The
roof-mounted air conditioner(s)
can
operate only when the motor
home
is connected to 120-voltAC power from either a public utility
or
the generator.
Be
sure to
tum
the air conditioner circuit breakers
ON
.
.
For
best performance, park the motor
home
in the shade and close curtains.
Close doors
and windows and
tum
the temperature control knob for desired
coolness. Refer to the air conditioner manufacturer's instructions for detailed
. operating and preventive maintenance requirements. The air conditioners use
a large portion
of
your available electric power.
Some
RV parks
may
experience reduced power (low voltage)
on
days with
high
heat or humidity. This condition is commonly called a "brown out." A
brown out may cause the air conditioner circuit breaker in the distribution
panel to trip. This protects your air conditioner motor from damage and is
necessary during low voltage conditions. This breaker tripping is not a fault in
your
electrical system, but
it
is a necessary "safety valve."
Either
or
both air conditioners can
be
operated
if
the generator is running,
or
if
the unit is plugged into
park
power with the 50-amp shore line.
Note: Your motor home is equipped with a ceiling-ducted
air
conditioning system: For most efficient operation, adjust
each vent
so
that
it
is completely open.
If
you change the vent
opening to regulate
airflow
try not to restrict the vent opening
to
below 70% open. Restricting
airflow
below this opening
will
affectthe
efficiency
of
the
air
conditioner
