My bad. I too have lived out west and they really do work quite well out there. Out here, not so much. I just saw you were in Alabama and thought you asking how they worked so you could set up something similar.

I know. I live here. But I have lived in areas where swamp coolers work really well.
I want to know how his project worked out for him.

You have no clue what the RH level is you have never used one yet every time I have ever mentioned this topic you always say the same BULL and nobody checks you on it. BUT YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT A SWAMP COOLER AT ALL YET ON EACH THREAD TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF A EXPERT. NONE OF THE INFO YOU HAVE EVER PROVIDED ((ON THIS TOPIC)) AT ALL HAS PROVED USEFUL OR CORRECT EVER. I have not commented on my cooler project just to make 100% sure when I returned I would either provide info that it was useless or gloat how wrong you were. YOU ARE WRONG, and EVERY STATEMENT YOU HAVE MADE ABOUT THIS HAS NOT APPLIED TO ANYTHING REAL, accept in your fantasy mind where GMCs are the center of a universe. HERE IS A REALITY CHECK,...... A GMC doesn't make old people young again, add hair on your head or make you lose weight.
YOU DRIVE A REALLY OLD MOTORHOME. THATS IT. ITS NOT THE SPACE SHUTTLE, ITS NOTHING BUT A COOL DESIGNED REALLY OLD MOTORHOME THATS EITHER a tiny 23ft, or a tiny bit bigger 26ft. Your GMC doesn't defy the laws of the universe. Your GMC is a old motorhome. Its a big van with a toilet, and a little sleeping space. Get over yourself. It doesn't give you more hair on your head, or make you more manly.
You always want to appear as the master of all, yet your NOT bud. The air in the GMC with the swamp cooler on 24/7 is DRY! It doesn't spit out water its a super fine mist that disappears faster then it could possibly make the RH even a bit higher.

I'm thinking some people don't understand life in the southwest.
Picture in your mind a large plastic cup. Fill it with ice, then
water. Set it down, wait.
Does it leave a ring? No.
Is it covered in condensation? No.
Is there no ring, and only a hint of condensation at the level the ice
is floating at? Yes.
That is what the humidity is like in Las Vegas, not in the hot months.
I would expect it to be even worse then.
Swamp coolers should work great there. In much the rest of the
country, no, and you still need your cooling at night. Out in the
desert, the temperature drops fast once the sun goes down, much less
need of cooling.
Why can't we just get along?

Its been a ongoing tit for tat. My GMCs air was going to be dripping with such high humidity that it was supposed to be the new BioSphere 3 on wheels.

After living in New Mexico for the last 30 years, my brother loves when he can run his 'evaporative cooler' to keep the house comfortable. It's when the humidity rises and he has to use his AC (refrigeration in old parlance in the Southwest) that he complains how much more it costs in electrical costs.
Nothing wrong by using inexpensive, energy efficient technology when you can. I've always been sorry that we can't use such a simple system up here in the Land of Lincoln.

Maybe I should stop calling it a swamp cooler, and start calling it the more office name "evaporative cooler" Meaning it cools you while the water evaporates, not saturates the name turing it into a rain forrest.

Don't forget they are also called an Arizona goat box. I would agree with low humidity they work pretty good.

Surely this person can get a medical marijuana certificate? And perhaps toke up before s/he blasts out the next one.
And while s/he's at it buy a hygrometer and measure the humidity Before and After.

To All,
I think that we have exhausted all the necessary time we need to spend
on the Swamp Cooler information and issues. Unless there is something
new and exciting I think it is best for all involved to move on to
other subjects!

G'day,
I'm sorry John but it is clear to me that am the object of Michael's derision and I WILL be responding.
However, it will be to address the technical issues and won't be a personal attack.
At the moment I'm busy prepping Double Trouble for her "winter's nap" as I fly back to Australia tomorrow.

Have a good trip. It probably will take a few days to get acclimated to standing up side down with all of the blood rushing to your head again.
Thanks again for all of your help on my coach and with the window installations at the Amana rally. Without your help we would not have made it to the Amana rally with our coach.
Finn says hello also. It was his first rally.

