AC Issues - Sorry long.
Our AC had been cycling off and on and not cooling efficiently. We called the RV Repair guy who discovered that one of our air vents was closed. They are circle ones and hard to tell if open or closed...

It runs for awhile and cools. Shuts off and immediately starts again. Runs for a short time and then shuts off again. Immediately starts again. Not sure if this is called cycling. You hear the fan come on first and then the compressor seems to kick in. Cold air flowing. It runs for about 3 minutes then it completely shuts down. Then it starts again.
There is cold air blowing when it is on.
If it is the thermostat, would that affect the furnace as well?
Thanks for all your suggestions. It would be nice if it wasn't the Freon. We have never cleaned the ac unit after 4 years wintering in Florida. We do have the rig serviced every year but my guess is, that has never included cleaning the air conditioner. We obviously need to do more research about what rv maintenance should include. When you can't do it yourself you rely on the people in the know to tell you.
We are learning.
That is not a freon problem. Sounds more like a thermostat problem.
Have you tried changing the temp on the thermostat and see if it still happens at different settings?
And did you check the coach battery and the connections?
I would definitely not use the service guy you had out. All his vent suggestions sounded like he didn't know what he was doing. If you are at a CG go up to the desk and ask who they use for Mobile Repair. The stupid ones don't last long being allowed in the park.
Hang in there it really doesn't sound like it's a serious repair.:C
