Roof A/C 2014 Solei 34T
The front roof air on my 34T Solei will not cool the front of my coach on a hot day, with the coach in the sun. I have spoke with the factory about this and the excessive noise that it makes. They told me they had complaints about the noise, but not about the cooling. I had it checked at Camping World and they said it was within specs, dropping the cooled air 20 degrees below ambient temperature. That is about 10 degrees higher than the air out of the rear unit. Is anyone else having a problem cooling their 34 Solei or Forza in hot sunny conditions? Running both A/C units helps, but that is not always possible when plugged into 15,20 or 30 amp circuits.
I have an appointment at the factory at the end of September. Unfortunately I will not be back in the coach until then. I would like to determine if I have an engineering or an installation problem with the A/C. I have tripped the circuit breaker on the front A/C unit a couple of times. I was not in the coach at the time, so I don't know the circumstances that caused the breaker to trip. I checked the return air and duct taped the panels separating it from the chilled air. That seemed to help some. It also seemed to dampen the noise, but that might just be wishful thinking. I do think the front unit has a problem and will have to be repaired or replaced. I want to make sure that will solve my problem as I will not have much of an opportunity to test it in October when we are running the coach and my warranty expires in February.
This is my first Coleman A/C unit. Are they that much noisier than the Duo-Therms? It is difficult to carry on a conversation with the A/C running.
Any feedback from other Solei or Forza owners would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
