I just did the diy of this mod for my 2 AC units. It cost $16 for the 1” foam board and foil tape. Did this project with my 6 year old daughter. It was hard to justify $170 when I researched it. The mod is amazing. We run our 2 units for our 43’ 5th wheel, on low, at 73 deg. The units will cycle on and off in 95 deg weather. Definitely do this to your AC units!!!
Ya the price is insane the do it your self version is just as good for only a few bucks awsome
Yeah. I’m down to save time/money, I’m a diesel tech, and have an educated idea of what’ll be gained by the product and the time it’ll take to do the diy version….This was just out of the justification zone for me(discount included, with the diy materials “on hand”, and also considering I don’t want to do work on personal time lol)at the hourly rate I get anyway. This isn’t a new idea, although does look like a good execution and quality design. I’m Also down to pay for product r/d. Just over the mark for me. Little less and everyone will buy….. although where it’s at I think a lot of people full time in the south Rv’ing will and I hope these guys are very successful.🇺🇸
Do tell!
@@aliesenfelt agreed. You definitely have to weigh out the aspect of time is money. I just really wanted a project to do. The value of the product is time saved. I also can’t spend that kind of money on a reshaped beer cooler…..hahaha
@@doratheexplorerbegins there are a few different videos on UA-cam. Search diy Rv AC modification. There are step by step instructions and explanations between the two common AC units used and how to do the design. It is a very instant gratification kind of project when you finish.
If I ever have to be in the hospital, I PRAY one of you beautiful people will be my nurse! Thanks so much for your videos, they are always so fun and hilarious. I have a gentleman that I watch called RV STREET that is amazing to watch for general maintenance. If you have not watched his channel take a look. He will save you LOTS of headaches with issues. God Bless and Safe travels.
WOW - what a difference and didn’t look too difficult. Love how well you guys work together - any time a husband and wife can do a “project” together and come out unscathed is amazing! Informative and entertaining - Love It!
I installed the RV Air Flow System in my Rv and was amazed by the difference, but then I went two step further. I also installed The RV Silencer from Wacko product and my my AC is running 54.5db about 4.5 feet directly under the AC. It is so quiet I’m amazed. The other thing I did was I took each vent down from the ceiling and resealed the gap between the ducts, vent exhaust, and ceiling with new foil tape. Over time the factory foil tape was pealing up leaving gaps for air to escape between the vents and ceiling.
As a retired respiratory therapist, enjoyed your explaining anatomical deadspace in your lungs. Good job! 👏👏👍
“Progress is where it’s at.” 🤣
Couldn’t agree more.
My life motto is “Progression, not perfection.”
Thanks for another great video!
ER Nurse here and buying my first 5th wheel this month. LOVED LOVED LOVED the ventilation example by comparing it to the human body :) It's pretty amazing how much better I comprehend things when we compare whatever it is people are explaining to nursing lol :) Thanks for the vids! So so so helpful and informative! I feel like I'm studying for the NCLEX all over again. :)
This product changed my life! My fiancee and I just started full timing thanks to you guys and changing lanes! Our trailer is 35foot pull behind with 1 AC unit and is fine on days under 85. Well we got this product or similar one and on 90 degree day we put it in in the heat of the day and it got very hot inside the trailer. Got it installed and 1.5 hours later the trailer is already down to 79 degrees and dropping, still in the heat of the day. We keep bedroom and bathroom door and vents closed until dark. Very Impressed so far! Also have a 20inch box fan pushing air across the floor. On 15 amp "mooch docking" setup and no shade in the afternoon. Any ways love your guys channel and happy travels Hanks!
Wow this is so awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Great idea and awesome video. When checking CFMs on an AC unit you need to have everything as if you are using it any other day. Keep vents on cause that’s how you use it every day. Yes the vents will restrict some air but that’s how it’s designed just make sure they are opened all the way. Hold the airflow cone over vent for up too 30 seconds but not less than 15 seconds to get a good reading. Yes I have a certification in airflow and 30 years in HVAC and this was what we found to work the best. Go by instructions but maybe this will help also. I don’t mind helping anyone on airflow problems cause sometimes we just need it. And it’s free. Lol. Stay safe and God bless.
Thanks so much! We did each one on a 20 second average reading
OK, I just finished the installation in my 221RB Transcend. It took about an hour, but I deliberately worked slow as to not mess anything up or move my AC unit. I had a little difficulty lining up one of the 4 lag bolts, but once that aligned it was smooth sailing. Now I was a bit skeptical as to home much improvement i would see on air flow and noise reduction. I figured I would see about the same in both areas as if I simply shut the vent on the unit. When I turned on the AC after the installation I was very impressed, and surprised, at how quiet the unit was and how much volume was emanating from every vent in my RV. Before I installed the Airflow, it wasn't uncommon to see 20 degrees difference in the bedroom vs our living area. Now the RV cools evenly..
