So I bought a 2016 cougar xlite 33 SAB for pretty much living out of for about 7 months a year for work. The camper has the upgraded AC unit in it. During the summer the AC unit ran all the time except at night when the temp would cool down outside. So I had a tech guy come out and he told me that the ac was working the way it should but the camper has too many windows with sun light coming in also that the whole camper only had 4 outlets for the air to come out and it was no able to breath enough to get the cool air out enough to cool the camper. So we are putting in 4 more vents and blocking off any place the air can get past the end vents. I also blocked the windows with bubble wrap insulation (that you would put around hot water tanks to conserve energy at home) that seemed to help some. Hope the other 4 vents will really help. It was already getting into fall by the time we got the vents in. I am looking at a different campground this year for work(less money per month) but I have to pay for my own electic. So I am wondering if any of you have put in a digital thermostat that I could set time for it to start cooling down the camper before I get there or not. I called they place where I bought it because they have it right now doing some warranty work on it and they said that you cant put a digital thermostat on it but I didnt know if they just didnt want to do it or not. So if you have put one on this type of camper what one did you buy?
