1. 32 RV. A 15k will NOT cool the RV adequately in temps over 85 degrees. PERIOD. You need 2 AC units in RV's over 27 foot. Especially since Slide Outs are almost standard in Trailers. Do you have a slide out?
2. IR temp guns are NEVER used to determine Air temp in a AC system or a Refer system. You must use a digital thermometer to determine air temps.
3. The ONLY correct test on the performance of a AC unit after all variables have been verified(coils clean/filter clean/divider gasket) is a temp corrected AMP draw of the compressor.
4. RV AC units only hold about 1 lb of coolant. So, if you do have a leak, it will either cool or not. Not partially, as the coolant will have leaked out enough to not work at all. Doug
CORRECT. BUT, WHY would anybody have an Analog Thermometer in this day and age??????? Also, Analog Thermometers HAVE to be calibrated to be accurate. Having an Analog Thermometer is like having a needle display Multi tester. Doug
