Gentleman thanks so much for the information. Doug you are correct and I see your point there is no way for me to see if amp draw is correct. What I have done is pulling the thermostat worked it and finally got it to start clicking and watched it’s operation. I thought that was the problem but it did the same thing again. So what I am thinking is the following.
As I have stated I have (2) a/c units on this camper. One that is not having problems or cooling all the time services the main section of the camper and is ducted. This one has a wall thermostat And senses temperature better for the room. It runs non stop on the hot days of summer. The (2) one is the one in the bedroom that is cooling then blowing warm then cooling again.
Main a/c is Coleman mach 15,000 btu
Bedroom a/c is Coleman mach 13,500 btu.
What I believe is happening is the bedroom system is cooling maybe a 10x10 room only with (2) vents right off the a/c. The one side is blowing against the wall where it connects to the bathroom. So with everything else working right and the thermostat working, I believe it is cycling due to the a/c being to big for that area and recycling it’s on cold area at the unit.
So in other words blowing 55-57 degree air with a maximum of 1-1.5 foot from the door/wall. So that cold air is getting back to the a/c and cycling off the compressor. Now the room is 75-80 degrees but that’s the whole room. The thermostat cooper wore is on the return side which is facing the same way as the wall that cold air is hitting. While I may not be correct it’s the only thing that makes sense to me. Thoughts???
