Thanks. I have looked through the past few years for threads on "AC Replacement" but I end up going around in circles. It sounds as if the Carrier was the preferred choice but is no longer...

One other question. I notice that there is a "hard start" option for these AC Units. Judging by the pictures, they appear to consist of a relay and capacitor; are these replacements for the original...

AWESOME! The relay I have already found. There is a Grainger in Greensboro I used to deal with. I have finally figured out that the other capacitors are also Aerovox. One is numbered Z23P3712N and...

Thanks. I hate to be stupid but how do I get to, and identify, the relay and/or capacitor. Do I go in through the top or the bottom?

Sorry, it is the 20a breaker. The main breaker is OK as the rest of the power stays on. Whenever I turn just the fan on, on the unit, it runs, then when I flip it over to AC the motor labors for...

The little one, inside the trailer. Everything else works. When I kick the switch over to A/C, the motor pulls down, labors, then pops.

Just to add to the comments, I ALWAYS use the tow mode on my 2008 Silverado.

That was NOT the case with my previous truck, a '97 F150. It was a great truck but after pulling my 4500 lb boat 200...

Quitting was not easy but best thing I ever did!

My take on the pet thing?

One of the main reasons we bought our new (to us) Airstream, is that we can take the dogs along. We just sold our boat (27' Sailboat) and discovered that with it, we could leave the dogs (a Fox...
