AC problem

We have a 2010 Bighorn 3055. We have had it 2 months. We are currently camping in NM. When we first turn on the air, all the vents are putting out a good flow of air. After a couple of hours that stops. Right now, with the vent on the AC unit closed we are only getting a LOW flow of air out of the vent by the door and the vent by the bedroom sink. It is putting out 73 degrees but very low flow. If I open the vents on the AC unit it puts out a flow of 73 degrees but not enough to cool the unit. It is only 89 outside. HELP

DickO,

Do a Search on the forum for A/C problems... you should find plenty of information and modifications that others have made.

Sounds to me your A/C is freezing up the Coils where the warm air that is taken into the unit... As Tate stated... make sure your fan control is on "HIGH".

Two things to check are...

1. there is a sensor that attachés in the upper center of the Condenser coil... inside the A/C... you can reach this by removing the plastic grill on the ceiling. Using a flash light... look up beyond the electrical box at the coil... you'll be looking for the sensor that has a metal clip that attachés to the condenser coil... this sensor has 2 wires attached. If it's not on the coil... you'll probably find it laying along the side in the A/C unit.

2. Next thing to look at... is the sheet metal wall that separates the two sides of the A/C unit.... separates the warm intake air.... from the Cold A/C treated discharge air. This sheet of metal should be tight fitting with No leaks between those two areas.... if you find that the sheet metal divider has broke lose from the double side tape that holds it in place... use a duct type tape... seal any place where the air can leak from one side to the other.

Hope this helps...

Good Luck !!

Charlie, go to WalMart and get a Hunter digital tstat. Do a search here on the forum and you should find some info on hooking it up. No more bumping the tstat and turning it on or off.

Peace
Dave
