Re: [VAC] Colman AC



Jim,
     Before I would throw that away I would suggest you check to see what
amperage the AC unit is drawing. Tis is done by using an ammeter. If you
know an electrician or a serviceman they probably will have one and know hoe
to use it. From what you are describing it sounds very possible that you
have a weak breaker. lay your hand over the panel, it will likely feel warm.
If you feel that you can do this , simply replace the breaker, most
residential breakers are only $10-15, although I don't know if RV breakers
are priced the same way. I've never had to replace one. I do know that this
is a common problem with residential AC systems. Let me know how it  turns
out. Happy Trails, James
