RV Airflow Standard?

[mountainmike1111]

I am attempting to get in front of the summer travel season and with temperatures already practically 90 in AZ I was looking into an RV Airflow to help make sure the AC's are at their peak. As Stated on their site though, they say Alliance installs them straight from the factory.
Does anyone have personal experience and can confirm they do indeed have one of these systems installed on their Delta? I have found that Alliance doesn't always do for Delta as they do for the high-end 5th wheels, etc. I can't find anything in the features brochures either.

Just bought a 2024 Avenue a few months ago. One of the first things I did was check to make sure the ducting was proper, and it was. No blockage, no gaps and the optimizers were in place.

Good ole foil tape works wonders. $170 for a hunk of foam? WOW! That’s all I got.

I was thinking the same thing! ugh. I am hoping it is included, but I may just open mine up and check it and at minimum run tape around ducting and make sure that works. I found this winter I accessed my heater and found it untaped as well and added foil tape and that improved flow considerably to the ducts. I got my trailer in cooler weather, so I have yet to see how well the AC's truly cool things down.

I got the chance today to open up my AC ducting and confirmed there is not an RV Airflow installed. Now trying to figure out if it should be there or not so I emailed service to confirm. I was able to get some foil tape to clean up the ducting and make sure it was much tighter so I am hopeful this will help keep things cool this summer.

we have a 2024 Avenue 32 RLS with triple air conditioners. is there anything I should be looking for if I open this up to make sure ducting is correct? back in September when we picked up this unit it was 108° out here in Southern California and the trailer was struggling to cool. was thinking about installing the RV air flow. has anyone done this yet to the 32 RLS?

You will see a large foam block attached to the ducting to force more air into the ceiling ducts. Inspect the foil tape as well. I tore all of mine out and re-taped it because it was not sticking to the ceiling material and was leaking air into voids. I have not gotten an RV Airflow yet, but did confirm with Alliance that they do not include them in their Delta series. I am going to try the tape and see if that improves the AC performance on my next trip in may and I may then invest in the Airflow if I think I still will need it.
