Do you have the ceiling cool air outlet pointing towards the control panel or the sensor on wall?
You can find AC information in QT's 1 & 2 for your year.
Here are the different systems.

Hi dutchstar10,
The thermistors that measure the air temp are very sensitive. Gut feel says the A/C unit(s) are operating normally. Some questions to be answered are:
1. Is the problem with the front or rear unit?
2. The rear unit will be much more sensitive because of the vent direction and the small area to be cooled.
3. The thermistors are located behind small plastic "cones". The cones are located on a wall in the bedroom and somewhere in the middle of the coach. Consider placing a towel over the thermistor(s) to see if the A/C unit(s) stay on longer.
4. What is the temp outside?
5. What temp do you want inside?
6. What is the compass heading the coach is facing?

Thanks for the info. Turns out the rv park I was in was quite old and the power supply was very inadequate for a 50 am service and I kept experiencing low voltage. Thankfully my surge protector kept me from serious trouble.

Last summer I was having issues blowing pedestal breaker with all 3ac units on and the electric water heater on. I noticed that one of the 120 volt legs was pulling 60 amps and blowing the breaker (makes sense). What the problem really was is the pedestal voltage was dropping below 110 volts hence the requirement for greater amperage (and the popped breaker). This year we are using an autoformer and hopefully avoiding this problem.
