We bought our trav l trailer three years ago and I'm not sure if something is wired incorrectly or not because this was our first. Our trailer is a a Passport 2300BH and here's my question. Every since we bought it new when the AC is on the fan runs continuously. The AC cycles on and off but the fan runs all the time. Last month I spent a night in another trailer that of the same manufacturer but one size larger. His AC doesn't do that at all. AC looks very similar. So did they wire mine wrong at the factory? Thanks in advance.

All of the AC's we have ever had completely shut down when they reached the temp we set.Do you have the fan switch on the thermostat set to the, "Auto," position?

Our fan runs all the time on our roof air. The compressor cycles as needed.It's a stand alone without ducts, and all controls are on the unit.Brian

My fan runs all the time; the compressor cycles. It's a very basic AC unit with all the controls on the unit in the ceiling; no ducts. When I first got it I didn't like it; I didn't see the need for the fan to run all the time. So, I rewired it so the fan and compressor cycled on and off together. This didn't workout well. The camper would feel really hot and stuffy without the fan. Then it would all come on and cool it way down. Then, it would warm up and feel hot and stuffy again. Also, the noise coming on and off would kind of wake me up sometimes at night.I put the wiring back the way it was so the fan just runs all the time and the camper stays nice and cool.

My fan runs all the time as well. I just installed this unit a new to me carrier. Works real well. My old class c was the same way, fan on all the time.

My fan runs all the time, too. Makes for great white noise to block out the racket from those knuckleheads down the way who can't manage to observe quiet hours.
