Well, don't ask me to explain it, but mobile RV repair guy replaced the furnace motor and everything works fine again.

Checked the converter, it's putting out 13.2 Went up and opened up the a/c, found a wire had slid of the blade connection. Crimped it and it broke. Replaced it with a new blade connector and slid it back on. No change. I can think of nothing else to check within my abilities. Calling the mobile...

The batteries have been a consistent 13.4 volts. I think it's a short as well.

Not working again New symptoms discovered: the voltage at the thermostat will build up to 13+-. If I let it build to full voltage, then slide the selector to "fan", it will run and voltage holds just under 13. Then if I slide to "cool", the voltage instantly plummets to 4 and nothing happens (no...

I tried again, 4th time on this set of tries... It's working again :o

Currently, if I slide the selector to "cool", it runs the a/c for one second, clicks, and the a/c shuts off.

Back to not working again :(

Furnace working now too. No idea why. I guess the new thermostat worked after all, don't know why it didn't at first. Only had 3.5V to start with. Now everything is 13+- Who knows?

A/C now working. No idea why. Furnace still not working.

Not good New thermostat changed nothing

Yea, furnace is always 12v. Has to be available when dry camping. Anyway, agreed that the thermostat was the common thread, new one should arrive today. Will update after install.

Backstory goes like this: Heat and a/c have been working just fine until a little while ago. Ran the a/c all day, no problems. When it got into evening, we shut it off. When it came time for bed, slid the selector to furnace and nothing happened. Tried the selector on a/c, nothing happened...

Well... I had the mobile RV guy here in Hershey come by, Jim. He found the broken wire in the first place he looked, on the frame rail whee the harness runs through the hole in the frame. Does one of those smiley faces have egg on it? Geez!

Nothing good to report. Finally had time to take a better look at this today. Was laid off yesterday, traveling to next job tomorrow, so today was the day. Check the grounds on the slides, they were good. Check the ground on the batteries, good. Went back to the fuse box with the multi meter...

Voltage at batteries is 13.2 plugged in. 12.5 unplugged and dropping .01 per second
