How do you all recommend setting the fan when running the air? Auto or low?
We have a '14 178.

In our '14 177, if you set the thermostat to 'cool', the fan runs the entire time, regardless as to whether the air conditioner compressor is running.

If you just want the fan to run, set it to 'fan' and select either 'low' or 'high'.  Yours may be different, but I doubt it.

If you set your fan mode from "low" or "HI" to "AU" it will stop that.

On AU (auto), the fan on our 2016 179's A/C starts up a few seconds before the compressor kicks on and stops a few seconds after the compressor stops. If we have to run A/C at night, we'll usually put the fan on LO to keep the noise down.

How do you remove the air filter from the a/c unit to clean/replace it?
Thanks!

Same thing happened to us.  The dealer never installed the AC filters.
