Good morning I am the owner of #751
I have 4 roof AC units. When all slides are extended while parked AC is adequate. However when traveling with 8-10 guests the cabin heats up. Most of the vents are compromised when the slides are all retracted? Has anyone experienced this? Probably. Does anyone have a solution for this situation? Thank you

Wow 43 looks and no one has this problem with their coach or no one has solved it?

You will find the vast majority of users on this group have coaches that predate quads with roof A/C, not all but most. My suggestion would be to contact Newell as they are the only ones dealing with this at scale on late model coaches to see if there is anything that can be done. My coach has two basement A/C's and one Newell installed roof A/C, but it's not ducted per se, it just vents directly into the room from the unit as it's not in between slides, it's back towards the kitchen. That would be a bummer for sure if you can't stay cool going down the road.

I travel during nice weather to avoid the heat. (Seriously) Mine gets hot from driving too. It's a battle against 110º Arizona air temps fighting the a/c systems.

Thanks they are all new and two of the units were new last year. But that’s a good thought. I need to try to rig some temp duct work when slides are retracted. The air gets trapped in the slides. The one I previously owned was pre-slide and did fine. You had the first slide unit if I’m not mistaken.

Early on Michael and I thought #458 was the first slide coach but later would discover a few '96's had them, #458 was late in the '97 model year.

While not a direct answer, my 3 slide (2 living room, 1 bedroom) 4 A/C unit coach has computer fan vents built into the cosmetic ceiling of the front living room slides. When the slides are in, they’re in the right position to circulate the front A/C units output.
I can post pictures if desired. I’m still sorting my A/C’s out, but the extra fans seem to really help.

Oh wow that sounds like a workable solution. Pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
