Actually 2 questions. We have just acquired a new to us 2004 Newmar Mountain Aire Class A (workhorse & 8.1). In going through the HVAC system (front and rear Penquin heat pumps) I have a couple of questions... first the easy one- Where is the Zone 1 remote t-stat located? The CCC is in the control cabinet above the door but I have to believe there is a remote sensor somewhere however I cant find it. The Zone 2 remote is mounted on the interior bedroom wall, passenger side but no sign of one for zone 1 anywhere.
2nd question, (maybe it's a failure)? Zone 2 will not operate in a 'fan only mode' mode. If I go to cool, system will go through it's normal 2 minute time out then compressor and circulation fan will start. I can change fan speed in this mode, low, high and auto all function as they should. If I change the mode to 'fan only' the entire unit will shut off. If I select 'fan only' and any fan speed nothing ever happens. On zone 1 I can select 'fan only' and the blower fan will run, never cycling the compressor. I can change between speeds and everything works as I would expect. So my question is-- is this the way it's designed or do I have a problem with the zone 2 unit? Thanks for any light someone may be able to shine on this for me.
