Back in November, I upgraded from an analog Duoterm thermostat to a programmable digital Honeywell thermostat<\/a>. This remains one of the best mods I’ve made to my RV.<\/p>\n

This spring, I did my AC maintenance and testing before the weather got warm. The AC did not run correctly and made an awful sound. It took me a minute to think, “What changed between now and the last time I used the AC? Ah, the thermostat.”<\/p>\n

It would have probably been faster to check my post from November, which I only just did, as it explains exactly what was going on with my AC!<\/p>\n

But I figured it out on my own very quickly and before thinking I had any major AC issues.<\/p>\n

The problem in November was that when I hooked up the wiring for the fan on the AC, it would run as soon as the furnace powered on. I disconnected this wiring and had no trouble with heating all winter.<\/p>\n

So the possible solution to the AC not working was to open up the thermostat and reconnect the fan wiring. Sure enough, that did the trick!<\/p>\n

My AC runs great and while I just about never use it, I’m grateful for it when it gets unbearably muggy in here, like tonight!<\/p>\n

I don’t think that there’s a way around the fan issue other than\u00a0 making a radical modification to the thermostat to add an off option in addition to on and auto. So I’ll just disconnect it when I need heat and reconnect it when I need cold, which should technically be once a year each…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
