RV air conditioners

Good luck with that "fix". You will be lucky to get a summer out of it.

The problem with the fix is the leak is still there. Something made the freon become low and the bullet valve did not fix that. The leak could be slow thereby giving you a year or two of gradually deteriorating cooling or it may only work for a week or a month.
What was done was not a repair it was just a recharge.

The bigger problem with the Carrier Air V is that Carrier got out of the business.. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I have two

Just aft of the compressor is what looks for all the world like a plumbing trap (like you find under a sink) the pipe comes out, then goes down, and right back up in a giant "U" shape then 90 degrees and continues on back....

This is a vibration trap..Works well but on mine the two lines were in contact and rubbed each other holy... Or is that HOLEY.. Techs did not wish to fix (So I upgraded) A/C #2 I got to em and fixed that problem BEFORE it became a problem.

I scrapped out the original roof unit and upgraded.. Advent air (China made) and I think Coleman both make drop on replacements for the top unit no need to change anything else save in the case of Advent air one electrical connector (The kit includes it).

I can tell you I was NOT a happy camper when it happened.

Worked out well though.. Another RVer with a Carrier Air V needed a new blower (the indoor part) and that was one of the parts I saved when I scavaged my old one. Yup, Late in the evening 30 miles from nearest RV store where you going to find that blower?? My basement.

I still think they could have easily fixed the original.

I had 2 Carrier V's heat pumps in my 2011 Open Range. They were not very reliable. From what I heard is that Open Range started manufacturing at about the time Carrier was getting out of the RV business and bought out their remaining inventory. Just before my 2 year warranty was up I got the dealer to contact Open Range about replacing them. Open Range agreed to replace them and the dealer called me and said that Open Range had agreed to send 2 new air conditioners. I told the dealer that I had paid for heat pumps when I bought the trailer and I wanted 2 new heat pumps. The dealer got them switched out for the new Coleman Mach VIII heat pumps. They used the Carrier to Coleman conversion kits. The inside unit is still Carrier with the remote thermostats. They cool and heat the trailer great. The only difference is they do not go into standby and automatically turn on the furnace when it gets too cold like the Carrier's did. I have to get up in the middle of the night and manually switch it over. Another future problem is if one of the remote thermostats stops working. They are no longer available.
