I ask because I want to prevent the AC from blowing humidity back into the cabin when the compressor cycles. IMO humid air is uncomfortable no matter how cool it is. I would rather make the cabin too cold and then shut the AC off manually, and then restart the AC manually after the head pressure has bled off.
The AC I'm asking about is the Coleman Mach 1 power saver 11k btu, with separate thermostat. Gordon's info on jumpering the thermo wire is just the kind of idea I'm looking for. As an alternative, if there was some simple way to make the wall thermo think it was 80* when it was actually 60*, that would be even better.
Provided sufficient shore power, I run a dehumidifier along with my AC. My tiny trailer has a 13500 AC, which is too much cooling for such a small space. It cools the cabin so quickly, it doesn't leave time to draw out humidity. It's probably designed to cool the cabin in Arizona or Florida heat, which I don't run into very often.
So I bought the biggest dehumidifier I could find for cheap (90 pint) and it runs along with the AC. Makes the cabin nice and comfy quickly.
