Hello Thank you for that great video I have a question. I live in South Florida. Is this air conditioning sufficient enough to keep it cold in the heat of the summer in South Florida to one of my biggest concerns like what is the ambient temperature when it's 95° out? It's a big concern of mine and buying this trailer. Thank you for your help.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Thanks for watching. In my opinion, I think it will struggle in a T@B 400. May even be too little for a T@B 320. Unless something has changed in the way they operate now vs then. Reason is the warm air return location and the fact that heat rises and cool air drops. I feel that the roof A/C's work best because of how the air circulates. Hope this helps.

[@desmaraisisabelle7102]

I touch it. What could it be? So I can't operate it

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Not sure what the question is.

[@wendylewis7136]

I have a 2020 320S. The fan does not stay on when the compressor kicks off. Not in low med or high fan. Everytime the compressor kicks off so does the fan. THAT is what disturbs my sleep, because when it goes on and off there is a huge disruption in the sound level. IF the fan would stay on it would not be so disruptive. The recall fix, removes those louvered vents. NuCamp did my recall.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

I was mis-informed by the supplier for this product. This unit is not programmed correctly in my opinion. Sorry for that...

AC consums around 1200W. Your generator (solar or gasoline) should be able to provide that amount of power constantly (not just peak). If you buy lithium packages, it's around 2kw in usable batteries (100aH * 2 batteries * 12V = 2.4kW). So, ac can constantly run for about 2 hours in theory (in practice, not more than 1.5 h) . That is constant run, by the way.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Good information. Thanks for the input

[@mmstallings]

Thank you so much for this because I couldn't find anything anywhere as well.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@jesserevilla992]

You're the only YTuber that goes this far into detail on the A/C and truly appreciate this for the Tab since i live in FLA. And this had me concerned can it cool the unit in 90 degree weather.

[@vegpwrshlominator1873]

One thing I like about this air conditioner that the Danbi doesn’t have is a thermostat. The Danbi will just keep on running on my Tag teardrop.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Thanks for watching. Good to know!

[@ChrisCorson]

How durable is the unit, any word yet? What maintenance other than the filter is smart

[@TheAirForceGuy]

I will do a follow up video

[@johnmorris8626]

Thanks, Paul. We have ordered our T@B320S Boondock edge and hope to take delivery of it early September. I’m enjoying you reviews of this RV and like learning about the systems in it. The how to is great.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Appreciate the feedback

[@dramaqueen3306]

very helpful video, thank you.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Appreciate you watching. Still waiting to get some answers to a few questions.

[@dramaqueen3306]

RV Reviews by The Air Force Guy I’m picking up my 2020 T@B320 S boondock next week and am hoping that all will be fine with it, but I’m a little concerned about the air conditioner being under the bed, and the vents being on the undercarriage near the back tires. Hopefully these are just worries that won’t become problems.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Just make sure they completed the Service Memo sent out July 12th.

[@scottelwood8348]

Excellent video thanks Paul

[@SherryMoore-w1d]

We have a 2020 Tab 400 where can we buy the filters for the ac?

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Recommend calling NuCamp . Appreciate you watching.

[@74052]

Can you tell me how to just insure the unit is turned off

[@randymercer8461]

I recently purchased a new T@b 400 that has the Air8 and we've had some issues with it cooling effectively during temps in the upper 80's-90's. Come to find out that there is a recall for a mod to the air vents located on the bottom of the trailer. Have you heard anything about this? If so, could you do a video addressing it??

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Thanks for asking. Basically , the fin that you see in this video is removed and it is just a screen which allows the air to blow straight down. It did help with the cooling of the A/C unit. I will do a video showing it for you.

[@randymercer8461]

@@TheAirForceGuy Thanks.. We contacted our dealer and there is in fact a recall to perform the mods. My hope is that my unit wasn't damaged due to running it with a lack of airflow.. We shall see...

[@randymercer8461]

By all means please do a video on the issue to alert other T@B owners that there is a problem.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Will do. Thanks!

[@bryanmcdonald7709]

@@TheAirForceGuy Did you happen to post a video of this mod?

[@jtlong8383]

Hey Paul, my Air8 owners manual says the unit is 6,000 btu, not 8,000.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Thanks for the heads up. I was told it was 8,000 the first time I spoke with someone at Elwell Corp as well as a few other things that are not correct. My second call they told me it was 6,500 btu's and needed to get back to me after he got back in the office. Unfortunately, I have not heard back from anyone and still waiting on some answers to a few other questions. Will update once I get answers. Thanks for Watching!

