Re: Air con - how cold should it be?

Never had a car that smells like a damp dog, with or without aircon. Perhaps because when the dogs are in then a window is always open.

Long term average mpg drops by about 0.5 with the aircon on in my car.

Just checked on the Ford Transit price list, only the basic manual air conditioning is available and that is £600 plus VAT. I suspect other base vehicles would be much the same.

MH builders have to pre specify their requirements and I suspect would not want to bump the price up that much. After all buyers can add Hab Aircon to their purchase.

That's true. I expect that explains why so many mh's have no aircon. Hab Aircon is a luxury (to me) but cab A/C a virtual essential. I expect after market fitment of cab a/c would prove pretty expensive.
