2017 364ts rear ac

We are on our first trip with our new Georgetown 364ts and we have noticed our rear ac is a lot louder than our front. It also seems to have a vibration to it. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue or if it means something is wrong with our rear ac. We have only owned this RV for about 17 days and this is our first trip with it so I don't have anything to compare it to but when we picked it up from the dealer I don't remember it being this loud.

It is not unusual for one AC to make a little more noise then the other as long as it is within reason. The vibration may be to an unbalanced fan or the hold down bolts not being tight enough. I would continue with my trip make a list of things that are a concern and take it to the dealer to fix them or explain why it is like it is.

Thanks SeaDog. My plan is when I get home to pull the shroud off and just give it a once over to see if it something simple. It is still blowing cold so we have 2 trips planned for August so I figured after 3 trips I will have a list for the dealer.

Just FYI.....NEW A/C's CAN BE BAD!
Under warranty get it checked, fixed or REPLACED. Factory replaced my main ac while under warranty.
Don't mess around with " major " components under warranty.

All it takes is one FR Rally visit and watch those Dometics being ripped out and tossed!

Two thoughts. 1) I had a very noisy A/C and upon inspecting the fan on the roof a mud dobber had made a nest on the fan blade on the roof. 2) since you are new (been there before, all of us). There is a slide switch on the unit by the air return. If it's open it bypasses the duck work and blows directly down. If closed it sends air through the duct work. We bypass the duck work when we first arrive and set up or are running down the road with the gen set running the a/c.

If the slide is partly open it will be louder. And I have had mud dobbers on both of my AC units fans blades. Not on this coach but another one. They love the fan blades.

Pull the inside cover off (4 screws under caps) and check the 4 bolts that clamp the AC to the roof. When I drove my Sunseeker home from the dealer, noticed similar AC noise and the AC bolts were loose. AC bouncing on the roof.
