Poor A/C air flow on Laredo 303TG
Wondering if anone else with a Laredo 303TG or possibly the 291TG is having A/C air flow issues with the back area. I have great flow from the front bedroom vent and it gets worse as I go back. There is barely a breez coming out of the back bunk room. Look forward to any input.
Thanks,
DTJ

Hi
The first thing to check is the ducting. Remove inside cover, make sure all foil tape is intact and sealing the air flow from entering the attic cavity. Next, make sure the intake and cool side of the unit has the dividercin place with no gaps. Next remove all ceiling vent louvers and make sure the foil tape is intact and smooth so no gaps and air flow restrictions. Finally, place a piece of foam pipe insulation or swim noodle in the duct just past the front and rearmost vents so that cooled air doesn't travel in the duct past the final vents in the duct run. Place foil tape over the foam to make a smooth false termination point. This should help make the ducting work more efficiently. If no improvement, then use a small mirror with a flashlight to peek down the duct in the ceiling and see if a duct is obstructed or collapsed..
I used these methods on my fiver when it was brand new and made a huge improvement.
Steve

Do you close off the vents at the ac unit? When our vents are open the air is very light at the back. Once the vents are closed the air flow is much more even

The flow didn't change when the 3 vents on the A/C unit itself were closed. Seems 95% of the air (aside from the unit vents) come out in the front bedroom. Even the 1st vent downline from the unit has minimal air flow.
