I guess the demand is driven by geographics. When I lived in AZ it was not unusual to have 100 degree nights. In TN, AL, KY I can't recall the last time I used AC at night. I also have owned multiple RVs and I guess just got accustomed they are loud. During the day we run the AC for the dog, but we're not inside, we're out and about:) We have an additional fan and I grew up in the pre AC generation. Good discussion.

This is a real problem for a few, and no big deal for many. If the number of pod owners that complain compared to the total members on this site are an indication it would hardly pay to make the mentioned kits. For me it is no problem. It cools the pod and doesn't keep me fom sleeping.

I sent them an e-mail and received a quick reply.............."We do not make a hush kit for Dometic ac."

I can't believe there are that many Casitas out and about. Sure I see one almost every time we camp out. But that's true of R-pods (and R-pod clones) as well.

Similar response to what I received. I guess they are just not interested in tapping a market such as us.
I think if everyone who has a Dometic AC were to email them, they might see that there IS A DEMAND for such a product. |

I contacted this guy to see if his Hush Kit would work on the Dometic. He says not. So I asked him if he'd consider building one for the Dometic AC we all suffer from and said there's likely quite a market for them.
Please email this company if you want to encourage them to do so. We'll see..... http://www.perfectcasita.com/fred.html |

Has anyone put a rheostat on the fan motor to slow the fan speed down? Any drawbacks to doing that?
