We improved the cooling performance of our RV air conditioners by 44% AND made them quieter. Now you can improve yours, too.

Introducing the a/c connect by koolrv ®: the solution to optimizing your rv's cooling.

Did you know that your RV air conditioner isn't directly attached to your vents? That's right, the air from your air conditioner actually blows into an open space in your roof called a plenum. This design has a significant drawback when it comes to efficiently cooling your RV. The cool air tends to swirl around in the plenum, struggling to find its way into the slats on the sides that lead to your vents. This is the primary obstacle preventing your RV from achieving optimal cooling!

The A/C Connect by KoolRV® was designed specifically to address this weakness. Our innovative system securely connects to the cold air supply of your A/C on one end and directly links to your ventilation system on the other. By doing so, it eliminates the wasteful turbulence in the plenum and ensures that 100% of the cool air is efficiently distributed throughout your RV. Our system also reduces back pressure that can cause your cold air to warm before it even enters your ducts. A recent test by a customer showed a cold air temperature improvement of 5-10 DEGREES COOLER PER DUCT in a before and after comparison. (Watch the video here)

Prior to installing the A/C Connect system, our stock A/C setup was able to lower the inside temperature by 16 degrees compared to the outside temperature. However, with the installation of the A/C Connect system, our temperature now drops by an incredible 23 degrees from the outside temperature! This represents an impressive increase of 44% in cooling efficiency !

That's not all. The A/C Connect offers another significant benefit: easy installation . Your system comes fully assembled. All you need to do is insert one end into your A/C and the other ends into the vent openings. To prevent any air leaks, use the included HVAC foil tape to secure the vent adapters in place. It's that simple!

Stop dreading those hot summer days when you should be out enjoying them. Order your A/C Connect by KoolRV® today!

Ridgeryder travelkool 22 litre cooler warmer thermo cooler review.

Listing Details

Description.

Will the RidgeRyder TravelKool 22Litre Cooler Warmer prove to be any good?

I was really impressed with the overall performance of this inexpensive Ride Ryder product from SuperCheap Auto.

My YouTube video above.

The 22litre compartment is ample enough to hold 30 375ml cans, and you can stand normal 1.25litre bottles upright easily. If you have the need to carry 2litre bottles, these will fit laying down.

• There are two external power sockets one for the 240 volt mains, and a 12 volt one.
• Two power leads are also supplied, one for each socket.
• Another thing I liked was the addition of a 2amp USB charging port, so you can charge your mobile devices on the move.

Using the RideRyder TravelKool as a fridge

The cooling is remarkably good, with the internal temperature dropping around 20 degrees from the ambient room temperature of 24 degrees, to 5 degrees internal compartment temperature, which is 3 degrees cooler than my main household fridge (runs at 8 degrees).

The most amazing thing was just how cold the inside compartment managed to get in only a few hours time from plugging into the power source.

Don't forget this is a Thermo Cooler, and not a refrigerated product, so that makes its performance even more impressive.

It only costs a fraction of the price of a refrigerated unit, and not that much more than a non-powered quality Ice Box.

Using the warming feature of the RidgeRyder TravelKool.

The internal area heated to around the 55-60 degree mark very fast, so carrying a pre-cooked meal to your picnic area will not present a problem, as long as you have the  Ride Ryder TravelKool connected to your 12volt car battery plug outlet.

This RidgeRyder product works extremely well, and proves to be great value for your money. Its looks very nicely made and plugs direct into a  12 volt car power socket, or 240 volt mains supply.

The RideRyder TravelKool 22Litre Cooler Warmer was selling on special at $214 from Supercheap Auto at the time of this review.

Ridge Ryder TravelKool 22 Litre Review

Brought to you by Garry Purcell

This product review is brought to you by Garry Purcell.

Ridge Ryder Travelkool 22L (cooler/warmer) Review

Whether tackling tough tracks in the thickest bush or battling loose sand at the beach, nothing beats a cool, refreshing beverage after a hard day out in your 4x4. Outfitting your 4x4 rig with the right cooler is a must if you want to kick back with refreshments when you get where you’re going, but choosing the right setup for your needs can be daunting. Before you buy, check out what camping and caravan veteran, all-round DIYer and reviewer of a whole host of interesting things, Garry Purcell, has to say about the Ridge Ryder Travelkool Thermocooler .

Learn more about getting the most out of your coolers and fridges Click Here.

Before we get stuck into the nitty-gritty details of the cooler, Garry checks out the packaging. The first thing to note is the feature list on one of the ends of the box. There is a list of specifications - including the external dimensions, capacity and weight, as well as the insulation, voltage ratings and a few other important details. These are handy to know ahead of time when you are outfitting a caravan or other vehicle where internal space is at a premium.

Alongside these specs, there are a series of photos showing some of the more interesting features. One of the most interesting of which is the included USB outlet - allowing the user to charge a phone or device directly from the cooler while it is plugged into the vehicle. Another neat feature is the viewing window, so you can keep an eye on proceedings without needing to open the lid and affect the internal temperature.

