Do you regularly drive around the desert southwest in the summer?
Seems a lot to go thru just to get outta Dodge, since your profile says everywhere.

I know it’s an older Moho but if 3 ACs can’t keep it cool driving down the road in hot weather, how do you live in it in the same weather with only the 2 roof top ACs?

Trying to help with your mounting exhaust and condensate issues, only 1 of which you’re considering now.

Thanks Rick for answering my question instead of asking questions on items that I have already figured out.

What is wrong with asking questions? What is wrong with people adding suggestions, tangent to your OP scope? How do people know you have those items figured out? People are trying to help and may see things you overlooked. This is a public forum with a lot of varying input.

Bingo, I wanted to know how he will handle the water condensation problem. People with Trailers have installed these units when camped and drill a 1 inch hole thru a wall and run a drain tube out. Doug

In the summer I do spend a lot of time out west.
From the very first time I traveled in the RV 20 years ago it did not keep us cool.
We ran 2 roof AC's and the dash and it would not cool the fish bowl.

So we have been dealing with it and not traveling more than about 4 to 5 hours a day before we parked for the day.

This trip each day will be longer so I wanted to try some different solutions to see if we get improvements.

I will let you know how it works out.

I also had a tech check out my dash AC, and he worked on it and got it a bit colder. Every little bit helps.
