Added Reflextix to Roof A/C and Exterior Vent covers-No Not Me
No I did not do this but this is a thread from RV.NET that I have been following.

Kind of an original idea. Not so much the Reflectix in the vent covers but under the A/C shroud. I really cant see how it will hurt anything as long as the air vents are kept open. I do see it as an advantage to the evaporator core. A/C works off of pressure drop, it will keep the core a little cooler by a few degrees it might have a few lb pressure drop going into the core. I doubt it would be enough to cause problems (freezing) but don't really know if this could help make the A/C more efficient or cool better on hot days like we have had for the last few weeks.
What do y'all think??? If someone has tried this what were your results???
Haven't run this by my HVAC guy yet, maybe there are some HVAC people here?
After posting this I was going to add some pictures of some temps I shot over the weekend but keep getting an error code.
So with out the pictures I really am not sure I can expect anymore out the system. At the first register, I am getting 53.9F at the last one I am getting 59F.
