My .02 cents... you've been battling this for a couple of days and it's roasting out there. It would be worth the $75 for someone to come out and take a look at it. I think $75 is more than fair. A typical house call for A/C around me is $125.

Thinking I am agreeing with you on this. I have learned a lot more than I knew before, which was nothing, on how these things work.
1. I could buy a new rooftop unit. But if the control box is malfunctioning, I will be back in the same boat.
2. Rooftop AC's are expensive. Like really expensive!
3. Rooftop AC's do not seem that difficult to install, and the new Dometic ones are a lot lighter and more efficient.
4. I got reacquainted with my multimeter and various methods of measure electrical voltage. It had been awhile.
5. In the search for what is causing my problem, I found out that another Dometic product I have, which is the fridge, is part of a voluntary recall where I can get it fixed free of charge! I might use that as a bargaining chip with the service guy cause he will get paid from Dometic to put the fix in.
All in all, RVing has been eye opening, and frankly, if I had the income, I would just travel all over this country. Right now I am stationary while we build a house.
