Rear bunk air conditioning mod
Hi everyone, earlier this summer I finished my 15 year old daughter's favorite mod and I thought I share with the group.
We have a Roo 233s (3 bunks), and the rear bunk (which is my daughter's) doesn't get much air circulation. On hot days/nights, that bunk stays warm. This spring I bought PUGs (which are awesome) but the back bunk still gets warm because of no air flow. Fans help, but I wanted something better. So I creatively tapped off the AC vent and routed it back to her bunk. I wasn't sure how the ceiling vent would come off without breaking, but I worked a couple screw drivers around the edge and it popped right off. I found these items at Menards, total cost of 20 bucks. The connectors are dryer vent quick connect (bought 2), and the new ducting is dryer flex hose. I screwed one of the flanges to the ceiling vent holder. I can easily remove this and reinstall the factory ceiling vent. A couple bungees hold the hose up and using Velcro I attached the other end to the bunk fan. We've used it a few times this summer and it really kept that back bunk nice and cool! The quick connect flanges make it easy to remove it, and it's pretty compact when not in use.
