You purchased a good unit David variable speed compressor variable speed evaporator and condenser fan. The idea of the system working properly is it really never shuts off it just slows down which makes it whisper quiet unless you walk into the coach and it's 100° and you turn it on for the first time. I spoke with my buddy who is an HVAC licensed contractor, he has been pushing inverter technology either home HVAC conversion or new installation of a mini split in new homes, the savings is phenomenal plus the pleasant non-stop flow of air no matter if it's at full tilt or minimum speed. I don't want to make anybody mad but the old type on off compressors and fans are truly obsolete. One other thing that people should think about is that you can purchase a inverter home HVAC system and perhaps use that in the coach utilizing a vertical or horizontal evaporator air handler. We have 25 tons of heat and air in our home at the present time our electric rates have gone from 11 cents a kilowatt hour to almost 18 cents, 7 cents doesn't sound like much until you figure your total bill 3 years ago versus now it's a 60% increase, a $300 bill 3 years ago is now $480. This winter the plan is to start removing all the old heat and air systems one by one and replacing them with inverter technology. Tom had mentioned that this technology was available in the 60s or '70s I can't remember but if that's the case we certainly as a nation have not paid attention to what modern control of thermodynamics can save us. Sorry to ramp on but I feel the RV market is probably the last market that will have these units readily available for a direct exchange although dometic does have a roof mount inverter unit non-available for many months.
