Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

cooling off with turbokool
Permalink  

We have had great success using a house type swamp cooler in the desert. We therefore are considering a turbokool swamp cooler. Has anyone tried using one. I am primarily concerned about capacity (we have a 40 ft motorhome) and would be trying to cool either living or bedroom ( based on which window is cracked open to exhaust air).

You mean like Mac and Chris did here -http://www.macandchris.com/AirConditioning.htm? They started with a TurboKool and eventually moved to a more powerful Solar Chill unit.

We had a turbokool unit in a 25ft winnebago motorhome. The only way we could stay cool in 80 degree plus outside temp was to stay right by the turbokool output. If we left that area, the rest of the motorhome was hot.

Everything was operating properly on the turbokool, the winnebago had good insulation from the heat. We just couldn't stay cool enough unless the air from the turbokool was blowing directly on us.
