    Relay board disconnect

    Hi all - I did a stupid thing. In the attached image is a relay board, which was originally located in the bulkhead (above the driver). A wire ran to it from the engine starter, another ran off to the fuse box right of the driver. The relays on the board controlled the OEM air conditioning...

    Suggested Generator for Kodiak Cub 175

    Does anyone have suggestions for a make and model generator? I am looking for one that can run the air conditioning, lighting, entertainment, functions, and other small things. I could probably live without using the microwave and AC simultaneously. I’m just looking for a good generator that...

    Vent from air conditioning?

    Hi. I am redoing a Ford E450 shuttle bus with the V10 gas engine that has an Air-con system that looks rather like a split system (condenser on roof, air handler over big back window). It appears to be factory installed, not aftermarket. When I removed the back seats, I discovered this vented...

    RV Airflow for Forester / Sunseeker

    Hi, Like a lot of people I have been frustrated by the poor performance and noise of my Dometic air conditioner in my Class C. I got the silencer from Wacko and that helped to reduce the noise considerably. Definitely a win and correcting the factory divider (a story in itself) and blocking off...

    Air conditioning seals

    I learned a hard lesson this week. I had to have all the AC seals around the lines replaced this week as the Freon leaked out with 17k on my motorhome. The shop advised me to run it periodically in the winter to prevent this.

    Do I REALLY need Air Conditioning for a small hybrid-trailer?

    Hello Campers, I'm in the market to buy a small hybrid-trailer (i.e., think 2,700 lbs dry, like a Jay Feather or equivalent). I do 90% of my camping within 5 hours of Edmonton, Alberta - including the Rockies, various provincial parks, etc. In this climate (similar to Montana), an average...

    Rear Starcool AC only cool with engine on

    Good day! I have a 2000 E350/RB 50 with a Starcool rear AC built in Texas. I have owned it the last 10 years without issues with the AC other than a freon charge 6 years ago. However, over the weekend I took my 5 yo for his 1st camping trip in the SMB. I AC blew cold while on shore power. We...

    Air Conditioning Vibe 25RK

    We have a 2021 Vibe 26RK with one air conditioner. It is wired and braced for the second one. Can we get by with the single, or do we need to go ahead and have the second one installed ?

    Portable A/C Unit keeps tripping breaker

    We recently got a portable A/C Unit because our rooftop A/C stopped blowing cold air. Contacted Grand Design and they have given us some money to put towards a portable A/C in the mean time until we can have it serviced. The portable A/C we got has been working very well for the last week until...

    Air conditioning always freezing up

    Are we the only people that can’t run a/c with the fan on auto or low? Seems no matter what the humidity levels are it’ll always freeze up unless ran on high.

    OTR AC - 02 Blubird 28ft

    Hello Recently purchased my first bus, a 28ft 2002 Bluebird TC2000 series and am trying to decide whether removing the rear AC unit would be advisable. We would keep the front roof AC unit. We plan on having the back 4ft of the bus walled off as a garage, so any AC from the back unit would not...

    287BHS air conditioning

    Hi all, I’m Nate. I am a novice owner of a 2022 FR 287BHS and I am sweating my butt off. Yesterday was my first full day in the camper. The inside temps with the AC running full blast non stop did not get lower than 80. I am in an RV site near Cocoa Beach FL where the current outside temps are...

    Not Starting Without Condenser Wire

    My had two separate A/C systems. One in front, and one above the back door. I am keeping the front unit. The back unit, which will be replaced with a mini split, has already been removed. I just need to remove its condenser (to make room for my gray tank), and hopefully its generator too. I...

    Off grid air conditioning

    I have just finished an install of my off grid AC system. It runs off a battery and inverter or a suitcase generator. My rooftop A/C uses far too much current and it’s too noisy. I opted to put in a smaller AC in my escape window and it’s working out beautifully. Here’s a link to a YouTube video...

    Two Houghton AC3400 in our family

    Completed the second Houghton AC3400 installation on our daughter's 2020 21NE (forward trailer). Install went smoothly as it did on our 2019 19' (rear trailer). Both units are cooling nicely. In both trailers, we closed off the plenum vent on the side facing the refrigerator. This helps with...

    Rear AC needs a "recharge" says the owner. Advice, please.

    I'm interested in a bus with an ac besides the dashboard ac for the comfort of travelling with my children. One if the buses we saw states that it has a working rear ac that needs to be recharged. Does the rear ac work like a regular ac? I think there is a compressor underneath the bus (it's a...

    Air conditioning filter
