A/C problems

I was wondering if there's been any other mention of A/C problems with the new Rpods (other than they're outrageously LOUD!)?
On our fourth trip out with our new 182G, our A/C decided it didn't want to work anymore. Of course, it was in the middle of our 6-day vacation and during the hottest stretch of the summer for the NE. While playing some cards (thermostat set at 70), we noticed a mist coming out of the A/C unit (it set off the smoke alarm)... and it was caput. We turned it off for a couple hours... nothing. Read the instructions and ran the fan to de-ice for a couple more hours... nothing.
Luckily, my brother was at the site next to ours and we were all able to stay with him for the night (32-footer). The next day we packed up and headed for home. We weren't sure who to contact for warranty work, so we went straight to Dometic and cc'd our dealer. Both contacted us the next day for service. Our dealer is 2-1/2 hours away (they were the closest Rpod dealer) so, going from a list given to us by Dometic, we went with another RV dealer about 10-minutes away.

Anyone have an idea of what happened? A bad compressor, maybe? Has anyone else had this happen? Suggestions/comments appreciated.

Thanks!

Ours has the same problem: Compressor kicks in but no cold air.

I had the squeaky fan, too.  They said they tightened some bolts which fixed it.

Originally posted by barbanjoe When I looked at the paperwork that came with the pod (new) , I purchased a 5 year warranty on both the refrigerator and a/c unit. I also had another year added to the pod from forest river, all 3 were less than the cost of replacing one component. Since I am in Az , my a/c runs constantly except 6 weeks in december and january, I guess since I have the warranty it works perfectly!

As usual Techntrek was right, I own an A/C Delco tech shop and we do a lot of a/c repair, line broke and the probably r-134a leaked out with refrig oil and set off the detector, I would maybe like a new unit if they will, there are inherent weak spots in this system, if they (weld) braze or solder this problem it will reoccur, my best guess without looking at is that some line or componet is not properly supported and the vibration during towing caused it to fail. It will happen again more than likely. I hope they reapair to your satisfaction.
