2013 Montana Big Sky AC concern Model 3750FL
I have a question on the ac unit in our Montana Big Sky
Our bedroom AC is a 15000 BTU AC and it works fine with no complaints. Our kitchen AC is 13500 BTU and it serves the front of the unit also (Living room) It doesn't seem to blow out the air in the front ducts like it does in the rear, making it extremely uncomfortable in the front of the unit. It is so hot in the front we can't sit there in during the day time hours. At night it gets uncomfortable at times when we don't have fans blowing. The dealer says the AC unit is working fine, but they don't sit in the unit to feel what I feel during the day time. When they test it, it is parked under roof and the AC cools fine.
I am questioning the fact that our unit is advertised to have an attic. (3-4 inches of space between ceiling and roof) Well I noticed there is no duct lines in the front. AC is being blown into the ATTIC and it supposedly forced out the holes in the ceiling they call vents It lacks duct work in the attic to direct air. the holes in the rear are closer to AC thus being forced out first in my opinion.
I'm no AC guy or a rocket scientist, but to me that is like blowing the AC in your home attic and cutting hole in your ceiling of each room hoping it will direct air evenly in your home.
Can any one tell me if this is the way it is done in these units with so called Attics? If it isn't it would explain why we can't breath some days in our front with the AC blasting in the center and in the rear.
We have been back and forth with Keystone and our dealer no one is helping solve this problem. its still under warranty.
If any one has a 2013 Montana can you check to see if you have duct lines in your vents. it would not surprise me they forgot to put all the pieces together when they made our unit. These dealers and manufacturers have attitude many times.
When we purchased our coach, we were looking at two Montana's and the other one was noticeably cooler but I didn't check the vents to see if they had ducts. As a matter of fact the sales guys said he would have the techs look into that. we thought nothing more of it and decided to buy that one since we liked its layout more
Any help is appreciated.
