Forum Discussion
Tiffin has a few fixes.
1. IF the breaker panel is in the rear closet, you install an additional AC exhaust vent IN the closet if it does NOT have one. IF there is NO return vent (there usually is) you also install a return.
You also install a vent louver and cut a hole for that louver in the cabinet the breaker panel is in. If needed, you also install a tstat controlled 120 volt pc type fan to circulate air.
2. IF the breaker panel cabinet is in the right rear of the closet (pass side) and you have the chassis that has the muffler on the passenger side, you may have to have the bottom area of the cabinet foamed and insulated to keep the heat from the exhaust from migrating up. I insulate and then install a false floor and foam that floor in place to prevent any air/heat to migrate up.
3. Last, Tiffin has authorized and they now install on current models a 25 amp breaker for EACH AC in place of the 20 amp they originally installed.
4. Call Tiffin and see if they will auth a Tiffin facility to do any work under a Goodwill repair.
5. Does it do this ONLY in transit or does it do it parked? This problem is usually ONLY in transit. Doug
