If the furnace must assist the heat pump three
times in a row, the thermostat will shut down the
heat pump for two hours and the furnace will
take over as the heat source. After two hours the
heat pump will become active again and try to be
the primary heat source.
The furnace acts as a standby heat source if
the outside temperature drops below a point that
the heat pump can no longer extract heat from
the outside air to maintain the desired inside
temperature.
Have you checked your air filter lately?
Closed or blocked vents and a dirty air filter
can hinder the efficiency of a heat pump. See Air
Conditioner Filter for location and instructions.
• Be sure ceiling vents are open to distribute
heat pump output air. Also make sure furni-
ture, clothing items, packages or other
obstructions do not block the air return air
grilles beneath the rear bed.
• The filter should be checked monthly for dirt
build-up and replaced as needed. The air fil-
ter is a disposable woven fiberglass type,
which cannot be cleaned and should be
replaced when coated with dust.
CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER
NOTE: See “Electronic Thermostat” for instruc-
tions on turning the air conditioner on
and changing the thermostat settings.
The central air conditioner is located behind
the louvered body panel on the right (passenger)
side of the coach. (See page 0-5.) The panel can
be opened for maintenance and periodic service.
(See “Condenser Coils”) The cooled air is forced
through ducts in the ceiling of the coach. Inside
air returns to the air conditioner through a filter
system beneath the rear bed. (See “Air Condi-
tioner Filters”.)
Air Conditioner Filter
The disposable furnace type filter is located in
a slide-in bracket inside the passenger side of the
rear bed cabinet. The filter must be inspected and
replaced periodically so the air conditioner will
operate efficiently.
To Replace the A/C Filter:
• Lift the foot of the rear bed mattress board,
which is hinged near the head of the mat-
tress. It is supported by gas props while
open.
