A/C short cycling

I've had some instances of my AC unit running in (10-15 sec.) Anyone else had this problem? It doesn't do it all the time.Any advice would be appreciated.

tocodave, I have not had mine do that but sometimes when it is real hot it seem like it runs all the time. I am sure someone will be along that can help you with this.

tacodave....I had the exact same problem right after I bought mine in May. The fan would run continuously and the a/c would cycle off and on.The dealership replaced my thermostat and it hasn't done it since. My belief now is that the power supply at the park was the real culprit. You'd be surprised at how deficient some of these parks, especially with alot of campers hooked up at the same time, are deficient on amps when there's a heavy demand. It's ironic that I had this problem while staying at Tullulah Gorge in North Georgia. The campground is actually ran by none other than Georgia Power in cooperation with the state.

In the heat of the summer our park will have only 90-Volts. It is a good idea to carry a volt meter low voltage can bad for appliance's

The bad thing about having a volt meter is what you're lible to find..........if you have low volts, your only option is to pull up stakes and move out.
