I have a 2013 3800. Nothing goes there. My wall between the doors is angled inside (curved on the outside). Perhaps a mod by the previous owner?

Thanks again for the help. The board is cutting the power to the compressor (can hear the relay and I checked the voltage). I can’t short the thermostat as it is digital (Dometic CCC2) so I’m unsure if it is the board or thermostat. Going to see if any campers here will lend me their thermostat...

Thank you, I’m back in Florida finally so I will troubleshoot. Appreciate the help.

Thank you for the suggestion. I took the ceiling cover down and taped up anywhere air might have come through. Unfortunately my problem persists. Also check the coils and they are definitely not freezing up.

+1 We have a "virtual phone number" on the dogs collar tags since 1) they are not associated to an address and 2) any call rings all ours and in-law's cell phones at the same time. Someone it bound to pick up the call.

My Cyclone's main A/C unit keep cycling on/off about every 8-10 minutes (give or take). When the compressor is running the unit cools fine (~15-18º lower than intake) but the compressor will only run for about 8-10 minutes. The fan goes to high for ~20 seconds and the units shuts off with the...

Finally got around to sharpen all the camper kitchen knives. Can carve wood with them now.

Thanks Bob. We’ll definitely keep an eye (and an infrared thermometer) on all the switches in the panel. I replaced all the ceiling lights with LED and so far so good. About 2/3 of the incandescent bulbs were some shade of black. A little scary considering all the times we have left the lights...

Installed an APEC RO filtration system under the sink. Will probably relocate the tank to the underbelly at some point (seem to recall some empty space next to the water pump). Also added instant hot water heater and faucet.

More electrical fun The interior ceiling lights in the living room went out the other day. Turns out the switch and cable burned out. Snipped and re-crimped (properly) the wire and replaced the switches with lit ones. Replacing the bulbs with LEDs to reduce the current draw next as the wire is...

Nice!

In the bed of the tow vehicle?

Sweet lookin rig!

Evicted the squatters from the main AC unit. Cleaned condenser and evaporator coils, straighten out some bent fins, and cleaned everything. Camper has a rather strong chemical lemon smell but temperature is comfortable - for a Norwegian trapped in Florida that’s not bad. Probably should not...

We have the heat pump option and in 5 years have used it once. It seems effective to me only down to about 40 degrees. Below that you will likely use the furnace and anything above 50 you probably don''t need heat. So, it you camp a lot in fall and or early spring where the temperature is in the...
