Did this for my 1999 Bounder Class A, a 2006 Rockwood travel trailer, and now our current Class A. I set the temp 78-79F, close the blinds, but turn off the residential fridge. Heat and humidity here in FL will destroy the inside of an RV. Other than the added cost of the electric bill, very little downside.

Otherwise let it roast. 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS 675w Solar pictures back up [email protected] • View posts Windsor NC Senior Member Joined: 11/03/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 06/15/22 04:55am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I keep ours set at 82 while it is under the shelter. I also leave my frig on year round. It is a residential frig however. As already stated on this thread, we have our fiver packed just like our house. It is always ready to roll.

The only time we turn on the AC is several days in advance of a trip so that everything stays cool(er). 2011 Bighorn 3055RL 2011 F350 DRW 6.7L 4x4 Diesel Lariat and Hensley TrailerSaver BD3 1992 Jeep ZJ and 1978 Coleman Concord Pop-Up for remote camping Dave & Renee plus (Champ, Molly, Paris, Missy, and Maggie in spirit), Mica and Mabel, both Rat Terriers!

Oklahoma is rarely humid enough to worry about humidity. Put some vent covers on the roof vents and leave them open a couple of inches.

Seems borderline insane to run AC on a non-occupied RV. I guess all the insects and rodents will at least be comfortable. ??

Maybe open a hatch if it has the covers that allow it to be open in the rain. Florida maybe a bit different with the swampy heat but not OK.

The a/c would be on ALL THE TIME even set at the highest setting.

I set it on the counter & it drains into the sink. Into the tank, then, with the gray valve open w/hose. It drains the to the grass. Before I started doing that. Mold would start the grow quick.
