     I could very well be, as it is the only change to the electrical system...I would think the voltage for the thermostat is 12 volt controlled and that could be where the issue was.  Now only time will tell as you use/test your air-conditioning.

  Just to make you feel like you are not alone, I have been chasing an electrical snag with our new 192.  Just got home from a 4 day 900 mile 'round trip to Southern Ontario to visit my wife's parents...got home and couldn't get electrical power to the trailer.  It was pouring rain last night so cut short the trouble shooting.  Metered the 30 Amp cable...it was fine, EPO said my wall plug is good.  So pulled the TT power input plug for shore power and found that during assembly the wires weren't properly secured inside the trailer plug and were arcing.  Some melted plastic cleaned up, disassembly and proper re-assembly of the entire plug before hooking it back up did the trick so far.

  Fingers crossed all is good as we leave Tuesday for our 2nd trip, this one to Manitoba (2000 km, 1200 miles one way) to meet our first grandchild!

  Have a good one and I will be watching to see if your electrical problem is gone...or not.

  Andy

	Do you have some reason to think there actually was a 12v wiring problem with the PD panel? Did any other 12V circuits have issues? If not then it seems unlikely that was the origin of your a/c problem. I suggest that if you're really lucky you might never know....Don't worry, be happy...
