Is it possible to simply rewire the A/C units to use the same thermostat as the furnace so that it can only be one or the other?
Most modern roof-top RV A/Cs are usually designed to work with a standard heating/cooling thermostat.
The units do not have a wall thermostat which is something I like. I can turn the unit on & off change modes and set temps while sitting in bed using a wireless remote( range about 10 to 15 feet)
The problem is that I have a front and rear A/C, both operate in A/C, fan, heat pump,furnace, and dry mode. Part of the problem is the front is not working in A/C / heat pump mode, but it does work in furnace mode. At night if I need heat I turn on the front furnace, but in the morning I have to use the rear unit because the front A/C does not work. If I forget to turn off the front furnace before I turn on the rear A/C the two units will be fighting with each other one trying to cool and the other trying to heat.
I just got this RV a few weeks ago and am waiting to get it fixed under warrantee. I ordered the parts at Camping World in Hanover PA but since it would take over a week for the part to come I drove to NY and am getting it fixed on the way home.
I am ready to drive home but the service department is booked up till Monday 7/1/13 so I am staying here till Sunday. Hopefully I will be home in time to be the 4th of July traffic and party with my neighbor at home.
