Well we have been camping for about 10 days now and lost our AC unit. It popped the campground circuit breaker 2 times. I reset it, and now it will not work at all.
So it looks like when we get back I have to take her in and have some work done. Luckily she is under warrantee.

Probably low voltage and the cap burned up
Get a plug in volt meter to keep an eye on things

+1 on likely low voltage. Look at getting an autoformer. We use our Hughes autoformer at about 20% of the campgrounds we visit for just that reason. Voltage in TT should be no lower than 110 VAC (per many folks including me) when A/C runs, or you risk burning A/C out.
Hope warranty covers it.

Appliances are tested to 95 volts but more is allways better. 105 should be fine but it's the starting and stopping that probably killed the cap. $10 repair probably

Oh I use one and it was in the upper green area. One note: The campground circuit breaker popped 2 times when the AC was on, so I left it off for the remainder of the trip.
Now even the fan does not work.
Anyway I took it into for repairs. I will let you know what they find.

Well heard back from the RV repair, and the AC has a loose wire that was shorting out.
Glad it was a simple fix.
