Our new travel trailer (2022 Forest River Wildwood FSX 178BHSK) came with a rooftop AC we cannot live with…
- It’s horribly loud… we cannot even stand to have it on… we can’t have a conversation when it runs
- the fan keeps running even when the compressor cycles off… the noise is the same with compressor on or off
- the only way to turn the unit on and off is the knob on the bottom of the unit
I should have determined all this before purchase… but oh well. Now I’ll pay the piper for R&R
Since this is non-warranty work (we pay)… I‘m getting quotes from two different RV dealers. Dealer will have to run interior conduit on the walls and install a thermostat.
anyone have a recommendation for a reasonable quiet model that is thermostatically controlled?
