M.O.C. #2779
We've always run our unit on high for two reasons: 1) it seems to be the common theme that the unit will be less likely to freeze on this setting, and 2) it seems to produce the best cooling air on this setting. This is our second Coleman unit, and we've had little trouble with either using the high fan setting. In our case (southeast Texas swamps), the unit has performed marvelously at 80+ degree temperatures.

Our unit has only been finicky under one specific condition: if the A/C stops and we don't give it a 10 minute "cool down" period before lowering the thermostat, the A/C will trip its breaker (the 10 minute cool-down rule seems to be pretty standard for all types of A/C per my A/C guy at work). HOWEVER, during warmer days, the A/C will cycle on and off on its own (no t-stat adjustment), often turning back on just a few minutes after it shuts off, and the breaker is fine! Go figure (if anyone has a good answer for this, I'd love to hear it).
