Roof AC 2 zones out! - les korcala - 03-29-2013
I noticed that we are running only 2 AC's in our coach !
#1 ( front ) and #3 are out!
climbed on the roof and took the covers out , looks like all the wires are conected etc. not sure whatelse to look for?
Its firts time thsi months we started to use them & not sure if they always worked?
The front one was replaced in 03' and other 3 are original 2000
Somone mentioned that inverter could be set on 30 amps and its only kick in 2 AC units , is that passible?
Is anyone has any tips what to looks for?
Wanted to reset the termostat but ours is 5 buttom type and my manual shows 4 uttoms type and wont tell you how to re set it
PS: just had installed solar shade 95 on our winshield and side windows , looks great!! cant wait to hit some sun with it and see the temps go down! I also bought bubble type silver sun screen barrier rated at 87% and cut to fit our front windshield, we hope thi upgrade will take some edge of the sun.

Les,
Do you have Amp and Volt meters above the driver? What are you seeing?

Just checked meter
Volts meter :
L-1 123V
L-2 121V
Ampers meter
L-1 40 Amp
L-2 30Amp
That is with 2 AC's on and running
I noticed my wife was taking shower and amp on one jumped from 10 -40 Amp ( I think is becouse Aqua hot kicked in same time )
BTW this resort is wired for 200Volts lots of clean power here!

Les,
Sounds like you're running your AquaHot on electric. That will shut off a/c #1 & #3. Put your AquaHot on diesel, shut off the electric & you're good to go!

With you on that one Steve. Twice on Cannon's coach we did the same and scratched our heads for about 30 seconds. Duh!
Hope that is Les's issue...
RE: Roof AC 2 zones out! - rheavn - 03-30-2013
Les, come off that roof before you fall!
Here is the explanation for those that have basement air, but some day may have a roof air coach. Newell blocks out or shuts off a/c #1 & #3 when the electric AquaHot is switched on to keep the owner from putting their coach in a overpower condition. A/c #1 and a/c #3 are on opposite legs. They do put some signage by the electric AquaHot switch, but its hard for me to see without my glasses.

steve, on the basement air coaches, it shuts off the aircons as well.

Thanks for the info Tom. As you can tell my knowledge of basement airs is zero.
RE: Roof AC 2 zones out! - encantotom - 03-30-2013
