Aloha all. Ok so I am not sure but this could be an operator error thing... please let me know if this is so.

Seems like (when I am plugged in to shore power or running the generator) when I turn on the heater the overhead AC unit kicks on blowing cold air like the bad out of hell. It is only if I overload my generator (cause it shuts down elec input) then and only then does the heater work quietly and properly like I would thing a heater should. I haveh not seen on the display how to run the heater only w/out the 20 knot wind blowing out of the AC untit.

Am I missing something obvious or should I be taking the trailer in for service?

Any insight would help.

Cheerz,

Leo

You need to cut the fan off at the wall thermostat. On my rp189 the thermostat allows you to cut the fan off ( I think you put the fan in auto mode then only the heater fan will work).
