2021 Rpod 171 AC

Sorry, no

Good morning. So, let's try to figure this out and start with the basics. Your air-conditioning isn't coming on and your thermostat is blank. I don't know your system but will try to help to get you started. I hope others can chime in where more detailed knowledge is required.

First, we need to make sure you are plugged into shore power, like at a campground? Or are you plugged into a normal house electrical socket? Either way, you need to make sure you have 110 volts to your trailer. Are your other electrical appliances energized/working? Your AC can't run off of the 12 volt deep battery that should have been installed in your trailer.

So if you do have confirmed you have good electrical power to your trailer, the next step I would say is to check all your breakers, if you know where your breaker panel is. Find your air con breaker and switch it fully off and then back on to make sure it is set properly. Might as well check your other breaker switches while you are there, as well as any fuses to make sure everything is good.

Check your thermostat and hopefully it is only a circuit breaker issue! If it works, let us know, if it isn't then come back and hopefully someone with a similar system/thermostat can assist. I have never had a trailer with air conditioning (but it won't be long till our trailer arrives) so am not conversant in troubleshooting it in detail.

Good luck, I have been reading about how hot it is getting out there right now!

As someone who has learned a 2nd foreign language to assist in our living abroad for several years, it isn't a problem that can't be overcome. It does take a little effort but if I can help someone I am willing to make the effort.

Have a nice day,

Hi, all,
Thank you all so so much. I am in a camping ground with 30apm. Everything works fine inside. I tried break just now but still no luck. Fuse is internal lights/AC. Lights work fine.

Very very appreciate all your help....

While I wait to hear back about if the thermostat works when a button is pushed to wake it up I have been doing a bit more research. The next logical step (for me it is, anyways...:-), is to see if you can access the back of the thermostat to verify that the wires are securely inserted into it.

If you have the manual for the thermostat, which the dealer should have provided to you, that would be of assistance as it should tell you what colour of wire goes into what connection point in the rear of the thermostat.

If you can access the wires, refer to the manual to see if they are inserted correctly, and then wiggle them GENTLY one at a time to check for a secure connection.

It is possible that your thermostat is unserviceable, but before replacing you need to check to see if this one is working or not.

I have been thinking about what you said about 12 volt...your thermostat might be 12 volt operated, so checking your fuses to ensure all are serviceable is important. If there is no 12 volt power getting the thermostat, it of course won't operate.

It sounds like your trailer is new, so this might still be under warranty. This doesn't help with the current heat situation there in BC, but something to keep in mind if you can't get the AC working.

Another question, has the AC (or the furnace as well, as it uses the same thermostat) ever worked or been used since you bought it? Have you ever used the thermostat or is this the first time trying to use it? I ask this to help with the trouble shooting process.
