Really all we are doing is making the factory AC unit work as well as it can by fixing leaks, moving the probe, maximizing airflow, rejecting outside heat etc.

We are not modifying the actual mechanicals. Just doing the best we can with what we have.

Im sure when ("IF") they "bench test" these units at the Colman factory they are testing inside a building (shade and relatively cool), no duct work to worry about air leaks and they have the divider in the correct location to verify the 15 to 20 deg air difference in air temps (Hot vs Cold side). They might even get 25 deg.

Then the RV manufactures screw everything up with inproper installation, air leaks, blocked ducts, divider moves inside unit and they dont check it. Probe moves and the install where ever they want etc.

So the AC suffers and then we write threads like this to help correct the easy problems.

So really THor is doing us a favor with the poor QC .... otherwise we would have nothing important to talk about on this forum and nothing to mod on our RV's since everything would be perfect.

Life would be so boring. LOL
