Air Conditioning cycling on and off
Hi all, On our 01 Monaco the front air conditioner seems to work fine for say an hour after we set up. Then the A/C will shut down for a couple of seconds, then start up for a couple of seconds a...

Hopefully we got the problem solved. A/C has been running during the heat spell without any problems. It seems to have been a combination of several things:
1. There was a short in the plug in the cord from the electrical box that required buying a new dogbone adaptor and extension cord.
2. The a/c had gone through so many on off cycles it wore out (8 years old anyway). The a/c had a heat pump and in addition to the power going on and off, the a/c was cycling back and forth between heat pump and air conditioning. Manufacturer said this is not repairable. This required purchasing a new air conditioner.
3. The transfer switch on the house side (generator side was ok) was failing causing the power to go on and off. I guess the connected surge protector was trying to keep the circuits safe. This required purchasing a new transfer switch.
The residential electricians did what they could, but Roger Ingalls of RBI Mobile RV repair was able to track down all the problems and get them repaired. Roger is very good at RV repairs and I have been using him for years. Highly recommend his services.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
