I too am leaning towards it being an elec current issue. I had it pluged in at home to a dedicated 20amp circut and while it did come on at the low setting, it still poped the 20amp breaker for the A/C in the 5th wheel. This indicate (to me) that either the A/C is pulling too much current or the circit breaker is faulty? I have checked all the breakers in the coach for secure connections and they were/are. Thanks for the inputs, and I'll let you if/when I get answers...

Breakers do go bad. I had to replace one for my AC in my rig a year ago. What happens is if the breaker happens to get warm (a lot of current passing through) a lot, the breaker tends to get weaker. It's like a lot of breakers in older campgrounds. On really hot days, those breakers have a tendency to trip a lot quicker than they do during cooler days. My replacement breaker has worked like a champ ever since.
