Circuit Breaker - Middle AC

I own a 2007 Monaco Camelot PDQ, and the middle AC is cycling as if the compressor or heat pump is running. Using the thermostat I have cycled it off and on several times, and located breakers for Front AC and Rear AC but am unable to locate the breaker for the one in question. I disconnected shore power for 8 hours, and it begins the cycling when reconnected. The unit does shut off on it’s own, but then will start the process again (no fan no air flow) after 3 minutes or so.
Thanks in advance for the support.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that on the circuit panel, there is a sticker that says Center AC, however there is not a breaker that corresponds with the label. I flipped the ones labeled front and rear to no avail.

My 2007 Beaver Contessa has all 3 a/c breakers in the 50 amp panel in the bathroom cabinet. Click image for larger version

Had the AC been working normally?



It looks like someone must have replaced a mini breaker (which has 2 throw switches) with a single throw breaker.

You will have to take the front off the panel and see how everything is wired.

AC was and will work normally. The cycling continues regardless of setting on thermostat. Tried turning the thermostat to off position, no change. Only time it stopped is after disconnecting from shore power. Doing anything with the panel is out of my depth and I won’t tackle that job. Thank you for the reply

Sometimes the dealer adds the washer and dryer and reworks the load center. Try your washer/dryer circuit breaker and see if that shuts off the center A/C.

Do you have a separate washer and dryer or a combo unit?
On some coaches the center A/C is wired to the same breaker as the dryer. It uses an Intellitec load share relay to run one of the devices at a time. On hot days if the dryer is running, it will cycle the A/C until the dryer is stopped.

Coach came with the Splendide combo unit (which is great clothes hamper, but not much else) and I have flipped the 2nd breaker from the bottom in the pic to see if that does the trick.
Thanks so much for the great suggestion!

Nope, that didn’t do the trick.

OK, Bill Willard and Happy Cars, unless one of you two or another expert owner user has the answer, it’s off to a service center in Medford Oregon next week. Currently in Redmond, and of course we are smack in the middle of the holiday weekend.

Only other suggestion I could make is to do a reset of the thermostat. The method should be in the owners manual.

To reset the thermostat, turn the black button on the under side off.
Depress the top and bottom buttons (Mode and Zone) and turn the thermostat back on. It should flash FF when the reset is complete.

If resetting the thermostat doesn't do it, try this.

unplug shore power. Turn off solar if you have it.

remove the 6 hex bolts on the electrical panel.Click image for larger version

Once you get the cover off, the insides will look something like this.

ID:	300036 Pull the 2 plugs I have circled. Wait a few minutes and then plug them back in.

Check the fuse that is there. It's between the 2 plugs and towards the back. (it should be okay, but since you're there).

Put the electrical cover back on and plug in shore power.

Thanks much Bill, I will tackle that in the AM when I don’t need to run the other two AC units. As always, the support on this site is amazing and a tremendous help.
