Yes and unfortunately the fan starts before or the same time as the compressor.
When will they figure out it is ok to run the compressor ten seconds before the fan kicks on.
Or has this changed? I installed a new Dometic control box/digital thermostat a year ago and it starts the blower fan first by design.
Can this Dometic digital thermostat be used on the garden-variety, Dometic 13,500 BTU, non-ducted, rooftop units? Got a part number? All the units I've seen, the fan runs constantly, 24/7. It would be awesome to have the fan turn off with the compressor.
I've a standard 2 speed Dometic with the square box. There are 3 settings for the fan. AUtomatic, High, and Low. Automatic will run in the low fan setting it the thermostat setting is within 5* of the actual air temp inside, and if over 5*, it will start in the High setting.
Since I mostly run my 13.5 on the generators, I almost always use the low setting, it especially seems to help during the first AC start up of the day, which draws unusually hard on the pair of Eu2000i's, unless nothing else is running at all on the travel trailer. By all means, use propane, not electricity to heat your water, and perhaps turn the AC off when running the microwave, if you are heating something up for lunch or dinner.
