A/C upgrade

[Gnomads]

If your a/c is loud and not blowing through the vents well you seriously need to call these people. We had the plenum installed today at their location. Absolutely hands down the best A/C upgrade ever. This product has done exactly as advertised and more. A/C is quieter and cools much better. Not only is the product awesome, the staff at RV Airflow Systems, LLC has the best customer service I have ever experienced.

Explain more as to how it works, i watxhed the you video and read aome ofnthe literature, but still not sure exactly what it does.

It smooths the routing of air and directs it into the duct work. We had a substantial increase in air flow. Came to Indiana and had them double check my install. They checked the flow with a wind measuring device. With it in and with it out. Huge difference.

Anyone else have experience with these? The main a/c in my unit is horribly loud in the living area and airflow through the ducts is poor to say the least. Been debating on adding separate a/c in the master and garage mostly just because the existing setup is obnoxious, but cooling to those ends of the trailer is subpar when it’s really hot out.

If this trailer doesn’t send me over the edge in the next few weeks I may have to try this

If you google travel trailer ac mods, you will find plenty of DIY videos that explain what this product does. Most will show how to do it with local hardware store products.

Good idea but way to much . you can dyi for a fraction of the cost. Of course if you have no skills then you're stuck paying for others to do the work for you .

It's a great upgrade for the guys and gals who don't like using tools, for the rest of us it's just as easy to go to the hardware store for some foam board and tape. but great product for sure. I love the demo on their site of how much the efficiency improves!

Most definitively going to do this A/C mod!

I’m just thinking out loud here, I wonder if you could 3D print something like this product? I don’t have a printer or have ever used one but was just curious.

There is some around, but it'll cost more than the DIY will.

I thought about doing the DIY version but it still isn’t as smooth of a flow going right into the ducts. I’m sure it is much better than the open plenum but there are areas that cause turbulence. I am quite capable of building one of these. I dropped the dime for one of my A/C’s but haven’t done the other yet.

I just did this the diy way this weekend. It took me about 2 1/2 hours with about half that time trying to peel the backing off the hvac tape. There is a noticeable difference in the airflow coming out of the ceiling vents. Another benefit is the ac is a little more quite inside while running. I also found that the cover to the ceiling vents needed to be removed to tape inside. The holes cut for the ceiling vents left open areas that allowed cool air to fill the ceiling area instead of coming out of the vents. I used the hvac tape on hand to cover the holes. This helped with airflow as well. I also used the camera on my phone inside the ceiling vents and found that the 2 openings in the ac feed 2 different groups of vents. One side feed 2 vents and the other side fed 3 vents.

This is a great upgrade if you have ducted AC. However, If you have one of the units that just blows out from the unit these won't work.

Same concept, half the price

A great idea for a ducted system without a "dump" feature. I system has the dump, this product renders it useless.

The dump feature is great for a rapid cool-down when coming back to a hot RV.

Have had ours in for a year now. Works as advertised.

Us ductless folks need to make sure that the installer put in the divider between the intake and exhaust. There's a at least one YouTube video where the owner found the divider completely missing and had to DIY one.

I took my A/C apart for the first time this past weekend. The divider is there but there are gaps around the edges of it. Also the control box lives in the intake path. The wiring on mine is a mess which probably effects airflow. Definitely some room for improvement.

Well worth the money. There’s discount codes all over if you watch videos on YouTube. Yes, it did render the dump feature unusable, however the cooling and quietness once installed was a more than welcome compromise. Even on the warmest days, it cools theTT nicely. And it’s quiet! Sure you can fabricate something yourself, but I don’t believe you’ll get it to be quite as efficient as the real McCoy. My 2 cents.

I did the DIY retro fit on one of the AC's in our DX3. I would say this is a must for 90% of all roof AC's. My front unit had the ductboard devider letting 30% of all the cold air going right back into the return side.
It took about 45 minutes and less than $25 to complete . It has made a HUGE difference.

What I did to my camper last weekend.
