    Keep in mind a conversion from R-12 to 134a involves a hose change and the cost at Prevost to switch the dash air to 134a was north of 8000.00. This has been beat to death on the forum, so do a search and read all the info before making any decisions.

    Have you checked your voltage?.. we burned up a compressor due to low voltage... the compressor kept trying to kick in and the voltage was too low.... however with your genset running your voltage should be good if all is well with it.. we have had to leave certain RV parks that only show to have 105-107 volts coming in on one of the legs or both and the cruisairs will not run on low voltage.That has just been our experience ! Good luck..

AAP does not have anyone for a few hundred miles. Any help is much appreciated. Mike

    Usually, if low voltage to the compressor is an issue, you will get a "lo ac" message displayed on your SMX control.

    I believe that if the sensor sees 100 volts or less for a period of 1 minute, it will shut the system down and display the "lo ac" message.

    And if the CA shuts down due to low voltage it has to be manually rebooted by removing all power from the circuit and restoring power.

    Yes. And, keep in mind that the correct voltage needs to be programmed via the touchpad. I had one unit that somehow had the incorrect voltage programmed and had to be reset to the correct value. How this could happen is a mystery to me.

    The evaporator is usually just below or near where the cold air discharge is located.