After opening the box, Garry artfully removes the cooler from the box so we can see the cooler in all its glory. On the front panel, there is a temperature display, as well as the on/off buttons, temperature controls and the aforementioned USB outlet. The power inlets are on the right-hand side, and inside the cooler are the included power supply cables as well as a handy carry strap.

The power supply cables have different plug shapes, so you know which one to use where, and the cooler can be run on 240v mains as well as 12v from your vehicle’s accessory power socket. The power supply to the cooler will automatically switch from 12 to 240-volt power when it detects mains power and will switch back to 12v charging when mains power is unavailable, saving you from potentially forgetting to manually change the cables around if you change the power source in a caravan for example. Garry quickly attaches the included carry strap, before plugging the cooler into mains power and turning it on for the first time to test the cooler out.

Testing the Ridge Ryder Travelkool 22L cooler/heater.

With 240v power plugged in and an ambient temperature of 24 degrees, it’s time to turn the cooler on and see how well it works. It’s important to note that for effective use it is best to cool the unit down overnight before you use it, so it is pre-chilled and will more effectively keep your goodies nice and cold. While the cooler works away, Garry checks out the USB by plugging in his phone. It immediately starts charging - very impressive and super handy. After around 3 hours, the temperature in the cooler has dropped right down to around 5 degrees celsius - already 3 degrees below Garry’s own household fridge.

Next, it’s time to test out the heating capabilities, so Garry switches the unit off and lets it return to the ambient temperature of 26 degrees. He turns it on and adjusts the temperature up with the buttons on the front panel. After only half an hour it has reached a hearty temperature that maxes out Garry’s poor thermometer at 50 degrees. He starts again with a proper kitchen thermometer that goes high enough to measure the internal temperature of the unit. From an ambient temperature of around 27 degrees, the cooler/heater gets all the way up to 60 degrees - more than enough to warm your pies!

Testing the Ridge Ryder Travelkool 22l capacity.

Now that the heating and cooling capabilities have been proven, Garry moves onto the most important test of all - cramming as much stuff into the cooler as is possible. It’s a good idea to check the fitment of commonly shaped and sized containers since the internal dimensions tend to have more impact than the actual volume you have to work with - especially when dealing with taller bottles, or larger containers. Although as we’ve previously discovered, the cooler/heater could be readily used for anything from chilling your egg sandwiches and iced coffee to keeping the turkey hot on the way to your campsite Christmas dinner, unfortunately, for this test, Garry only has beverages on hand. Quite a few beverages though, so you can get a good impression of a real-world practical use for the cooler/heater.

To test out the actual storage capacity of the Ridge Ryder 22L unit, Garry begins by standing a 1.25L bottle in the cooler and is able to close the lid. However, a taller 1.5L bottle won’t fit standing up, so instead, it needs to be placed in the cooler on its side. Similarly, a 2L bottle can’t fit standing up, but will comfortably lie down in the cooler. Next up is a 24 pack of Cocacola cans and to Garry’s surprise, the whole pack fits inside, box and all! When free from their cardboard box, a pack of 24 cans as well as either a 1.25 or 1.5 Litre bottle can be stuffed into the cooler - meaning that plenty of refreshments of all sorts can easily be cooled at once.

Garry’s conclusion.

The Ridge Ryder Travelkool 22L cooler/heater heats up to 55-60 degrees, and dropped to 20 below the ambient temperature (3 degrees lower than Garry’s home fridge!) While the cooler is capable of dropping up to 25 below the ambient, of course, this will depend on a range of factors so as far as coolers go, this unit “definitely gets a thumbs up from me.”

It fits a generous number of drink containers, of various sizes too. Of course, if this isn’t quite enough, Ridge Ryder also offer a larger cooler/heater - capable of storing a real banquet (and a smaller one for carrying the snacking essentials or supplying light eaters) so be sure to check out the entire range of Ridge Ryder gear in store or online, exclusively at Supercheap Auto - and find the perfect cooler/heater as well as a whole lot more useful equipment for your camping and 4x4 requirements.

Keeping Your RV Cool Just Got A Lot Easier

Published on July 10th, 2023 by Patrick Buchanan This post was updated on June 7th, 2024

KoolRV Has Revolutionized RV Air Conditioning With Their A/C Connect

Very few RV owners would call damaging their RV air conditioner on a low bridge a “lucky” occurrence. It’s one of the reasons RV LIFE Pro is so well-known and well-used by RV owners everywhere. In this case, however, an altercation with a low bridge revealed to Don Rohacek and Deanna Monet exactly what’s wrong with today’s RV air conditioners and how keeping their RV cool could be made easier and more affordable.

In the aftermath of removing and replacing the damaged AC unit, Don and Deanna saw an opportunity to improve the airflow generated by RV air conditioners by as much as 44% or more. Having looked at similar products in the past that were simply too expensive, Don figured he could build a more efficient version for far less. With the help of family and friends, a dream was born. Now, keeping your RV cool can be done easier and cheaper with KoolRV’s newest innovation: A/C Connect .

