I have to laugh at my OCD behavior when it comes to keeping the AC cold. However, Rhonda does not like hot temperatures, and when the bride ain't happy........
We were boondocked in a parking lot in Lexington KY for the Horsey Hundred cycling weekend, and the front AC was just not quite cooling like a I thought it should. I installed a temperature readout for the front AC and the output air was only getting to about 62 degrees. I remembered it getting in the low fifties previously, so my immediate conclusion was that I had lost a compressor or some other catastrophe. My notebook confirmed 52 degree air.
Diagnostics show both compressors running and pulling proper amps.
Here is where the duh huh comes in. The generator dumps its exhaust air right into the AC units. When we plugged into a campground last night, the outlet temp went back to low fifties.
It didn't help that the coach was low to the ground in the parking lot to get it level.
Most of you probably already know this. It just didn't register with me. Next time I am boonied in a parking lot I will figure some way of getting cooler air to the AC units.
