Atwood thermostat loose connection

[bclinton]

I have an Atwood AC in my Georgetown. Since I have owned the RV I have noticed my thermostat randomly flickering and blinking. Mainly when I push the wall in slightly near the box. Lately the wife says she sees it flashing random leds when I am driving....I assume from the road potholes and the bumping. It works when it isn't on the fritz so I have just lived with it. I assume there is a lose connection in the thermostat. I have not tried to remove it in fear that I would make it worse lose AC all together. My warranty has about 4 months left on it but the dealer is hours away. I would like to remove it and see if I notice anything lose. Does anyone have this type and if you have removed it how did you remove it? It seems pretty plasticy and cheap so I didn't want to break it.

I actually just installed one a couple weeks when I added a second air conditioner to my Georgetown. Pull out from bottom and lift up. It has two upward facing hooks that it basically hangs on.

Perfect! Thanks million. Took it off and adjusted the wire and it seems to be fine now. I sure appreciate it. I was not headed in that direction and would have probably broke it

BTW....I use a portable AC from Lowes as the single AC is far from enough.....how was your install? Are you 30 AMP? Can you touch on your install process?
