    Question Effectiveness of air conditioners on Solitude 310GK

    I am considering the purchase of a Solitude 310GK. Can someone tell me their experience with the effectiveness of the two A/C units? For instance, if outside air temp is 90°F and no shade, what was the interior temp? I recently had a bad experience with my travel trailer that has one A/C. The interior remained uncomfortably warm with an outside air temp of >90°F.

    With temps in the 90s, our two ACs will easily keep the inside of the RV at 72 - 74 degrees (probably lower, but that's where we like it) - but we have dual pane windows. We also use the awnings to shade the big windows on the door side when appropriate.

    We were in Tucson last summer 108° full sun exposure. Our rig stayed as cool as we needed. Took a little time to figure out what temp to set the units at so they weren't fighting each other. But that was easy.
    Overall very pleased.

    Thanks for your responses. Exactly the information I'm looking for. I take all marketing hype in the brochures with a large grain of salt. Having actual people relate their experience is much more dependable.

    Be aware that @Cpb9294 has an Imagine travel trailer - not a Solitude 310GK like you asked about.

    Good point, I should add that the front unit is 13.5k btu, and the main area one is 15k btu.

    Just got back from the Kern River just north of Lake Isabella here in California. Temps hit 93 and rig stayed nice and cool with my 2 15k btu Coleman Mach units. My rig is a 315rlts which is very similar layout except in Travel Trailer form not fifth wheel. We don’t have dual pane windows. Works great! Did add the RV airflow mod to both air units they now flow much more air.

    For reference, then, our unit has two 15K Mach units on it (came that way from the factory).

    We had a 378MBS which is bigger than a 310. We never had any issues keeping it cool with 2 air conditioners. We did have dual pane windows but did not have slide toppers.
