An update to original post
As an update, our Georgetown 270S is still being serviced (?) by Forest River at Florida Outdoors RV Center in Stuart, Fl. It has been there for over 2 weeks this stay and when I asked FR for status I was provided none.
Ford has replaced the condenser, compressor, dryer and expansion valve and has not gotten the in-dash A/C to function properly. Ford says it is not their problem.
It seems that the problem is in the FR supplied components and no tech has been able to determine how to fix the system.
The system has been over charged (5 lbs. +) in order to try to bring up the suction pressure. This just caused other problems and fixed nothing. We are told that the unit should have somewhere in the range of 2 lbs. + or freon. Ford stated that the unit has less than this amount upon their last service.
Looks like a solution to the issue will be a long haul. We are not ready to give up on this issue and suggest that any future buyer make sure that all systems function properly before accepting delivery of the coach. This may require the added expense of having a professional do a survey (as is typical on the purchase of boats).
Will keep the forum updated as we progress.
