About the Blog:   We started RVing in 2019, but did not decide to start blogging about our experiences until 2021.  So, we have some catching up to do.   We’ll sprinkle in some new present-day stories as they happen.  But if you have time, start at the beginning.   You’ll learn (and hopefully laugh) a lot.

One cool thing about this mod: she did all the RV AC modification work herself. And even better: it cost less than $20.

Turns out, this is a pretty simple RV modification. You basically need a screwdriver, knife, glue, scrap cardboard, scrap foam, and A LOT of HVAC tape. After watching this video, even I (Lana) could do it.

Here’s a link to the paper template shown here. You’ll need to download the png and then print it.

If you want to get fancy, you can 3D print the baffles. Here’s the Thingiverse link to 3D design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4662142

RV Airflow Systems makes a variety of kits for various AC units, and you can find them here.
