A portable air conditioner provides many advantages for those who need additional cooling in their homes or offices. Since traditional air conditioning units are larger and fit in a window, they also require ventilation. A portable air conditioner does not require that someone places it in a window or cuts a hole in a wall for ventilation, ensuring that it is truly mobile and can be transported to any room that needs additional cooling. Since there are many rooms or buildings that are not designed for traditional air conditioning units, a portable air conditioner often provides the best solution.
Some typical uses for a portable air conditioner includes cooling a shed, garage, basement or warehouse as well as for use in places like RVs, trailers, and boats. However, a portable air conditioner can provide the cooling needed in any room such as a kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom. Since a portable air conditioner operates simply by plugging it in, it is the perfect way to make certain that you remain cool and comfortable in any environment.
Another advantage of using a portable air conditioner is the fact that the unit is on wheels. This ensures that if you need to continually transport the unit from one room to another that you can do so easily and without hindrance. This is especially important for those who work in warehouses that do not have traditionally cooling systems installed. A portable air conditioner can easily be rolled from one workroom to another without needing to lift the unit or manually transport it.
Today’s portable air conditioners feature many more luxuries that previous models simply didn’t have. For example, current models include digital touch settings and are also easily operated with a remote control. This makes it very convenient to ensure that your air conditioning unit is set to the perfect temperature at all times.
Portable air conditioners also serve as dehumidifiers and are a suitable solution for those who need to remove excessive moisture from an area. This is perfect for those who are in a working condition that they feel is a bit too humid or may be contributing to excessive mold growth. When looking for a portable air conditioner you should take into consideration how much moisture you expect the unit to hold and whether or not you want the unit to connect through a hose to expel moisture or to use evaporation technology.
When moisture is removed from the air, either through a dehumidifier, a traditional air conditioning unit, or a portable air conditioner the moisture must be expelled. When the moisture enters the unit it is turned into water. Traditional window air conditioners provide a vent where the water is allowed to drip out the back of the unit. Dehumidifiers often have a tank where the water is collected and then manually removed. However, new models of portable air conditioners use a technology known as evaporation. These units do not need to be vented or connected to a hose as they take the moisture and evaporate it through the use of a coolant. It’s important to take all of these pints into consideration when determining the best unit for your home or office needs.

Inspecting a travel trailer is not an easy task but you have come a long way already because you chose the type of travel trailer you would like to buy. You know the size, the type of layout and the amount of money you would like to spend.
When it comes to inspecting a trailer, do not let your emotions get in the way of your needs. Have a checklist of the things that are important to you when looking at a potential travel trailer buy. Just because a trailer looks sparkly clean and smells great from the inside, doesn't mean it will be your best choice. The following are top ten plus one things you should look for when inspecting a travel trailer (not necessarily in this order):
1. Towing vehicle - make sure your towing vehicle is able to support the weight of the trailer. Confirm that you are within the capacities of the trailer being towed. This can not be stressed enough. There are many trailers on the road that should not be towed by the vehicles that are towing them. This is very dangerous to you and vehicles around you and also the lifespan of your tow vehicle will be shortened.
2. Roof - the roof should be designed to keep water from leaking to the interior. Look for signs of water pooling. If you see lots of sealant applied be sure to check around the ceiling inside for signs of water damage.
3. Bathroom - inspect the shower frame by grabbing a hold of it and seeing if it's possible to rattle the frame? Some showers look great but don't hold up to the rigors of bouncing when trailer is on the road. If there is a shower tub make sure it has water tight enclosures. For your health and comfort you need a small power fan for venting the roof. Make sure it is in working condition.
4. Overall cleanliness of the inside of trailer - are you satisfied with the upholstery and floors or will you have to spend money to update? You may have to spend a considerable amount of money if updating, keep that in mind when negotiating for a price.
5. Appliances, including the water heater - If you can, turn the appliances on and make sure they are in good working condition. Look and listen for anything that seems suspicious. Listen for strange noises while the appliance is running, does it have a funny smell, or does it appear to be damaged?
6. Batteries - make sure they can hold a full charge and look for corrosion and leakage.
7. Inside - walls, fans, windows, storage compartments: Look for signs of leakage, in many cases this comes in a form of stains on the ceiling, walls, inside drawers and the floor. Are the ceiling fans in good working condition? Do the windows and doors open and close properly. You know there may be a problem if it is hard to close the door. Possible water leakage.
8. Converter - Most of equipment in a travel trailer are designed for 12-volt operation (except; microwave, air conditioner and anything plugged into 110 volt outlet). Converter is necessary when plugged into 110 volt campsite line to convert the 110 volts to 12 volt to avoid burning out wiring on 12 volt appliances.
9. Lights/brake lights: Are all the turning lights and brake lights working properly?
10. Tires: Make sure they are highway safe. Look for cracking, signs of misalignment and excessive wear.
+1. Propane; Look for signs of leaks and funny odors omitting from propane bottles.
Buying a used travel trailer is riskier than a new travel trailer, but the savings can be very significant. Consider your choice carefully and be prepared to do a little fixing up, because as we all know nothing is perfect. Happy traveling.

Take the time to do a little maintenance of your RV air conditioner. A little work now may save you lots of time and money later!
The first thing to look at is the filter. Dirty or clogged filters reduce air flow which can create freeze up, electrical, and efficiency problems. Also, dirty RV AC filters will allow dirt to get thru to the evaporator. The filter should be checked once a month during the season. Most filters are made of foam which are washable and reusable. Gently remove the filter and wash in warm water. Allow to air dry before reinstalling. Replace damaged filters with the correct size and type for your air conditioners’ make and model.
Check the evaporator. Unclean filters can allow excessive contaminants to be pulled through and build up on the evaporator fins. The build up insulates the evaporator and reduces efficiency, and can cause the compressor to overheat. You can usually see the evaporator from the inside of the RV when you remove the ceiling assembly and filters. Wipe off dirt with slightly damp cloth if needed. Dry before reassembling.
Next, climb on top of the RV and inspect the condenser fins. Carefully straighten fins that have been bent or crushed. Remove debris or bugs caught in the fins. This will increase efficiency by allowing better air circulation. While on top of the RV, look at your shroud. Check for cracks and make sure it is securely attached to the coach.
Plug your camper into a 30 amp outlet and turn on your air conditioner to test it. It is important to run your AC using at least 30 amps. Using anything less may do serious damage to motors, compressors and other components by providing insufficient power. Run your RV air conditioner for at least a half hour to check the fan and controls. Test cooling by placing a thermometer where the air is going into the filter, and one where the air is coming out. There should be at least a 20 degree difference with the compressor running.
Problems found during this quick check should be diagnosed by a qualified RV mechanic, using the proper meters and tools. The RV air conditioner is a sealed unit, and can not be repaired except at a repair shop with technicians trained to work on them.
