Camplite
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 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 (optional equipment)
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.
Electric Ceiling 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.
To keep condensation from accumulating
open the vent lids slightly to help the air
circulate. Condensation
from fluctuations in interior and exterior
temperatures,
changes, showering and cooking.
To clean the screen, remove the screws
holding it in place. Wash the screen using a
non-abrasive soap and water. Re-install the
screen and tighten the screws.
Keep all the vents closed when using the
Rain Sensor Fan. Direct the airflow by slightly
opening the window(s) on the shaded side of
the camper to obtain the maximum air flow
especially on hot, sunny days. Close all the roof
vents. The area between the open window(s)
and the Rain Sensor fan supplies the maximum
air flow and provides the most comfort.
Do not leave any vent cover open while
the camper is in motion, stored or
unattended for extended periods of time.
High winds or other unusual conditions
or obstructions may damage the cover
and prevent closing. Leakage could result
causing serious damage.
Water Heater
If your unit has a bath, it has a water heater.
The LP water heater is accessed by a panel
on the outside of the vehicle. Turn on the hot
water faucet at the galley sink to see if the tank
is full. Before operating any gas appliance,
make sure the valve on the gas tank is open.
I
All pilot lights, appliances and their
igniters (see operating instructions) must
be turned off during refueling of motor
fuel tanks and/or LP gas containers.
