My Dutchman Denali 5th Wheel has a Dometic Roof Air Unit

Almost all of the time, it runs just fine.

Every once in a while, it will shut off and restart at what sounds like a slower fan speed. Then after a minute or two it will shut off again and restart at normal fan speed. Its almost like the rig is getting a drop in power from the pedestal but I have no way of checking that.

That's not good. It will eventually burn up your unit. Unplug the converter. This will allow the AC the full incoming power (your converter cycles as needed).

Explain your reasoning behind this statement. The converter only pulls at max about 3 amps. If you unplug your converter, then your RV will go dead from the battery going dead after a few days. The Converter has NO BEARING on RV roof AC operation. Doug

Three amps is three amps. If the guy has no means of checking the amperage, then this MIGHT help to see if it is a low amperage connection at the pedestal. Having that 3 amps of power just might put the power above what is needed for the AC. The fridge can run on propane while he checks this.

You might try not being so pushy to all the people you reply to.
