Wow.  If you don't have a filter and it's been running like that for any length of time, if it were me, I'd pull the plate off to make sure I don't have dust/debri in places it shouldn't be.  I know my filters collect a whole bunch of stuff and without the filters it means that stuff is collecting in places it shouldn't be.

Add another one to the list of A/C with no air filters. Mystery solved. Just ordered some online for next excursion. I suspect original owner never even noticed they were missing. Stern Smile

I agree with you Lee, our dealer spent 2 hours going over every detail, he put up the dome first to verify all was ok, and then walked me thru removing and installing again.
 The only issue we had was the first 3 tv/dvd/radios went bad in a short time and finally we have one that seems to work.

How insteresting...I guess it depends on your dealer and who preps your R-pod.  My filters were in place, it was vaccum. fridge was cold, battery charge and the tech walked me though everything and even set up the r-dome half way so I could get idea on how it worked.

Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw the 2 filters in my package (that they were spares), but l when I went out to get the serial number for air conditioner to write down in the book I noticed the filters weren't installed, which I thought was very odd.

Guess what I just found?  Ya'll were right, they were inside my pack-o-papers.  When I read through the stack last year I guess I figured they were spares.  They'll be in place for the next trip!

Doug,  when I got my 171 from Stoltzfus the filters were sitting in a bag with some of the other paperwork.  Then I had to ask for the rest of the paperwork.
