In just the last 3 months 7 of my friends have their roof air units fail. 4 of the RV's were new. Has there been a design change? Have any of you seen a similar situation? Seems weird to me.
I work in the air conditioning field and its nothing more than the units are being built as cheaply as possible. Most of the electrical parts are foreign made and the copper tubing is very thin. Very few compressors are made here anymore.
We live in a disposable world now so any failure in warranty and they just replace the unit. Its now cheaper to build a new one than pay the labor to make a warranty repair.
The cheaper they make them, the more failures we'll see.
