    My bedroom units was short cycling and when I opened the louvers it stopped and is working great. We are very happy with our current settings. I am sure the vents are being fed by the living room unit but I don't feel a difference when the bedroom unit is on. I really don't know if the bedroom unit is even hooked into the vent system but the way it acts seems it's not connected as when I close the louvers the unit sounds like it is struggling to blow air. Like putting your hand over an air vent.

    Its a little loud but nothing I cant sleep through. It will wake me up in the morning but its time to get up anyway. I am just running the back one at night. I sleep through storms, trains and highway traffic so I am a bad judge of noise when asleep. We always run the fan on low. Seems to reduce the drastic temp changes and cycling of the AC. Both AC's blow through all vents.

    Steve,

    Are you saying the bedroom A/C does not blow thru ANY of the ceiling vents or just not thru the vents aft of the bathroom? Both front and rear A/C's in ours blow thru all of the ceiling vents. If BOTH A/C's are running on high, I can feel ALOT of air movement throughout the whole rig.

    I am so sorry, I just closed the vent on the bedroom A/C and air is coming out the vents throughout the camper. I should have closed that vent a year ago. Thanks Andy!

    No worries. I bet it makes things alot quieter with the vent closed too. Now that air is blowing through the celing vents, watch out for little pieces of that aluminum vent tape coming out of the vents. I'll still get a piece that will come flying out of a vent now and then. As long as I get to it before one of the dogs starts munching on it

    Andy & Julie,

    I have a 2105 379FL. With the a/c on in both the bedroom and living room, there is little or no air coming out the kitchen ceiling vents. If I close the main bedroom and living room a/c vents, then a little air comes out the kitchen vents. Do you think this is the way it is supposed to work?

    We just checked the 3 ACs in our350 The only vented air is zone 2- main living area. The AC in the garage and the AC in the bedroom are not vented to any other room. We used a ladder to get up high and check, even shutting the drop to see if it forced air into the venting and it did not. Yes, the AC in the bedroom is loud and the main living area is a little loud even with the fan on low. We do not like the on and off cycles, so we leave the fan on and the compressor cycles on and off, less differences in noise levels. When we are predominately in one room and want it quieter- we run the other rooms ac- when the extreme heats get here (probably soon) we will have no choice and will just live with the noise. Of course our preferred and probably most everyones choice would be perfect outside air temps in 60's and 70's, but those are precious few times of the year in Texas.
