AC Upgrade Recommendation for a 2016 Winnebago ERA 170A for a Quieter Experience

Question

Question:

We have a 2016 Winnebago ERA 170A and we’re wondering if there is a quieter rooftop air conditioner that would replace our current one Coleman Mach Air model 47258-879. Thanks for any suggestions, Vince

Hey Vince, thanks for reaching out!

The quietest AC system we have is the Fogatti InstaCool 135 II # FG49FR, rated for 62 dB. I'm not sure what your Coleman Mach system is rated for when it comes to dBs, but I know 62 is really low for an RV setup.

Staying cool while out camping is one thing; staying cool while enjoying the peace and quiet is another, and that's one of the biggest benefits of the Fogatti branded AC systems.

What do you think?