[@themonalisamigration8401]

Hi Paul, thanks so much for all the informative videos you're putting out! Is the A/C unit located beneath the bed in the (2020) Tab 400 as well?

[@TheAirForceGuy]

yes in the 2020. but in 2021 they went back ton the cool cat.

[@deberickson2974]

Hi Paul, I have a 2021 Tab 320S and we are new to having an RV. Thus far have only used shore power camping but would like to get in some boon docking. We did not get the Boondock model because we wanted to make sure it fit into our garage height-wise so don't have solar. I am looking at either getting a solar package added or getting a solar generator. Interested in one large enough to be able to use the AC but have no idea how to use a generator to do that. Any tips??

[@SunnyFly100]

AC consums around 1200W. Your generator (solar or gasoline) should be able to provide that amount of power constantly (not just peak). If you buy lithium packages, it's around 2kw in usable batteries (100aH * 2 batteries * 12V = 2.4kW). So, ac can constantly run for about 2 hours in theory (in practice, not more than 1.5 h) . That is constant run, by the way.

[@jmpattillo]

Those bottom grills will need mud or splash guards. Also prime territory for dirt daubers

[@robertoherrera59]

Hi Paul, thanks for the video. Do you know if the SoftStartRV will be a good option to help the Air8 ??

[@exploringcolorado720]

Tried installing Softstart today on my Air8 with no luck.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Probably not

[@TheBashfulClam]

I got my 2021 unit a few days ago. AC doesn’t cool and turns off after 3 or 4 min. E7 error. I took it in. They said it as a wire. I didn’t believe it. I had already told them the AC appeared to be misplaced and maybe moved in transit. They said that was totally normal and you should be able to see the outside from the inside of the camper. I knew that was wrong. I moved the unit over so the exhaust feeds out instead of back into the camper like it was. Now I have super cold air. Obviously I need to leave a really bad review for the dealer BUT what can I do now to keep it in place. It isn’t securely in there. It’s now in place with the bars installed in the floor but I can see it bumping out on a rough road. Suggestions to keep it put? The blue strap doesn’t seem to do anything at all.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Call NuCamp. They redesigned how it is held in place and they should get you taken care of. Best of Luck

[@sersan19]

Paul, what's the main reason they went with the new ac unit. Looks way more expensive than a window unit. How well do they cool here in South Texas summer, I've heard they can't keep up (Window unit). I really enjoy your enthusiasm, good luck and God Bless.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

Thanks for Watching. It works well in the TAB 320, not so much in the TAB 400. They are switching back to the Cool Cat for Model year 2021

[@powderriver2424]

The only disadvantage, and probably no way around this unless customizing something, is water intrusion in heavy rain or wet conditions.

[@richardobannon6301]

So that means that the new air conditioner uses 200% more electricity than the window unit??

[@TheAirForceGuy]

The window unit used approximately 6 amps and the Air8 is 10.8 amps.

[@baileymoto]

Is it correct that I’m seeing 32a LRA (Startup amps)? At 115v, thats nearly 3700w. That’s getting up there in generator size requirements.

[@TheAirForceGuy]

This is only a 6,500 btu A/C. No it does not mean it draws 32 amps starting up. here is the information between RLA & LRA: LRA or Lock Rotor Amps in its unabbreviated form is the current draw of a motor when the rotor is locked. ... Comparing this to the RLA, run load amps, it becomes obvious that LRA is significantly higher than RLA. If a compressor is drawing it's LRA, something is very wrong. Hope this helps.

[@entropicdoom8018]

Paul, does this mean that the 2020 TAB 400 has a lower overall external height since the AC is not mounted on top?

[@TheAirForceGuy]

The T@b 400 never had a roof top mounted A/C. It was mounted up front under the dinette last year and before. Now it is moved to under the bed and the tongue weight is lower.

[@entropicdoom8018]

@@TheAirForceGuy my mistake, thank you. It was wishful thinking in hopes of fitting a TAB 400 in my garage. I am looking to sleep 2 adults and 2 kids while having a wet bath. I have 95 inches (7' 11") of clearance. We want a hard wall trailer, not a pop up tent trailer.
