| we made a long road trip and brought home our new 182 G! We got it at Hilltop RVs in Fridley, MN ( they were great!). They took it as a trade-in: a family with two kids used it twice and went for something bigger....OK by me! We camped overnight in a small RV park in Eagleville, MO and had a good nights rest before coming on back to OK. Heater worked good,but was NOISY so my husband disconnected the fan unit overhead and just used the furnace: is that OK? Anyways, we love it and are so excited to be a part of this great group! You have great tips and ideas to share. Thanks! |

Congrats! If everything is wired and set correctly on the thermostat, the A/C's fan shouldn't run when the heater is running. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Welcome to the RPOD world and welcome aboard this forum. No need to disconnect the overhead fan. Just make sure the fan setting on the thermostat is set to Auto. Then only the heater fan will run when heat is required. The high/low fan settings turn on the AC blower. The heater blower is a single speed unit. It too is noisy, but not as bad as the AC blower.

Welcome to the forum. You will always find something of value here, like how to use the AC blower and the heater. It's a wealth of information.

| There is no "auto" function on the thermostat...must pick heat,fan,or A/C and set temp...must be a different unit.my husband is wondering if it is a heat pump model(he is a heat/air man) |

The digital dometic has the auto function on the fan setting. Set it to fan then move the + or - buttons. It will cycle through Hi, Lo, and then Auto. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |
