Once that happens, the front AC unit will run fine as long as the thermostat is calling for AC, but them when it doesn’t, the fan shuts off and the compressor stays on! Pretty weird.
The one way I found to bypass this problem until I find a fix is to shut the whole camper off on the main breaker, wait a couple of minutes, then turn it back on. That will get both units working fine again.
Does anybody have a clue of what’s going on with my ACs? Thanks in Advance!

Each A/C has its own controller; both work by interpreting the signals from the thermostat. If the compressor shuts down and the fan keeps on running usually the evaporator is frozen up and the compressor's high pressure switch shuts it off. The fan continues to run to defrost the evaporator. This is a long process some times taking an hour or more. If the fan shuts off and the compressor still runs, it can be a bad controller, but usually it is a fan overload causing the motor to overheat. This problem s usually a bad sleeve bearing on the motor shaft.
