Re: 15000 BTU AC troubleshooting or not?

NOTHING else will do for a check out other than this. Once that is done will determine if the AC unit is performing to spec. RVP(Coleman) will not warranty this unit. It is too old. Doug Thanks everyone for the replies Let me clarify a few things Coach is 35 feet but 10+ of it is garage. Garage door was shut and vents closed as to not cool the garage. I was using a plain old orange extension cord like for power tools or something. Since we were parked at home nothing was on in the coach except the battery charger was running Voltage at the plug is unknown but i can check that today. When i was on the roof like i said in the first post i DID clean out the entire unit and check the ducting for leaks Should the AC have separate breakers for fan and compressor? I doubt it but ill look today. For those of you suggesting the AC will not cool the coach, why do they sell it then? If that were the case i doubt i would be the first person to complain about it I know a bigger unit would be "better" but like i said we typically use the ac twice a year we camp in the colorado mountains568Views0likes0CommentsRe: 15000 BTU AC troubleshooting or not?

BTW, a 2nd AC would make things a lot better. it was more like 81 actually my laser thermometer is a pos Yes i agree that a 2nd ac would be better but we live in colorado. 99% of the year we are in the mountains camping Its 60 degrees up there and us the AC twice a year it just happens to be very hot lately at home I know where your at in AZ a 2nd is like standard equipment beggars can't be choosers. We are lucky to have what we do My question is really the following Can one run a coleman mach 15k btu AC on a house cord or is that my problem168Views0likes0Comments15000 BTU AC troubleshooting or not?
Hey all, ill try and make this short and concise MY wife and i have been rving for about 5 years. We have had pop ups, travel trailers and this year we stepped up to the plate for our first (what i consider) big trailer Picked up a nice 2014 KZ 36 foot toy hauler 5th wheel Sory folks after a $70k truck to tow with the voltage was out of the question or any of the other big names but the KZ we could afford and we liked it. It does not have the second AC unit but does have the 15,000 BTU AC upgrade Trailer is wired for 30 amp service AC is a coleman mach I picked up the trailer out of state so the dealer is NO help On the way home with our new toy we spent a night in an RV park just for the road trip AC seemed to work just fine and was nice and cold Finally got home and went to transfer all of our stuff to our new trailer in the driveway. The dealer told me the AC would run on a single 20 am standard house electrical socket as long as it was all you were using. So i decided to plug her in and turn it on given the fact it was 99 degrees out today The AC never got really cold. I took out the temp gun and it never really blew much below 75 degrees. It just was like a fan. I took the grill off inside the trailer and made sure the filters were clean. The ducting was good with no leaks and not loosing any cold air. It all looked nice and fine as you would expect from a newer trailer its a 2014 Went up on the roof, took the cover off, and cleaned out the condenser and looked at the caps. Everything looked in order will no sign of strangeness Is it possible its not really turning on because its not on a real 30 amp service plug but just on an adapter to a regular 3 prong house outlet. Any suggestions? The wife is about to beat me for buying the "broken trailer " and of course the dealer being out of state is absolutely no help2.8KViews0likes21CommentsLooking for a small 5th wheel toy hauler fiberglass
Ive been trying to find a smaller 5th wheel fiberglass toy hauler We are dirt bike people and do not need these models with a 13 foot garage. We have been trying to find something smaller for years but seem as the years go on manufactures keep making them bigger and bigger We really want something around 28ft with a separate garage and and small as possible for 2 or 3 dirt bikes These big 45 footers are impossible to get into the woods Anyone seen any models like that?1.4KViews0likes5Comments
