Bedroom A/C Issues
So we are headed out tonight and were setting up the 5er today.
Living Room's A/C Blows Siberian cold Bedroom is cooler than outside, but not anywhere the chilly cold of the LR.
The BR A/C worked Fine over memorial day weekend. Now, not so much.
Went up on the roof to take a look, all looks OK only thing I have noticed is the BR A/C is not draining water like the LR A/C is.
Any ideas out there?
TIA,
Bob

If the coils are clean and fan blowing like it should could be you have a refrigerant leak.

I.E. "not sweatin back" on the cold lines.
(ex was old school a/c repair...he could properly charge a unit with Freon by "feeling" the Freon lines)
I'd agree with Presley

Started another thread this morning just in case it is a different issue....now the LR A/C is whistling sheesh!
The rig is not even 8 months old...hard to imagine having a refrigerant leak in both units...
Gonna call the RV dealer at our destination to see if they can look at our rig...more to follow

Bedroom A/C Issues
:cry: July 4th camping trip a nogo...for some bizarre reason BOTH A/C units have failed. Coleman is already closed for the 4th and they can't get warranty parts until next week. :sigh:

Now you can mount your poles, pull the tops off the ac units, line them with reflexit and paint the outsides white. OR do what I plan on doing this weekend, NOTHING! Gotta practice as I'm signing with the pro's next week.

Don't cancel! Google "$15.00 air conditioner" and make up a couple of those for the trip.
wmtire saw it the first time I posted about it here, said he was gonna make up a couple...if he can do it I KNOW you can!

My AC isn't really cooling us, either. 92 inside, 95 outside. I'll call RVW on Monday to see about having it checked.

Weezer.....
I love small Family owned Alabama RV dealers!!!
When they saw how bummed we were, they got our the living room A/C partly!!! Repair (warranty) will happen next week. We have a fan to blow in the bedroom And AND AND.... When we got to the CG a wind was blowing over the TN river and the highs are only gonna be in the lower 80s this weekend and 50-60° at night WOOT!
Got here a tad late in the day (1745) but we are partly set up now and sipping adult beverages as the char su pork loin grills.
Some bean sprouts to have as a side dish and dinner is served on the shores of the TN river!!
Oh and before you say anything OC YES I am working on the awning support poles in the morning

Oh and Weezer, that A/C DIY is AWESOME!!
My only mod would be consider dry ice (still thinking about that though)
There IS a home depot nearby so if the temps do go up, I will do this (I have my drill and attachments for the awning pol mod )

I've heard that dog bark before, ependydad has had a set for over a year and comes up with every excuse in the world and they're still not mounted. You are starting to run a close second.
Weezer cracked the whip on poor Peter and he sat up and took notice and even put a fancy finish on both sets. She has 2 sets mounted now.
