Almost all of the time, it runs just fine.
Every once in a while, it will shut off and restart at what sounds like a slower fan speed. Then after a minute or two it will shut off again and restart at normal fan speed. Its almost like the rig is getting a drop in power from the pedestal but I have no way of checking that.
That's not good. It will eventually burn up your unit. Unplug the converter. This will allow the AC the full incoming power (your converter cycles as needed).
Explain your reasoning behind this statement. The converter only pulls at max about 3 amps. If you unplug your converter, then your RV will go dead from the battery going dead after a few days. The Converter has NO BEARING on RV roof AC operation. Doug
Actually in my last trailer that's exactly what I had to do to get through a 4th of July weekend where the park had very low voltage, turn off the converter during the day as that kept the voltage just high enough to not trip the EMS. I flipped it on before going to bed and off in the morning. Also ran the fridge on propane the whole time.
