AC and Heat Strip Problems February 01, 2008, 05:41:48 pm Yahoo Message Number: 89081Hi everyone - we have a 2001 LD Mid Bath, with about 25K miles on it. Last year, for no apparent reason, the air conditioner and heat strip BOTH stopped working at the same time. My husband had done the annual cleaning maintenance not long before, but swears nothing he did could have caused this problem. He has flipped and reflipped the circuit breaker and that is not the problem.Has anyone had this problem? If not, does anyone know a mechanic in the Reno/Carson/Tahoe area who might work on this for us - full replacement seems expensive and wasteful, we have not used either item to excess.Thanks!Aetna & John Mayfield Incline Village, NV

My bad. I had hardly run the unit in the first 1.5 years of its life. My 2004 mid-bath manual says to run the AC at least monthly (like the generator) to "prevent its freezing up". A tech worked on it under warranty and replaced the locked-up blower motor. I have since run it every month, winter and summer for the 30 minutes I run the getset, and have had no further problems. BTW, thanks for the reminder. My rig is in temp storage while I winter in FL and tomorrow I'll have to run the genset and AC.Paul NE 50

Chances are that it simply isn't getting power for some reason... and that should not be difficult for a good tech to track down and fix.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

Hopefully someone will recommend a mechanic in our area, we do not have one.Aetna
