2008 Springdale 189 A/C
Hello all!!
First post to the forum, but been camping for a a good time in a tent trailer and recently picked up a 2008 Springdale 189 from the original owner.
The issue I am having is I own a 4000/3500 generator and it is struggling with running the 13.5k A/C. The Volts on the generator go from 120 down to 65 and it stays there for a bit and it idles down pretty good, but doesn’t pop the breaker or go into overload just idles really rough and bogs down. The a/c blows cold and I have set it to the highest setting just to see what happens when the compressor shuts off and the generator climbs back up.
I climbed up on the roof after reading about the Hardstart Cap kit and after opening everything up I found it has one already installed, now I am at a crossroads because I was hoping that i would just need to install a Hardstart.
So I have a couple questions:
1. Do the Hardstarts go bad but still let the A/C work and is there a way to possibly test them?
2. Do I just buy another one and hope it works?
3. Or is it the generator and I need a bigger one?
I appreciate everyone’s help with this, thanks in advance!
