Weekend Warrior 5th wheel A/C issues
Hi,
I have a 2008 with dual a/c's. Not to long ago I had an issue(s) and wanted to run it by you guys that might have an idea. I ran both a/c units for a total of 6 hours. The a/c units cycled as normal during the day. The selected temp was ~70-72* and for the most part the units did fine. The bedroom a/c started to act up first by blowing warm air (with the main a/c following suit shortly after) so I cleaned the intake filter which seemed to do the trick (I think). The main living area a/c started acting up next. The air coming from the vent was warm.
I disassembled the main living area a/c and found the condenser fan motor leaking oil from the shaft so I bought a new one that I will be installing soon. Only thing I can assume is the motor is starting to seize and not cooling the condenser.....but something tells me that is not the issue, but I figured since the a/c units are not serviceable with my home gauges I should try something obvious first.
As far as I can report the bedroom a/c is working correctly, but it is hard to tell since we normally only do winter camping. I will be headed to AZ in June and the last thing I need is the a/c's to take a cr*p on me and be miserable.
Is there anything you guys can recommend I look into/change before I bite the bullet and take it to an RV place where I am certain they will bend me over on repairs.
Thanks a bunch
