Kit to add auto-fan to air conditioner

AC mod

This is my solution.
Costs me about $25 ,works great.

Thanks popeyemth. Looks like you have a Dometic. I've got a Coleman type. This kit seems to be for the Coleman brand.

popeyemth's link doesn't work for me, but I'm interested in something like that for my Dometics.

The mod I used should work for any make of AC

Genius! Thanks.

Need to add that to the every-growing "nice to have" mod list.

Looks great! It would be nice if your relay had a timer built in so that the fan would run for 60 or so seconds after the compressor on the AC shuts down to get the last of the cool from the evaporator .

I think they make that sort of relay too if I'm not mistaken.

My next AC mod will be going the other way-I'm going to add a DELAY timer for the fan to let the compressor start about 1.5 seconds before the fan so a small Genny will be able to run the AC

Nice mod, and putting it in the breaker box instead of the AC, good thinking! How distracting is it having the AC fan cycle on and off?

I don't have the tools to measure it, but my Coleman Mach 3 (roof mount, direct vent, no ducts) is SO LOUD it drowns out all other sounds while it runs. I think having it cycle on and off would distract me more than just "getting used to" the constant loudness.

I don't find it to be distracting at all.
I know what you mean about the fan being loud especially if you're trying to cook then you're standing close enough you can't hear what anyone's saying.
The biggest benefits to us is not waking up at 3 AM freezing with the fan blowing on us.
The digital thermostat is really nice as it keeps the temperature nearly constant versus the factory that had such a wide gap between on and off.
