Problems with Dometic Brisk Air II :(
Ugh...im at the last straw with the Dometic Brisk Air II and heres why:
We have a 2015 Palomini 179 BHS. Only 11 months old. And we are on our THIRD...yes 3RD Brisk Air II!!! *13,500 BTU
The first unit lasted 2 weeks after initially buying the camper. The ac air was only ab 12 degrees less than the return air. No problem. They switched unit out and we were on our 2nd unit.
With the 2nd unit: The ac air was ab 22 degrees less than the return air. However, the compressor would only turn on for 45 seconds every 12 mins!! And the forward air vent had ZERO outflow. Brought unit to another dometic dealer and he warrantied it out.
Now we are on a 3rd unit. With a 20 degree difference than return air, however, the compressor comes on for 45 seconds every 5 mins. With the remaining 4 mins being fan air. And it takes ab 40 seconds of compressor aor to reach 20 degree dofference. So we litterally have only maybe 20 seconds of comfortable ac ever 4 mins. Which still isnt enough to cool in this spring midday heat below 75 degrees when outside air is around 75. Is this normal function for the brisk air II?
*this my 3rd camper: had pop up with an ac that would blow u out cold....a 26 footer stick and tin with a very cold ac as well and lived in it comfortsble in south louisiana for 3 months during summer...so i think i have a feeling of how well these ac units should perform.
*we have put insulated vent covers, insulated the windows with the insulation foil stuff, we have checked every inch for possibe leaks, etc...cant figure it out. At this point im ready to sell the ac unit, take a few hubdred dollar loss and change brands.
Any suggestions would he helpful
