By sean wichita ks question.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
I was told by the dealer where i bought my motorhome from that it is more economical to run my roof air conditioners heat pumps while driving than to run the engine air conditioning.
Even though it is not the most fuel efficient way to drive your rv you and any passengers on board will be cooler and happier on very hot days.
The rv air conditioner runs off of electricity and when you are not plugged into shore power you need to run the rv generator to power the rooftop ac.
A good roof air conditioner is something all rver want to use while hitting the road.
Their campers are equipped with the same air conditioners too.
Ac is the one that you would use while driving.
I have to run my generator to do this which will also use fuel just like the engine air conditioning.
This is especially true when driving a class a motorhome.

Hello all i am reaching out for help from anyone who has knowledge of keeping a roof ac going without using the generator or shore power.
