Hello everyone,
The coach in the OP is ours, the air conditioner is a RVAC model 2702 and the board is a 305-2547. Apparently our coach is the only one that Foretravel built to have the unit and the basement air system. The unit was also set-up to run off of a pair of engine mounted compressors and get power from the 1500 watt inverter to run the fan motors so the generator did not need to be ran while driving. Although I believe that system has been removed there are references to it in the schematic.
I would like to try and keep the system and not go to roof units if possible and am trying to see what the options are for repairing the unit we have. We thought that replacing the board was the best route but have learned that they are quite scarce. Then we thought repairing ours would be the next option but were told that our board was too baldly burnt to fix.
A few of the folks on the Foretravel forum have suggested that building a sort of control unit that would replace the phb is possible and that it may not be too difficult to achieve. I have a basic understanding of electricity and components but am by no means fluent. I have been reading around on this forum and have found a lot of excellent information but didn't want to post until I felt a little more knowledgeable about what the Foretravel folks were suggesting.
Thanks to everyone for your help and thanks to the OP for taking the time to start a thread for us.
