The size of a recreational vehicle air conditioner is generally
limited to about 13,500 BTUH (approximately one ton) of
cooling.
If more than 1 ton of cooling is desired, then the use of two
air conditioners is recommended.
The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the desired
inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the
recreational vehicle.
The size of the vehicle, amount of window area, amount of
insulation, direct exposure to the sun, outside temperature
and the number of people in the recreational vehicle may
increase the heat gain to such an extent that the capacity of
the air conditioner is exceeded.
Your RV air conditioner, depending upon the ceiling
assembly selected, is controlled from the panel located in the
ceiling assembly or from a wall thermostat. Wall thermostat
operation is available with or without electric heat option and
in free delivery or ducted options. The wall thermostat
control is exactly as a home thermostat. The following
description pertains to free delivery, manual control ceiling
assemblies. There are three controls on the ceiling assembly
that help you control the air conditioner.
A.
Selector Switch
The selector switch determines air conditioner mode
of operation. By rotating the selector switch, the
operator can obtain any system function desired.
System functions vary depending upon options of
both the roof top unit and ceiling assemblies
available. Figure 1 and 2 show system switch
location and list all available functions by model.
The "Operation" section explains the operational
characteristics for each mode of operation.

I. GENERAL INFORMATION
II. CONTROL PANEL
As a general rule, air entering the air conditioner will be
cooled about 15 to 20 degrees, depending on the outside
temperature and humidity conditions.
For example, if the air entering the return air grilles is 80
degrees F, the air leaving the discharge grilles will be 60 to
65 degrees F.
As long as this temperature difference is being maintained
between the return air and discharge air, the air conditioner is
operating at its capacity. If the desired inside temperature
(normally 80 degrees F) cannot be maintained, then the heat
gain of the RV is too great for the capacity of the air
conditioner.
Parking the vehicle in a shaded area, keeping windows and
doors shut and avoiding the use of heat producing appliances
in the vehicle will help to reduce the heat gain. When
possible, the addition of insulation and tinted glass (especially
in uninsulated vans) should be considered.
B.
The Thermostat (Temperature Control)
In the cooling mode, the thermostat regulates the
"ON" and "OFF" temperature setting at which the
compressor will operate.
For "Elect-A-Heat" models, the thermostat also
controls the "ON" and "OFF" temperature settings of
the heater assembly (See Figures 1 and 2).
C.
Louvers
The louvers are located at both ends of the ceiling
assembly shroud and are used in directing the
discharge air from the unit (See Figure 1). Ducted
systems will have louvers at various locations in the
ceiling.