Improving your RV’s air conditioner

One of the biggest challenges for RVers is staying cool on hot summer days. Did you know that your RV’s air conditioning design may make it difficult to stay cool? Your RV air conditioner isn’t directly connected to the vents. Instead, the cold air goes into a space in the roof called a plenum. But this design isn’t the most efficient for cooling your RV. The cold air gets stuck in the plenum and doesn’t flow easily to the vents. That’s why your RV might not be getting as cool as it could be.

You can see in the image above that without KoolRV, cold air hits the plenum at an inefficient 90-degree angle. Eventually the turbulent air makes it’s way down the channel. With KoolRV however, the turbulence is avoided and cool air is thrust more efficiently where it needs to go.

How does it work?

The innovative KoolRV A/C Connect was designed to specifically counter the inherent weakness in traditional RV air conditioning setups. It works by forming a secure connection between the cold air supply of your air conditioning unit and the ventilation system in your RV. This direct linkage eliminates the inefficient turbulence that occurs in the plenum, ensuring that 100% of the cool air is distributed throughout your RV in the most effective manner.

The A/C Connect system’s installation is as straightforward as its concept. Once it arrives fully assembled, you only need to fit one end into your A/C and the other into your vent openings. To avoid any potential air leaks, the package includes HVAC foil tape for you to fasten the vent adapters securely.

As evidence of its impact, consider this: Before the installation of the A/C Connect , the stock A/C setup could reduce the inside temperature of Don & Deanna’s RV by 16 degrees compared to the outside temperature. Now, post-installation, the inside temperature drops by a remarkable 23 degrees, demonstrating an impressive 44% increase in cooling efficiency. It truly doesn’t get any simpler or more efficient than this!

Start keeping your RV cool

Don & Deanna’s core belief is that by delivering affordable, top-notch products that cater to the needs of RV enthusiasts, they will foster strong support and loyalty of the RV community as they expand their business. The KoolRV A/C Connect is available for the following models:

• Coleman Mach 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, & Model Q
• Dometic Brisk II Evolution, Blizzard NXT, FreshJet, & Penguin II

KoolRV also addresses those RVs with a single row or “north/south” duct configuration. In their testing, they saw significant increases in efficiency for this cooling setup (chart below). Visit koolrv.com today for more information and make sure your RV is cool and ready for the season.

26 thoughts on “keeping your rv cool just got a lot easier”.

We installed one in our 2019 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV, it greatly reduced the interior sound of the AC and distributed the cool air throughout the coach a lot better.

I purchased and installed the unit and found that it DID reduce noise but didn’t inprove temepatures to any noticeable degree.

Actually, they have. GrandDesign started putting this A/C AirFlow units in their high line RVs in 2022, and my budget Reflection 150 has one fron the factory as a 2023 model. The improvement in airflow and the reduction in noise is nothing less than amazing. I had a Heartland. Big Horn (2014 model) and you could not watch TV for the noise from the A/C. Very similar A/C, same size and design. Check it out, it’s a game changer.

We have. 2010 Rockwood signature ultralite by Forest River. I believe the air conditioner is a domestic. Will this work for us?

watch the demo on utube

Any idea when the new one will be available for the furrion units

How much is this? Where do I get it?

So no quick cool down where the unit is.

Not for any ducted A/C units, never owned one that was not ducted.

I built my own AC connect/Rvairflow with a $10 piece of foam insulation board and some foil tape. Check out youtube for instructions.

I did the same, it was an easy project with some foam board and aluminum tape from the home improvement store. The goal is to divert the cold air directly into the ducts. As Pete said check out YouTube for instructions. It works great.

Can you post a link?

Can you give us a link?

Could this help with airflow on a ductless Coleman Mach

Great concept, but it will only work with ducted AC setups. However, you could modify very easy the basic idea on your own to make it work with un-ducted units.

This concept is great……..buy it seems to only work with one style of roof top AC ducting. In my 2021 5th wheel trailer I have two AC units. The ducting is concealed between the roof and the ceiling and ducted to round supply vents. The return vents are one for each unit. Is the something this company suggests for my design?

What’s the difference between this and the RV Airflow that came out a few years ago? They seem to do the same thing.

So how will this work on a ducted system?

How am I supposed to get into that roof space to connect the ac ducts to the vent openings? 2015 Forester.

Interesting. The week after I install a RV Airflow system, I see this article. It’s OK, I needed one for a Dometic, and apparently that’s still in the works at KoolRV.

Coincidentally, I find it strange that every one of my favorite YouTubers that has posted a video about RVAirflow has a Coleman AC. None of them have Furrion or Dometic ACs. I just find it interesting is all.

One more thing… Does anyone make a kit or plate to convert the now ducted-only AC to use a standard pleated media filter, instead of those silly screens or foam inserts? Maybe even a 12×12 or 14×14 electrostatic filter?

What does it cost

I had a similar issue with weak cooling and installed the RVAirflow in the plenum. The improvements were significant, with a nearly 40% increase in average airflow. The function of A/C Connect appears to be about the same, and it’s installation seems notably simpler. I suspect it delivers similar improvements in airflow. Great to see these innovations. I just wish the manufacturers would incorporate these innovations on their own.
