- Tired of waiting all day to cool down your RV?? Does it feel like the Rain shower vents are not cool enough? Maybe you need a boost to your air flow!! Let RV Airflow Systems help! We got 43% increase of airflow after installing the mod. We think it will pay its self off in one summer of use!
Be advised RV AIRFLOW improved the product with a more dense molded product since we did our installation. We did receive the upgrade since we were a previous customer. So the product is even better!
*Solid, **Fastly.Cool** and gets the job done. For RV where window-mounted air conditioning is not an option, this works very well. Easy set up, rapid cooling, and great design.*
Wow! A increase of 43%! Amazing. It would be nice if they would have manufactured all RVs like that years ago. Good video
We just spent the weekend in Quartzsite, Arizona, where the temperature was 85 degrees on Friday and Saturday. This was our first trip where we could do a real world test with the RV Airflow installed in our Coleman Mach 15k AC. Prior to the install it took quite awhile to reach the set temp on the thermostat once we plugged into shore power. It was 85 outside and 81 inside when I first powered up the trailer. I set the thermostat to 76 degrees and within 30 minutes the AC shut down and the inside was a cool 76 degrees. That's never happened that quick before.
During the day when the AC restarted it only ran a few minutes before it reached the set temp and shut down. It has never done that before either. It used to run quite awhile before reaching the set temp. It also seemed to run a lot quieter because when it ran we didn't have to turn up the volume on the TV like we did before.
Needless to say we are both impressed with the great improvement. It works better than we expected and so glad we found the RV Airflow video! Best mod I have made to my trailer since new! One installation tip: If you have difficulty inserting the foam into position like I did try mixing up some dish washing liquid and water, coat the foam and the outside of the duct inserts with the mixture, then slide it into place. Made getting it into position much easier for me.
Thanks for sharing! We are STILL enjoying this mod!!
You were kind enough to comment on a video I had prepared on RV Airflow Systems so, I just wanted to help you out on by subscribing. Good luck on reaching 1,000.
Thank you!! Have fun with your UA-cam channel.
That was very detailed and good to know how to do information. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Keeping that foam surround in place like he did with your front ac doesn't appear to be something that should be optional the way they claim it is. Without that foam board in place part of your return air is now getting pulled from your attic space which is not only going to be super hot but will also be unfiltered. In my opinion, you definitely need to always cut the foam board exactly like the man did on the front AC, the back should've been done the same way.
I pointed out i felt the board was important we did put it back in. We only showed what we did on the front AC. Thanks for pointing it out.
Interesting. I have the same unit in my ‘19 Puma
Great job! With our new Rockwood I could tell that it was definitely less efficient then even our 1992 camper that we previously had. Rockwood is definitely a little bit different with their installation. They use foam that had blocked off that little return that I had to cut out to help with the flow. I will definitely be looking into a kit that might work for ours.👍👏
I’m looking hard at installing these on my 2019 GD Reflection 28bh with dual AC’s.
I was surprised to see that they didn’t tidy up the wiring on the return side nor tape up the return side to eliminate attic air being pulled into the AC.
I would pull every register and foil tape them up as well. I guaranty they are leaking into the attic. Mine were.
You won’t be disappointed. Already taped all the registers. Thanks for watching.
It's really about airflow and reducing turbulence. You don't really spend much cooling the air in the box.
Its about getting more airflow across the C coils.
Great video 👍
Good video, this will help so many people.
Thanks for the info on the AC upgrade
Very interesting video. Let us know how you like it after using it for some time. What’s the $$ for this service?
I’ll let you know when I get to use it more than just hi fan mode. I expect great results. Contact vender for pricing which I think is based on which AC you have.
Sad I can't use it on my 2003 Dometic Duo, guess I'll have go cheap and make up some foam contraption myself
Other companies make different products.
@@opaandomascampingadventures Such as?
@@safffff1000 Not sure if it works on yours..but the RV AC Silencer??
Too bad no one has a solution for the vertically run ducts if a midbunk
So you buy two rv ac for 500$ apiece roughly the have to add $400 more parts to make it work better then it did before....huh
The AC came with the RV. The mod increase airflow by 43%. Talk to the AC manufacture why their efficiency. Needs improvement. I can’t answer that.
