex Nano 187. We have enjoyed it so far but noticed the Dometic AC unit is very loud due to the fan noise. Has anybody else experienced this? Any ideas if anything can be done?

Noisy A/C

I think that you're stuck with it. We had our Nano out for the first time a couple of weeks ago and noticed the same thing. If you were operating a conventional window unit in a small bedroom you'd probably have about the same noise level. Not much soundproofing there. Best option might be a pair of earplugs if you can sleep with them.

Lol. Our un-ducted BR unit has a Pratt & Whitney J58 in it....I swear

It’s about 7 x 7 1/2 ft and 13.5k a/c....I swear we can run it and 2 heaters...the a/c will win.

I watched a YouTube video about looking at the air flow, using foam to block open areas that were not in the main flow. Followed his advice. Moved a piece of metal out of the path. Used foam to block air going into other areas. Made a huge difference in how loud it was. I was shocked.
