I installed a small A/C at floor level near the door in my Sunlite. In this spot I suppose there was an access door for a battery. I bought this camper because the former owner started the project and included the A/C. The unit starts but after about 15 minutes the compressor cuts out. Maybe several reasons: The shore line was only plugged into a house circuit; There is not enough ventilation in the truck bed behind the fins and the compressor overheats then the thermo protection circuit opens. After 15 minutes the compressor restarts (The blower continues to run). ( Could be the compressor was not getting enough voltage?)There is a circuit breaker GFI on the units OEM cord which is plugged into a 20 amp camper outlet. That 20 amp converter camper breaker did not pop. In fact no breaker popped. Thought my experience might help others. Any suggestions?
My bet is that the condenser isn't getting enough air to cool it