Thanks for sharing! Please update us in a few months on the improvement. We hope you’ll stop by our channel as well!
Already subscribed.
This is very cool. Literally. Lol. How much does this cost to have them come and do this if you don’t mind? Hoping I did bot miss that part. Very cool video.
It comes with instructions based on the AC you have. I think the install was a benefit for buying at the Grand Design rally we just attended.
Question if you have a dometic thermostat on the wall, does it automatically mean the 2 AC units in my 2020 Keystone 357 Impact Fuzion toyhauler are Dometic units, if so had do you determine which airflow kit to buy? They make 2 kits one for a dometic brisk air 2, Evo and Blizzard and another kit for a dometic penguin 2 or Atwood?
I don’t know. You will have to address your question to airflow.
I wonder if they'll be at the national rally in Indiana. Would love to have this modification.
Pretty sure they will. The next rally they will be at is in Las Vegas.
I just did something like this to my unit for about 20 dollars. There is another video on UA-cam that you make from polystyrene foam board and ac duct tape. Took me about 20 min and can really tell the difference.
Very interesting.
I have the same camper and ac. Which one did you have installed? Mach 3, 10,15 or 8?
Those were Mach 15. We transferred those to our new camper. Momentum 350G.
Did he have the duct work taped off before they registered the air flow the first time and install the block foam?
Yes. Ductwork was taped off for at least one summer before the upgrade. Huge improvement.
Ok this is for Coleman. How efficient is the Dometic????
I'm sure you would get improved results. You can ask them directly at their website. RV Airflow . com
Interesting. I upgraded to the same single Colman Mach unit (no race track) this summer and had good success with the output vents from the center assembly. Do you know if those folks will be in Quartzsite during the Big Tent week and if so where they are at? I would like to hear their thoughts on how their product would benefit my setup.
Are you folks hanging around Quartzite for awhile or is it time to head toward Parker and Lake Havasu? I hope to make the second half of the Big Tent show and a few more days.
Yes RV Airflow will be at the big tent. We will be in Quartzsite until mid March.
@@opaandomascampingadventures Thanks. I will check them out. My big purchase this year will probably be a Champion remote start generator from the Champion folks at the Big Tent. The plan is to stay at Roadrunner and catch the last part of of Quartzfest.
We just left roadrunner. Let’s hook up before you leave town. You on Facebook?
@@opaandomascampingadventures No, not on Facebook and I am not in Quartzsite yet. I should get there the second half of next week and will stay for a short while after the end of the show. I assume you are set up in one of the long term areas. Is it the same spot as last year? I know where that is at. I will definitively try to find you while I am there and in the meantime I while look forward to your videos of the goings on in beautiful Quartzsite!
@@bruceh3786 Message received. We are at La Posa south but not same location. We are within 3/4 of a mile of the front gate this time. We will figure something out when you get here.
They moved the ac 1/2 inch. Did you replaced the gasket?
No. They didn’t tear the gasket.
How much for the kit? Thanks
I think they are $179 each. Check with the RV Airflow website to make sure
If we have a 2021 Grand Design do they come from factory with these already?
Just found out they are hanging tags on the thermostat if you got the mod.

Hello! Are these made for Dometic?
Check out the website RV Airflow. They show which AC they support
Yes
$200 for a piece of foam. LOL
Yep. Well worth it. Hi density with built in divertor. Air flow significantly improved. Cool down time exceptionally fast. Energy savings improved.
Opa and Oma’s Camping Adventures I feel the same way I will be making the same thing with insulation board and gaskets. It will prob cost $20 and an hour or 2
@@wwg-worldsworstgamer6678 Any improvement will be worth the investment. Good Luck!
It does work. Before the installation on my 30' Starcraft travel trailer I measured the air flow using my hand held digital wind meter. The vents closest to the AC were showing 10mph wind speed, while the rear vents showed 8-9mph wind speed. After the install all of the vents were showing 18-20mph wind speed, which was double before the installation! It was blowing so hard it blew the instruction sheet and screws from the bottom cover off the kitchen table.
