Air Conditioner; Fantastic Fan Operation - Gulf Stream Travel Trailer Owner's Manual

Your furnace is designed to sustain a desired temperature in the vehicle at most times. Due to varying weather
conditions, the furnace may not be able to keep up with sub-freezing temperatures. The amount of vehicle occupants
and the position the vehicle is parked may help or hinder the furnace's ability to keep up with freeze conditions.
Consult the furnace owner's manual for more information.
WARNING: DO NOT SUPPLEMENT THE FURNACE WITH ANY PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCE
FOR HEATING
ASPHYXIATION/CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IS POSSIBLE IN ANY SMALL, WELL-SEALED
SPACE.

AIR CONDITIONER

Thoroughly read the owner's manual supplied by the air conditioner manufacturer for proper use, care and
maintenance of the roof mounted air conditioner. Air conditioners are capable of cooling air a maximum of 18 to 22
degrees in a 50% humidity environment.
temperature inside your coach is 100 degrees when you turn on the air conditioner, it will only put out 80 degrees.
Eventually the air inside the coach will cool, and as it cools the air put out by the air conditioner will also cool.
However, when starting out at 100 degrees, this cooling could take several hours before it reaches your desired
temperature. Therefore, if you know the weather will be hot, turn your air conditioner on early.
The two most common complaints with roof air conditioners are they won't turn on at all, or when they do turn on,
they won't put out cold air. Obviously, if the unit won't turn on you may have a problem with something other than the
air conditioner. Always make sure you have sufficient power to run each air conditioner you plan on using. If your
power source has only 30-amp service, you can run only one (1) air conditioner at a time. Using an adapter to plug in
your 50-amp cord to 30-amp service doesn't allow the use of both AC's either. Most AC's require a minimum of 13
amps to operate properly. Although the amperage of two AC's running at the same time doesn't add up to 30 amps,
other components in the coach, such as the converter, refrigerator, VCR (draws amps simply by just being plugged in),
etc., draw enough amperage to push the total amp load over the 30 amp mark. If you desire to run both AC's in a 30-
amp environment, try running your generator instead of using shore power. Run both AC's off the generator until the
coach cools off, then use shore power to run only one AC, which by itself will usually maintain a cool temperature
inside the coach.
CAUTION: THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS, "CHEATER" CORDS OR ADAPTORS TO REDUCE THE
SIZE OF THE RECEPTACLE BEING USED TO PLUG IN YOUR RV WILL CAUSE EXCESS AMPERAGE
AND STRAIN ON YOUR RV ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS MAY RESULT IN TRIPPING BREAKERS,
PREMATURE FAILURE OF 110-VOLT AC APPLIANCES, HOT OR MELTING CORD CONNECTIONS, OR
FIRE. ALWAYS PLUG YOUR SHORE POWER INTO A POWER SUPPLY PROPERLY RATED FOR YOUR
RV (30 or 50 amp service).
ROOF EXHAUST FAN OPERATION
The ceiling fan used in your coach is designed to ventilate the interior when cooking or if the use of your air
conditioner is not desired. If used properly the roof fan can cool the interior by as much as 15 degrees within a short
period of time. When used in the exhaust mode, the fan pulls hot air from high inside the coach and will pull fresh air
from an open window. This fan is usually controlled by a wall-mounted thermostat (some models have a thermostat
built right on the fan), which must be turned on and adjusted to your desired temperature before use. The wall-
mounted thermostat is not the same that is used for the furnace or air conditioners. Please review the supplied fan
owner's manual for additional operating instructions.