Thank you Hanks for this recommendation! SO awesome and worth EVERY penny... Great job guys!
LOVE THIS!! We are so happy that it helped you Betty! Thank you for taking the time to write out some great feedback 😊 See you out on the road!
Great vid Carl and Ney Ney! Of all the RV Airflow vids I've seen yours was the most informative, actual numbers not just a "yea it feels better". Watch for any water intrusion after moving the unit around some. I'd be tempted to pull the covers and inspect the seal/chalk area. And perfect time to check the AC condenser for any debris.
I purchased one for my Dometic "Noisy as Heck" Brisk Air II. I have one AC in my unit and I just came back from the Outer Banks and the AC could not keep up during the day. Thought about buying a second AC for the front but after this, I will give this a try first. Was going to do the DIY method with foam and Aluminum tape but decided this was a neater installation and based on "Hanks Feedback" I was sold on this solution! Thanks Hanks!
My 2022 GD Reflection 337RLS came with the RV AirFlow installed in the living room AC. I can run my living room AC at night and it keeps the bedroom cool at night (much more quite in the bedroom this way). I just turn the bedroom AC down a few degrees lower just to supplement when needed.
Full time RVer in Florida. This summer has exhausted my very being…will 100% be grabbing one of these!!
First we wanted to tell you that you guys are a great couple. You’re really fun to watch and you have a terrific sense of humor the both of you. Now then concerning this video, we would like to say thank you for putting it together because you made it really easy to follow and understand which is exactly what I needed.
Thanks so much 🤗
There is a less costly way to improve your
a/c efficiency. Everyone who uses that product swears by them! However, I did my own DIY improvement by using one foot of round aluminum foil ducting and some duct tape. Spent around $10 bucks at a local hardware store and it made a huge difference on the output of the vents air flow! Our a/c fan motor arrived recently, so replaced our dead one and we barely hear the a/c running at all! The only noise is the air flow from the vents. Running the a/c on low speed our rig stays at a comfortable 75 degrees; with 100 + degrees outside, throughout our rig! WOW, it’s so good to be comfortable once again inside our rig!!
That’s awesome! Appreciate you sharing Tim 😃
Tim, what kind of rig do you have?
Hey guys I am an rv tech. 7 years. I'm loving this. Very cool. Biggest issues I've seen is the leakage into ceiling. Very cool!
What about the AC freezing up. That happens when we close the vents so I'm concerned it will happen with our new Airflow.
When we bought our 260RD it was an RV show model and they had already installed this. It does work great. We have only the one AC and it keeps it nice and cool inside even in the Houston heat.
Hello Hank's,nice to see you again.😊
We had a planned stop in Elkhart IN so after seeing your video we picked up two RV Airflow Units at the shop, installed them fairly easily and they have made a big difference.
My 2022 GD Transcend Xplor 297QB came with this already installed in the main living area. We live in southern Alabama and the A/C work extremely well. We do run the bedroom A/C to help get it cooled down faster but once it’s at the desired temp we turn the bedroom A/C. It’s definitely a must have upgrade for those they don’t have one.
I just read a thing saying since 2020 grand design was doing this to their units at the factory.
Good job you two, you all are the best. I look forward to watching you guys every week.
🤗
Awesome,. we've been loving our RV AirFlow Systems since last August, it's amazing!
Spent about $12 on material like foam insulation board/tape and reflectix. Made a tent shape directing down flow toward the sides and blocked the main AC from blowing directly down with the board, but added reflectix and tape to seal everything and tunnel direct to the sides. Much quieter and super strong flow from the out vents. Had to close the bath vent because it gets too cold in there now. You can even glue or tape foam brds together, then shave into shape if you don't want to bother with reflectix. ☺
Thursday with The Hanks! What could be better! #ThanksHanks
First of all THANK YOU guys for the discount on the purchase of the airflow. I'm waiting to get and install. I know the DYI version is good, but looking at the airflow it does direct the air better into the ducts, I wish you well in the marriage life as you two have a great love of fun and humor. May the love flow and well as the RV airflow and you see a 100% better love as you two grow together. Remember Carl the marriage is a fifty fifty endeavor, fifty precent is hers and your fifty precent is owned by her. Laugh often, love always and most important, touch can soothe the beast. Safe Travels and Happy
Thank you so much Priscilla & Bob!! We love reading your wonderful comment 🤗 Much love from the Hanks family!
We just ordered ours! Thank you for sharing the discount on the airflow system!!
Your graphics KILL me!😂😂 Also, one person commented that you two work so well together. Short story: many decades ago, my brother and his awesome wife decided to put up wallpaper. You might think you know where this is going, but it’s much better. Wifey was such a pistol and there were so many arguments that my brother slipped her a Valium in her coffee. Yeah, wallpaper was finished in no time and wifey was pleasantly agreeable on everything. 💚
🤣
Installed on a Furrion A/C. Improved the airflow throughout the Rv. Well worth the money.
