Those Things on the RV – Summer Cooling

The high temperature for several days made people feel sunburned under the scorching sun, so everyone started a general mobilization for cooling down the summer heat, blowing air conditioners, eating cold drinks, swimming and other ways to show their skills. The interior of the RV under the same scorching sun also becomes stuffy and hot like a steamer, and the RV is hotter than the home due to its own material and usage habits. How should the RV cool down? Today, let’s talk about those things that cool down the RV in the hot summer.

Those Things on the RV - Summer Cooling

Cooling method NO.1 Mysterious cooling

First of all, I would like to declare that this method of cooling down is very effective, so please do not spread it to the outside world. In addition, after reading this method of cooling down, you are not allowed to make personal attacks on the editor, such as tying tires or throwing bricks. The way to cool down mysteriously is to drive the RV to a cool place, hahahahahahahaha…

Cooling method NO.2 Open the window to cool down.

Open the windows to take advantage of the air convection between the windows to cool down, and at the same time feel the natural atmosphere. Because RVs are mostly used outdoors, even in summer the outdoor air is not as hot as in the city, so the effect of opening windows to cool down is very significant. Remember to close the window screen while opening the window, otherwise the mosquitoes that fly in during the day will cost you blood when night falls.

Cooling method NO.3 Exhaust cooling

Because the principle of air heat rises and cools down, most of the heat in the car is concentrated on the top of the car. When the car is stuffy, turn on the exhaust fan on the top of the car, and you will find that the temperature in the car will drop a lot in a short time, especially in the car that has been exposed to the sun for a day. The effect is most obvious. If there are more than two exhaust fans in the car, it is better to turn off one of the exhaust fan blades to generate convection. The disadvantage of the exhaust fan is that if you forget to turn off the exhaust fan when you go out, and you happen to be blessed by the rain god, your car is likely to become a mobile swimming pool. Congratulations in advance.

Cooling method NO.3 Electric fan cooling

There will be ceiling fans installed in some large RVs in the United States, so just turn on the button. If the RV does not have this configuration, an external fan can be connected through the power interface. The electric fan can not only accelerate the air circulation in the car, but also the wind blown by the fan is softer than the cool air of the air conditioner, so it is still very popular with some friends. However, the cooling effect of the fan is average, but when combined with other cooling methods, the cooling effect can be superimposed.

Cooling method NO.5 air conditioner cooling

RVs are basically equipped with high-end equipment such as air conditioners, so that we can enjoy the cool feeling brought by high technology outdoors, and the cooling effect is unparalleled. However, both the driving air conditioner and the vehicle air conditioner consume a lot of power, and the vehicle air conditioner can only use 220V power supply (some American imported RVs use 120V power supply). Most of the outdoor power comes from generators (vehicle 12V, household 220V), so don’t forget to save energy when using air conditioners outdoors. In addition, a friendly reminder, the air conditioner, especially the top-mounted air conditioner, is very noisy at night in the wild!

Summary: It seems hotter inside the RV than at home, but in fact, it will not be as stuffy as imagined when camping in the wild. The heat island effect makes the city hotter in summer, all we need is to escape the city and feel the coolness of nature. Most of the five cooling methods mentioned above can be used in various combinations, such as opening the window to form air convection when turning on the exhaust fan, or using a fan to quickly diffuse the cold air when turning on the air conditioner, etc. Only when multiple cooling methods cooperate can effective and rapid cooling be achieved. RV cools down. So what are you waiting for, let’s start with the first cooling method.
