Going through the KoolRV quiz, it feels like make this prodcut for one very specific RV setup.
They should have options for the most popular branded AC's
Nice video 👍
Thanks
Do you think this would be a good motor for a class A motorhome ?
I think so based on my experience. It's the same motor. Just tuned a but different to fit the application.
Heyyyyyyyyyy
Sup?
I have a 2020 Rockwood 2109s and wanted to either do the diy version, Koolrv or Airflow to increase the flow. I just inspected my unit which is a Coleman Mach 15 and apparently I can't do any of them. Rockwood, in their infinite wisdom ran the ac power and control wiring straight through the plenum and just below the air outlet. I was only able to tape off any holes and install a rigid foam bottom to the outlet section and discard the air dump baffle. A little better flow but not what I was hoping for.
That's unfortunate. The KoolRV product is a game changer.
The fall is funny hope you feel better lol
I'm good. It was a close call though.
What a scenery my friend! Outstanding uplifting
Indeed!
You’re so beautiful!
Oh thank you!
Curious to know if you used the cruise control and lane assist at any point for towing and what that did.
I tried cruise control, but it wanted to "hunt" for the right gear too often. I felt like it would wait too long to downshift, causing it to drop 2 gears instead of 1. I'm not saying you couldn't use it, I just didn't seem efficient to me. As for lane assist, I don't have that option on my truck, so I can't answer as to whether it works. Thanks for watching.
Plus how much you have your foot in the gas
I drove relatively conservative. Never exceeding the speed limit unless necessary for the duration if the data collection phase.
I agree with you. I had the same result. I was high up and it rained like crazy and totally dry inside man and it's up to military spec for me because normally I would have used my light fighter because it's military grade and I trust my light fighter. However my hornet performed amazing I can trust it. I know that for sure now
Thanks for commenting and watching
@@blueridgefamilyoutdoors absolutely brother and like I said it's up to the task
Nice 🤫🤫🤫
Thanks
@@blueridgefamilyoutdoorsyour welcome you know who I am??🤫
Glad you're doing well.
Thanks
Why no towing in 9th and 10th?
Sometimes, towing in those genes causes the transmission to "hunt" for the correct gear, which in turn causes additional stress on the transmission. 9th gear is not as bad when on flat land, but 10th is typically never used anyway when towing. At least by me.
Nice, love NC!
Us too!
Going in my 23 Rockwood 8336.🍻
You will be pleased.
Just my 2 cents I have installed the competition unit what a pain in the butt!, I had to unscrew the ac from the inside to get the foam in ended up stripping one of the bolts had to use a nut and bolt. Never again I will definitely use this product instead super simple install. And 1/2 the price. I don’t understand why you would need to close the quick cool as stated the more incoming flow the better, this being said once I get and install the product I may put a filter on the quick cool to see if it changes anything. It’s important that if you try this use a filter of some type you don’t want to suck dust into the system.
I agree. This is much simpler to install than the RVAirFlow and cheaper. Thanks for the thoughts and feedback.
Iv noticed that 67mph gets the best mpg in my 7.3 I get about 7.5 mpg at 67mph I bumped up to 72 mph same trip and dropped to 6.3 mpg. I have a 13k 38f toy hauler so she's heavy. But 67 mph seems to be the sweet spot for most Efficient fuel economy.
Thanks for the feedback.
I appreciate this review, and the combo of a meal to make! Haha. Happy camping. ⛺️
Thanks for watching
Asking a question. I enjoy my 7.3. 22f 250. You were talking about the engine brake. Does the truck engage the wheel brakes to help hold the speed. Hard to get an answer from Ford.
The backpressure from the engine holds the rolling weight back byvdownshifting the transmission. It's technically nit and engine brake, but does the same thing. Think about downshifting a straight shift tryckbtobslow down instead of using the brakes.
Thank you for responding. I was on 70 coming down Loveland pass. Running about 65. Using cruise control. Truck hold speed just fine. But I had to brake for some slower trucks. I did not think I used the brake much but after clearing the traffic., I could not engage my cruise. Message on dash was cruise control unavailable, brakes are hot. Just make me think that the cruise control used the wheel brakes to hold the speed. Thank you again for responding
Both items are WAY overpriced.
If you look at it from a material and construction standpoint, the KoolRv my be a but overpriced, but the other is certainly overpriced. From a benefit standpoint and the time I would have to invest in making a similar product to achieve the same result, I'll pay for the KoolRv all day.
@@blueridgefamilyoutdoors It wouldn’t cost them more than $25 to put it in your hands. They’re both overpriced.
Did you get a lot of condensation after installing this? I saw a few comments other places complaining about that.
No more than usual. If it's really humid, you'll get some around the ceiling registers . But that has nothing to do with the KoolRV product.
Great video. I have alot of fuel data on mine as well i should make a video soon.
Out of curiosity, how does your data align with mine?
Good information ultimately...it was 15 minutes of video before you actually got to the installation and then it wasn't done in real time...
It wasn't necessarily an install video as install is simple at beat. It was meant more for proof of effectiveness with actual data points. Thanks for watching
New sub…just now, looking at the 250 3.73, Godzilla, previous diesel guy too. I am pulling a 5800# TT (dry) with a 6.4 Hemi. Does good but want more without going to the diesel.
