AIR CONDITIONING
If the furnace must assist the heat pump three
times in a row, the thermostat will shut down the
heat pump for two hours and the furnace will
take over as the heat source. After two hours the
heat pump will become active again and try to be
the primary heat source.
The furnace acts as a standby heat source if
the outside temperature drops below a point that
the heat pump can no longer extract heat from
the outside air to maintain the desired inside
temperature.
Have You Checked Your Air Filter
Lately?
Closed or blocked vents and a dirty air filter
can hinder the efficiency of a heat pump. See Air
Conditioner Filter for location and instructions.
CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER
NOTE: See “Electronic Thermostat” for instruc-
tions on turning the air conditioner on
and changing the thermostat settings.
The central air conditioner is located behind
the louvered body panel on the right (passenger)
side of the coach. The panel can be opened for
maintenance and periodic service. (See “Con-
denser Coils”) The cooled air is forced through
ducts in the ceiling of the coach. Inside air returns
to the air conditioner through a filter system be-
neath the rear bed. (See “Air Conditioner Fil-
ters”.)
Air Conditioner Filter
The disposable furnace type filter must be in-
spected and replaced periodically so the air con-
ditioner will operate efficiently.
•
Be sure ceiling vents are open to distribute
heat pump output air. Also make sure furni-
ture, clothing items, packages or other
obstructions do not block the air return air
grilles beneath the rear bed.
•
The filter should be checked monthly for dirt
build-up and replaced as needed. The air fil-
ter is a disposable woven fiberglass type,
which cannot be cleaned and should be
replaced when coated with dust.
Beneath Bed
(Lift mattress board as shown . . . a finger hole
is provided near the middle of the panel for lift-
out removal).
A/C Filter Size:
14” x 20” x 1”
14” x 20” x 1” & 10” x 20” x 1” (G33V)
NOTE: Do not block the filter in any way, such
as by setting packages or newspapers,
etc. in front of the night stand grate.
There must be free air flow for the air
conditioner to operate efficiently.
