AIR CIRCULATION
Has anyone had a problem with air circulation during warm weather use, particularly in the living room area? Even with the windows open and the ceiling fan going, it seems to stay somewhat stuffy and a bit too warm, so we end up using the A/C. Our unit is currently at the shop, having a Maxxfan ventilator installed in the kitchen vent area, so we're hoping that helps. We were going to have another ceiling vent installed in the living room area, but the repair shop couldn't see whether there was a clear location for it, so they suggested we drop that idea. Any other suggestions?

If you have installed roof vent covers, so you can open vents in the rain, they dramatically reduce air circulation.

Our experience is that our beloved tin cans, err, rv's heat up quite fast, and it's not long before the air conditioners are on. It is amazing that even with an outside temp as low as 75, it is at least that warm in Tana.
Our experience, we have so few days that we can feel comfy with the windows open that we rarely use them. That also helps keep some of the blowing dirt and dust out.
Your own comfy levels will dictate how many air conditioner/heater days you have and how many open window days you will have.

You will notice a difference with the new fan installed. They draw quite a bit of air through the rig and aid in circulation.

We also have the Fantastic Fan. We typically use it with the windows open and the ceiling fan going if the daytime temps do not go above 80 or so. The Fantastic Fan pulls a lot of air in thru the windows. Especially helpful if there is not much wind blowing outside.

Fantastic Fan. Just open one window on a cool side and turn it on.

We have had three Fantastic Fans on our rig since 2003. They are "fantastic" when it comes to moving air through the rig. We use them in place of the AC as much as possible.
