Have a 2003 Fleetwood Pace Arrow which has 30 amp service - two roof A/Cs. Electronic climate control system is made by Intellitec. This system has two control modules (a) central control panel which has the heat & A/C settings located in main coach and (b) master controller located in bedroom below the sink area. The system has a SHED mode which shuts down portions of the system if current load exceeds 30 amps.
My problem started in Aug and has been ongoing ever since. In Aug when in Colorado we could not get the back A/C compressor to turn on. When operating normally the indicator lights on the central panel alternate between ON and SHED when the A/C units are turned on. They continue to alternate until the compressor kicks on & then the ON light remains lit when in normal operation. When we had our problem the lights never alternated, instead ON light came on but compressor never kicked in. Took to RV dealer in CO and they "fixed" the problem by "denenergizing" the master controller in bedroom. They simply said the unplugged overnight & when re-plugged next day controller worked fine. MY warranty obviously would not pay for a replacement since system was now working, however, I bought a spare module just in case this issue resurfaced. Everything went well until early Oct when same issue arose. Since we were almost home I waited until home & contacted local RV service. They installed new module & found it made a loud "clicking" sound when in HEAT mode. They put the old module back in and this sound does not occur in HEAT mode. My concern - will A/C issues arise on old board. Local RV dealer contacted Intellitec and got the impression this has been an issue with this system and master controller board may be affected by RF waves (WiFi, flourescent lighting, etc).
Anyone had similar issues? Does the RF issue seem plausible - if so, has anyone used shielding? Anyone had any discussions with Intellitec or Fleetwood?
