"RV owners shouldn't have to shout over an AC unit just to stay cool," said Jason Ingram, Managing Member of MRCOOL®, LLC. "We've dropped the noise level down to 55 decibels, compared to the louder industry models running at 60 to 70 decibels. And whether you're staying at a national park or crossing the desert, RVers will enjoy the same residential-grade comfort our homeowners expect."
A Booming Community Deserves Better Comfort
The RV lifestyle is no longer a niche pursuit. According to the RV Industry Association's 2026 Summer Travel Survey, 37 million Americans planned to go RVing over the summer, enticed by flexibility, affordability, and the desire for greater control over their travel experiences. The North American RV market alone is projected to grow at 8.25% CAGR through 2031, reaching $35 billion.
RV shipments are forecasted to hit 349,000 units in 2026, marking a third consecutive year of growth. Younger buyers are increasing in number, and RVshare's 2026 Travel Trend Report found that travelers are prioritizing comfort, value, and personalized experiences more than ever before. RV owners expect the same energy-efficient climate control performance they have at home, without the noise, bulk, or energy drain of legacy rooftop units.
The $1.1+ trillion outdoor recreation economy drives demand for residential-grade RV innovation. TravelCool™ by MRCOOL® sets a new benchmark for outdoor living and meets this need with whisper-quiet, energy-efficient camper climate control. This next-generation RV air conditioner transforms extreme environment travel, enabling adventurers to explore further, stay longer, and enjoy simple comfort.