Thanks for the discount code. Bought my rv airflow systems ac supercharger today and used your code. I am we excited to get it installed.
Took the plunge and bought a RV Airflow and used the ThanksHanks discount (thanks Carl and Ney Ney). The RV airflow was easy to install and I am shocked at the increase in airflow and colder air. When I first turned on the A/C, the airflow increase blew wood shavings and styrofoam pellets out of the farthest duct. Best RV mod so far!
That’s so great!
Thanks for bringing us along!
Love your videos. You put fun into education!! Thanks for all you do for the rv community!
🤗
I had never heard of this piece of equipment.
Looks like a dramatic improvement 👍
Thanks again for a great report. Will be ordering as soon as I get back to our trailer!!!
Thanks so much for sharing all the information that you 2 give us. As soon as we get back to our 5th wheel we are.dping this...We love your videos. We look forward to Thursdays.
Thanks for the vid guys. Always enjoyable.
We installed the RV Airflow before we came to the rally. Definitely worth it!
Ok so I watched your video, skeptically ordered this product using the THANKSHANKS discount code, and installed in our 31 ft TT tonight. Turn it on in the low cool position and like magic it transformed our TT into a very quiet wind tunnel. Ok we’ll maybe not wind tunnel, but it’s proving the vents aren’t just decorative! The TT is cooling down faster on low cool than it ever did on high! All I can say is thanks Hanks, you were spot on with this product!
That's so great!!!!
Instructional and hilarious. Thanks for your awesome videos.
Love you guys.
Tim and Bev
Did the same mod for our unit. Was in Myrtle Beach and this mode worked amazing! Unit was always cold!
Thanks Hanks used your discount code, I have a bedroom ac you can barely feel any air coming out of the two vents, excited to try this out.
Thanks Hanks!! I bought the RV Airflow with your discount code!!! Best RV upgrade so far on our 2022 Imagine 2600RB! Again thanks Hanks!
I just ordered 2 of them for our 41’ Solitude 390RK. I hope I can cancel my 3rd a/c unit order. I’ve been enjoying your show for a little while now. We’ve experienced so many similar “problems” as you. Such as a 100’ tree came straight down the center of our roof as well. Good days and bad, just keep up your show, makes us feel like we’re not the only ones. Thanks Hanks👍🏻
So sorry about all the troubles you're experiencing!
Great video and big improvement. Heard they work good. Hanks be cool now 👍✊
Wasn't going to do it this year up here in Michigan but it has been warmer than usual. Thanks for the video, looking forward to your next.
First off I can't thank you enough for doing the scientifically proven measurements with the animonium.... animotrium... anemometer cheerleader megaphone thingy because you know... SCIENCE!!!! You truly are in the company of the Mensa Society of A/C Engineers when it comes to that! And then, when you started talking about the number, and how the numbers were obviously a positive proof point of that numbers are numbers... BLOODY BRILLIANT I TELL YOU!!!! And then... I really can't believe this... but I watched through three commercial breaks and six commercials to get the final set of numbers. And I can tell you it was 100% worth the wait!! And in the end I don't even care that I watched ads because you two kids are double plus entertaining, to use that Ingsoc speak. But the only thing that has been left as a cavernous void in the wetware between my ears is... ARE YA BLEEPING COOLER AFTER THE INSTALL!?!?!?! 😁
Great review- and I’m glad they sent you a flow hood to get the right CFM - real world review 🍻
That's a great improvement great job, and I just love it when you guys do it yourself, again you guys ROCK. 👍👍👍😉😉😉
Thanks Hanks Just ordered ours
we too just installed these on our motorhome and love the results.
Cannot think of many things better than improved airflow. Way to move the air.
This was a fantastic video 😉! We may need to get us some of them nifty air flow thingys! It is super hot in the middle of a heat wave here in New Jersey! Would be nice to have them right now 🤔. Love your sense of humor, had us laughing out loud! Love ya guys! Safe travels!
What a awesome job!! We live in NC, so it’s hot here! This will help tremendously! #ThanksHanks!! ❤️❤️
Glad y’all got them! First thing we purchased a year ago ! Stay cool ❄️
Thanks Greg! We are so happy with them! 😊
Thank you for sharing! I had already been considering installing.
Wow! We may need to do this. Thanks for the info and y’all are hilarious too. 😂
Hank you for the informative video. It was very cool!
Welcome to the RV Airflow club guys....
Keep up the good and crazy funny content!!
Love the “TNT” Ney Ney 🤣🤣 On a serious note, great tutorial.
Just ordered mine with THANKSHANKS.
Thanks Hanks!!!!
