Beat the Heat: Summer RV Cooling Tips and Common AC Problems (July Edition)

Nothing spoils an RV trip faster than a broken air conditioner in the July heat. Here’s how to keep your RV cool, troubleshoot common AC issues, and know when to call in a pro.



Tips to Beat the Heat!

Maximize Shade and Ventilation

Park in shaded areas and use awnings or reflective covers. Open windows in the morning and evening to let in cooler air.

Maintain Your RV Air Conditioner

Clean or replace filters monthly. Check for debris around external vents and ensure nothing blocks airflow. Listen for unusual noises—these can signal problems.
