M.O.C. #2753
Spent some summer time (parts of July, August and September) and decided to add second 15K Coleman in bedroom (by RV Lifestyles in Q'site for less than $800.00 INCLUDING installation). The main unit was not very effecient (have since replaced it) but the 15K Coleman did really well, practically on its own. Temps were in the 110s-120s. The Coleman was kicking out around 60F even in the higher temps. Main reason it didn't get cooler than about 100F is because of heat transfer from walls and especially windows and their frames. As has been mentioned on other posts, putting aluminum bubble wrap material in the windows really helped. The other thing I have done is use a Cool Mist Humidifier to keep moister up during the hot weather. That helped as well. The real test will be this summer because I have moved here permanently on October 6th.
