[VAC] Re: Air conditioner removal

[Robert Petersen]

Jim, thanks for the advice, and I do believe you're right.  I took another look our Tradewind today, and if there are supposed to be 4 ceiling fan/lights, the A/C would be where the third one from the front should be located, or midway toward the back.  I'll take your advice and see how it works first.  One thing in my favor is that this Coleman unit also has heating capacity, which could come in handy being from Michigan.  Thank again,

 

Robert

Robert, I think you are wise to wait a while before taking out the air

conditioner. I owned a new off the showroom floor 1971 Tradewind (my first

Airstream) and the factory installed unit was just was you described the

location of the one in your trailer. But the real reason for suggesting

that you wait is to see whether you are comfortable in your trailer

without the air conditioner. That depends, of course, on where you travel

and when you do it. I can tell you from experience that the inside of a

trailer gets pretty warm after sitting in the sun all day. You may camp

places where you don't need an air conditioned but I believe you will be

happier in the long run to wait and see if you are glad you have it.

 

Welcome to the list and Airstreaming.

 

Cheers,
