Roof A/C
My roof a/c worked fine on my trailer up until about a month ago. Now when I turn it on it runs constantly no matter where I set the thermostat. Also, before it went on the fritz condensationused to drip off the roof. No longer. Any ideas ?

- The lack of condensation suggests the Compressor is not Compressing or another issue with the cooling system.
NOTE: one BIG issue is the evaporator.. Last spring I parked in the area of Cottenwoods.. and very quickly my ACs failed. a quick trip topside and a bit of cleanign and they were 100 (actually 111% but that's a much longer story) percent again
Cotton wood "Cotton" is not the only condenser clogger.
But Running constantly suggests FAN MODE is set to High/Low (If the compressor is not running) Which is how I set my A/Cs for noise reasons.
Or a short on a T-Stat line (not likely but not impossible) - Thermostat ? Seems to work fine for the furnace.
- You just need to systematically troubleshoot. It's either the thermostat or control board, but we need a make, model and type of thermostat to give any meaningful help.
- Is the camper cooling down to set temperature? If not there is a chance the cooling coil is frosted up due to being dirty or dirty air filter. The air could feel relatively cold, but you may feel reduced airflow.

Sounds like the A/C itself is fine. I would suspect the thermostat.- It is blowing cold but will not shut down.
- Does it blow cold, compressor running, or just room temp, fan running.
Jerry - Does the compressor try to start?
