Can anyone please help? I bought a used Winnebago Journey (2009 34Y) and the air conditioner is not working. After researching the problem, a tech discovered the #2 compressor was bad. To make matters worse, the #1 compressor is not cooling much at all ( 2 stage system). This is a Coleman "basement unit" (6538-751)made by RV Products and after contacting them, they tell me that this unit is not made anymore. My ac guy has replaced the #2 compressor with what they suggested (1450-2149 made by Tecumseh) but can't find the proper start capacitor to get it going......Tecumseh says it doesn't need a run capacitor like the old compressor. Anyway, I'm going crazy trying to get this fixed or find another solution. I'm looking for someone who has experienced this, or found a good solution. I'll even take suggestions on who can fix it! I do not want to go to rooftop units as this coach has duct work in the ceiling and I would have to abandon it......which would leave the bathroom without any air. Can anyone please help me? Thank you
strikes me odd that the AC compressor and the starting capacitor both failed at the same time and if the guy has enough brains to replace a compressor yet cant figure out a capacitor that will work???
