A/C & RV ready update
YEAH it's WORKING
we spendt the 4th visiting with friends at their residence
plugged the MH into his 50amp 120 shore circuit, and turned on the A/C
it took 5 or 10 seconds for it to get going, then worked all day
so this morning after reaching our destenation I fired up the genny, flip the switch and the A/C came right on, the genny hardly even twitched
I'm guessing that after a year of NON-use the compressor was stuck
and with a listed 63 amp LRA full load " not stuck' condition
there just wasn't enough juice to unstick it
it's the OLD adage 'use it or lose it'
excerise it at least once a month
i'm still going to order the SPPP6e and install it , as a percaution
in fact I might actually need it
it's only 80 degrees right now NOT the 102 from last Saturday
checked it again during ssupper time, 90 outside, parked in the shade
turned it on while cooking to cool the MH, set the controller to let compressor cycle on-off, the generator is working great, you can hear get a little lounder, but it doesn't bog or even burp
I do have switch problems, it only operating in ONE mode NOT all 3 modes, in the other modes it does nothing at all NO fan NO loading
looks like I'm in the market for a replacement control switch
or a schematic drawing so i can design a toggle switch panel