I think you would be pleased with the 7.3. It does all I need and more with 10,000 lbs. Thanks for subbing!
Great review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
I also had a 2020 tundra leveled. Amazing truck! But now I’m in a 2021 tremor f250 with 4:30 gears and max tow f350 springs and I get 2 mpg better as a daily than my tundra did
Those last gen Tundras are awesome trucks, but no much on mpg's.
Awesomeness!
Yes sir!
What's the sound difference like between the two? Did you take a decibel reading on your phone under each unit by chance?
It's negligible. I didn't bother because it sounded the same.
Hi we just purchased used one for a good price . Excited to camp
I think you will enjoy your new rig.
Good informative video. Refreshing to see a video with facts and useful information. Thank you.
Thanks. Be sure to check out my other video as well!
What is the engine brake on the 7.3 engine? Because i have a 22 f250 7.3>
It really the transmission downshifting and using the compression of the engine to help slow down When in Tow/Haul. It works well.
Thanks for posting, you’ve convinced me to go with the Kool RV product. Thanks again.
Thanks!
Whats eco mode
It's basically a setting that changes throttle response to be less aggressive. It helps you be easier on the throttle, thus, easier on gas. It's somewhat noticeable when driving, but it's not glaring.
Want one BUT it’s made in Taiwan.
I wish it were USA made. That's hard to find anymore. Still a good tent though.
We have Coleman Mach Q acs in our rv. those acs have a more significant solid foam divider than most rv acs. Wokod there be any advantage to removing that (it is removable) and installing the kool rv instead to get better airflow because it dumps directly into the vents? our airflow is not horrible, just looking to be as efficient as possible in the SC heat!
It should help significantly like the results you saw in the video on those units too. Thanks for asking and watching.
I’d love to see the comparison of both products using the same AC unit … that said I’m leaning towards the koolrv or the self mod method using foam .
That would certainly answer questions one may have.
@@blueridgefamilyoutdoors Do you notice the noise level improved with either one? More Quite
When I look at dealer lots I only see the 6.8 motor for the 2024 models, is the 7.3 engine discontinued?
Shouldn't be. The newer model cone factory with the 6.8 liter for gas engines. The 7.3 is an option. Likely the dealers aren't ordering trucks with the 7.3 liter option.
How much mpg would you think the 250 with 355 gears would get? I pull around 9000 pounds at the most.
It's hard to say as there are several variables to consider. I'm pulling 10,000 lbs but as a fifth wheel which has a lot of drag from the front cap. 10,000 lbs on a flat trailer would give me better mpgs than those discussed here. Either way, I would guess your mogs would be improved over mine slightly given a similar set up.
Happy Anniversary! I love you guys.
Thanks!
Happy Anniversary! 🎉❤
Thank you!!
Cool info. I was wondering what these got, and thinking about the Ram REV coming next year. It's the range extender EV. The say it will average 20mpg with the gender running, and roughly 2 miles per kwh from the battery. Tows max 14k lbs. With about 8-10k lbs, perhaps will see half the 20mpg, so 10mpg. If that's the case, then that's in the realm of some super duty trucks, and a reasonable alternative to the 6.4 hemi. And run on much cheaper electricity when empty, local routes
Thats certainly something to condisder. If Ford ever comes out with a PowerBoost Suoer Duty with the 7.3, I'll seriously consider that. With additional available towing ability and the 7.5kW generator with 30 amp hookup up, it would be a sweet set up.
It’s all about gear ratio. I haul 10,000 lbs daily with 4:30 gears I get 7.5 mpg I have a friend with Hiway gears and he gets 14 mpg
Agreed.
Well done, sir! Your video sold me on KoolRV over their competitor. Thanks for the input and the short example of installation. I'm with you, if one company can get me a super comparable product, you can bet I'll go with the lesser expensive one! Glad I stumbled upon your channel! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching!
Well Done, love the data!
Thanks for watching!
Great video and information!
Thanks! Appreciate the support!
Awesome Video! Was looking for a comparison article or video and with your hard work, knowledge, and opinions I’ve made my decision. Once again thank you!!
I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2020 2500 Duramax that we also pull our 278bh with, which looks like your rig. I had a gas Chevy before that, and really like the diesel. Enjoyed most using trucker lanes to fill up. However we are considering a different truck and the 7.3 has really caught my eye. Obviously plenty of ability to our trailers but even if we go a little bigger later. I am disappointed in my fuel economy at only about 8.5 in the duramax. Seeing your numbers makes me really consider the gas. My question is, on your long trips how was finding gas stations to fuel up at with the trailer? Did you have issues with that?
We've made 2 trips out west and several other trips all over the southeast, totaling 15,000 miles or more with this truck and camoer combo. We've never run into the issue of finding fuel if needed. There are times when the gas station is on the smaller side, requiring a more thoughtful approach to entering/exiting the pump, but it's never been more than is manageable. Thanks for watching.
What about making the AC quiter
The sound difference is negligible, but it is slightly quieter with the KoolRV product
2020 f250 here. Getting about 7.7 mpg towing daily. 18ft enclosed trailer hauling doors and windows for work. Engine doesn't struggle at all. Just my wallet at pump.
Agreed!
Agreed!