Why is it ok for some who little clue of a subject to comment on so many topics yet know body checks him. I didn't join the forum yesterday, but have seen a ton of good people leave this forum because some people can type whatever they want, while others if they have a less popular view or a view thats opposite of a so called "guru" won't be tolerated.
Countless rants have been noted by many of us, yet know body says boo. I don't think the swamp cooler topic has been fully covered at all. I think that Rob needs to stop posting about it since he has never used one, yet knows everything about the subject all of which is completely wrong.
Rob did suggest the use of a "hygrometer" He got all in a huff that I mentioned he drives a old motorhome. These are old motorhomes, not "gods" But he suggested I use one. When I mentioned that this is a hobby, not the center of the universe I got kicked to the curb.
The swamp cooler topic is NOT a covered topic. If that was the case why do we have a forum. The same questions about TONS of topics have been covered over and over and over again. Rarely if ever does someone ask anything that hasn't been asked before. The answer to that question is because shared data from others is VERY HELPFUL and the forum keeps topics fresh with different point of views.
However some people are incredibly smart, yet argue points that are totally wrong, or when they comment nobody will ever check them.
TRUST ME EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM KNOWS THE KNOW IT ALLS THAT THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING. While these people add a ton to our knowledge base if you ever make a statement the disagrees with them watch out!
Lets all face it, I'm glad some take the GMC to levels that they do. But there are some who are late in life that have nothing to do but to become the GMC know it all, and in the big picture these people have nothing going on in life but this.
My rant can be summed up like this........ There are many roads often that lead to the same place. However if a person recommends a road that is different then the common one travelled on this site the "gurus" will make sure you look dumb for even suggesting it. Read some topics like rubber fuel lines! Why buying Chinese parts is so evil. You'll get a kick, you'll see some of the ignorance.
Very little of this has to do with Rob, but he once again thinks he is the center of everyone GMCers universe so right away thought it was all about him. Hummmm, wonder why he would have come to that conclusion??
Everything he has stated about swamp coolers have been WRONG. And if this is a forum and a member with a high post count makes WRONG statements they should be checked so others will know that person has no clue on the topic yet tries to sound like they are so smart they have to be right. Why would we end the swamp cooler topic just to pacify someone like Rob whos WRONG. Why not just tell him, ROB YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THIS TOPIC. That will never happen.
Lastly, if you think about it like this, my threads often get tons of views and post counts. If it wasn't for my alternative topics, people would still be talking about what oil to use. I like topics like, Silicone fixes tons of stuff! How I love my ultra white reflective paint roof (down to the corners and it looks terrific, How Wind Turbines make good investments, How much smell Onan generators produce and ruin the peace outdoors, and hum I can come up with tons more!

Actually Finn had acclimated and bonded to us (primarily Laurie) and is no problem now. He has a couple of strange quirks like not fetching but other than that he is a great dog.
I send Laurie to obedience school once a week and Finn accompanies her.

G'day,
I was going to prepare a point by point response to Michael's rant (his word), however, I decided I had better things to do with my
time.
For those of you that want to learn how evaporative coolers work here's a link to the Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler
As far as what I've noted about swamp coolers being incorrect goes I have noted two concerns:
1) In an environment where the ambient relative humidity is above 55% the amount of cooling obtainable drops off to a point that
would be unacceptable to most people. I support that statement with the link to the Efficiency Charts on the Turbo Kool website:
http://www.turbokool.com/cooler.html
Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
2) The statement below is on the same page just above the charts.
"This cool air must be allowed to flow freely through the RV or facility being cooled and out through a window, door or vent. If the
air is restricted the cooling will be less."
I noted that if you didn't leave the window open the humidity in the GMC will reach a point that will be uncomfortable.
I never said there was anything wrong with Michael's intended use of the Turbo Kool in fact I thought it was a good idea and
considered installing one on The Blue Streak here in Australia as the Outback is hot and dry. However, to remove the A/C unit and
install a Turbo Kool on a GMC that is going to be used to tour the USA where it would be exposed to a myriad of ambient conditions
would not be a good idea.
As far as the rest of the statements that Michael has made about me below I accept as that's his opinion of me and that's OK, as we
used to say when we were kids "sticks and stones". Furthermore as far as I know I have never made any kind of derogatory statements
about Michael.
Regards,
Rob M.
PS - By the way I worked on aircraft air conditioning systems in the USAF for 4 years and went on to work for a company that built
them called Hamilton Standard as a technical rep for thirty odd years. They also built the Portable Life Support System the
astronauts wore on the Moon and the Lunar Excursion Module Enviornmental Control System. I worked on both of them too.

Everything he has stated about swamp coolers have been WRONG. And if this is a forum and a member with a high post count makes WRONG
statements they should be checked so others will know that person has no clue on the topic yet tries to sound like they are so smart
they have to be right. Why would we end the swamp cooler topic just to pacify someone like Rob whos WRONG. Why not just tell him,
ROB YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THIS TOPIC. That will never happen.
Lastly, if you think about it like this, my threads often get tons of views and post counts. If it wasn't for my alternative topics,
people would still be talking about what oil to use. I like topics like, Silicone fixes tons of stuff! How I love my ultra white
reflective paint roof (down to the corners and it looks terrific, How Wind Turbines make good investments, How much smell Onan
generators produce and ruin the peace outdoors, and hum I can come up with tons more!

Rob,
There are some things not worth your time and are better ignored
completely. This is one of them.
JMHO,

Actually Finn had acclimated and bonded to us (primarily Laurie) and is no problem now. He has a couple of strange quirks like not fetching but other than that he is a great dog.
I send Laurie to obedience school once a week and Finn accompanies her.