Wahoo!! Stay cool!! 😎🙌🏼
We have one and it works great in our 27ft Harland 23 rbs. I was surprised how well it worked I also built a frame to go over the AC to hang a sun screen on to cover it.
Love the video.Will have to look at getting on for our rv
Cute and informative. Lining up the lag bolts is 90% of the difficulty of the project. My 3 were already done! Be cool! These will help!
Absolutely David! Thank you so much for your wonderful support, you stay cool as well 😎
I had wanted to get mine for awhile, but the new Grand Design Transcend Xplor units come with Furrion AC units. Emailed RV Airflow, and they told me they were releasing one for my AC!
Seeing your movie reminded me to go back and order it, looking forward to delivery!
Good scientific approach. It looks like a good solid product that will work well. For me, I have a duel basement AC that works more along the lines of the produce you just installed. Keep up the good work.
Don
Good info. Thanks Hanks. Cheers
I’m a respiratory therapist and I thoroughly enjoyed the dead space example. 😂
Fantastic!! What a helpful video!!
Thank you very much, John!! 😊 We are so happy to hear that it was helpful. Stay safe - Kyle and Renee
Thanx Hanx!!! And, enjoyed the live comedy show with the pranx too!!!
Gooood solid info, why in the Sam Hell don’t the RV manufacturers spend a couple of more pennies and have the AC’s configured this way????
👍😃🍻
CONGRATS....You'll Love it...glad you got it :):)
We just ordered ours with the THANKSHANKS discount code!! Thanks so much!
Good info Hanks. Might look into it.
THANKS HANKS!!!!! Just ordered and used the discount code! Saved us almost 30 bucks! Cheers!
We love to hear the savings $$!
We’ve been thinking about ordering the RV Airflow. Your video sealed the deal! THANKS HANKS 15% off so appreciated.
We’re near Houston right now for work…melting!
Stay cool!
Thanks, great video and it reminded Fred to clean out our AC filters. Check, AC filters clean and local vent closed. Mary💕Fred
Love your videos
Appreciate your videos. Appreciate you for sharing.
OMG! You are some serious Hankstirs! Energy out the Air Condition! Someone commented that we are Statler and Waldorf we almost popped our Muppets laughing. Keep up the great information and videos. Your new Subsciber -Jonathan
Keep on Trekking!
As always - love the video. Very entertaining, and we liked that it really gave some good information. There was an error in the process so it’s not really a 59% increase - just that side of me that can’t let it go. But still a good improvement and who cares when you’re having fun.
Thank you guys and girls 👧 for the great video love watching and learning..you rock
We love both of ours and it is quite. Great video.
Just ordered this! Thanks for saving me 15%!!!!!!!
Keep up the great videos
Update: just installed it yesterday, amazing difference! With my air flow meter there was big increase in all the ducts. Two of the 8 were just above double the original output!
Ty very much!
Thank you so much for the great update Richard!! We are SO HAPPY you enjoy it and it is making a difference for you. Stay cool friend :)
Putting a funny spin on ac maintenance!
Great job! Thanks for sharing your experience! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Woot Woot!! Definitely going to look into getting one of these.
Awesome Kyle! We noticed a considerable amount of difference in having two installed. Stay cool out there! 😎👍🏼
Great idea and informative. How did you prevent loosening up the seals around the unit when trying to get everything lined up purrfectly? 🙌
The RV self seals to the roof when torqued properly
Great video as always. One day I’ll own a camper with all the info I need
I wanted to go full time rv but I’m a single mom with three babies. Love your videos
AWESOME I'll be looking into getting one.
Hey Hanks, quick update on my new RV Airflow. It came today, brand new model for my Furrion AC. I installed in 45 MINUTES! And didn’t even have to use the duct sleeve inserts because Grand Design had already installed from the factory with the foam tape. And it increased airflow by at least 50% in my Imagine 2600RB. Cooled my coach by 14 degrees in about 7 minutes and is at least 70% quieter too!! Thanks Hanks!! 😁 Your install video was so helpful!!!
So awesome!
Thanks Hanks good vid!
Very thorough, thank you!
I definitely want to do this with our ac unit.
Laughing and learning, great info keep it coming!!!
I got your hat today and I'm loving it. I like that shirt Hanging with the Hanks
Awesome!
Thanks Hanks! Cool vodeo 🙂
So glad you got it done.. Next is the Soft starters.. I talked to Art as well. Nice guy..
Our grand design Transcend came with one installed. So nice!!!!
It’s about time!
Late to the comments with this suggestion....we have RV Airflow and love it! HOWEVER, you might not want it on all your ACs. We don't have it on the bedroom AC because we run that AC with the dump vents open at night so we can cool down to a lower temp without lowering the temp everywhere (it runs less). And you can't use dump vent with the airflow mod.... thought this is worth mentioning.
That’s a great point, thanks for sharing🤗
