Front AC Kicks On/Off

Hello All
Just bought a 2016 3820FK. The front AC works good - blows cold air - but every one in a while it will shut off, then about 30 seconds later it kicks back on.
It does this 3-4 times then it resumes normal operation. It does keep the front of the 5th wheel cool, its not blowing hot air.
Is this something normal when its hot? 75-80 in Eugene OR.
Any help or feedback would be great.
Thanks!

Switch the fan setting to high and then turn on the ac. Fan will run continuously the ac condenser will cycle as needed. It will also keep the fina from freezing up.

Back AC Also Only Comes on After Turning on Fan

I will try the suggestion above. Also on the back AC (and it doesn't do it all the time) I have to turn on the fan, then switch to the AC, turn it on, then go back to the fan and shut it off. Then the AC will work normally. I have read other posts like this, and they only talk about the capacitive touch faceplates. I have the older push the button face plate. Ideas?

I had to replace one of my thermostats this year for the same symptoms. I find I get much better performance from my ac units running the fan constantly on high with the ac on. At night I’ll put the rear unit on low fan and the ac off. Front ac on and high fan.
