So I set up my camper and everything worked fine had the ac goin went to bed, got up went to work the next day still everything fine went to bed woke up no ac. The pole tests fine and my outlets read 115. The fan setting will come on the ac but when I go to cool nothin. Its like I have enough to charge my phone and small stuff but not enough juice to do anything else. I do have a brand new battery. Sorry I tried searching but couldn’t really find the answer and electrics confuses me. Also 3 mobile repair people have replied “we don’t work on airstreams”
Yeah I’ve tried that several times, not sure where to go from there. I do finally have someone coming to look. I just need to get it sorted before I role to night shift.
Like JonDNC said check the easy stuff first. If you have to any electrical checks inside the unit itself I found this You Tube video helpful in giving me an idea of what to do. I'm not an expert with electrical, but it helped me do some basics easily. He gets a little technical, but pay attention to the actual tests he performs.
Great I’ll check the video out. I do hope it’s just the ac and not an electrical issue. I do need want to do some electrical upgrades but this was a last minute job I wasn’t even planning on pulling the camper to so I didn’t get to check or do any upgrades I was planning. I really do enjoy the amount of knowledge in this forum.
You need 13+volts to run the electronic board in the A/C unit. Confirm that your converter is charging your battery, and that you have 13+ volts DC power to the unit. Your fridge also requires 13+volts to operate correctly on shore power.

Ok I think I’m fixed and the issue was electrical. Neutral was bonded at the hot water heater. So a bad instal of the hot water heater from when I worked in Mississippi cost me my ac and coulda burnt me down.
