Keep the condenser and radiator free of bugs and debris. During periods of little use, operate the
A/C system monthly to keep the compressor lubricated. Periodically inspect belts and hoses for
wear and proper tension.
If repairs are necessary during the terms of the recreation vehicle warranty, please contact the
nearest authorized Four Winds International dealer for service. In the event repairs are necessary
during transit, contact Four Winds Customer Service. Certain individual parts of the Heating and
Air Conditioning System such as the compressor, dryer and condenser are covered under the
chassis manufacturer warranty.

unauthorized repairs may void the warranty.
The recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof mounted air conditioner. This air conditioner
operate from 120 Volt AC only, either from shore power or the on-board generator. Air conditioner
functions are controlled by the comfort control panel.
You can expect to see up to 18 to 20 degree differences in temperature between the closest A/C
outlet vent and the return air inlet grill under most operating conditions.
Factors that can affect the performance of the cooling system:
• Use window and patio awnings when outside ambient temperature is above
95° F to help deflect the Sun load during the heat of the day. If window awnings
are not installed then use shades or blinds to deflect the Sun.
• Try to avoid using the cooktop or oven when the ambient temperature is over
95° F.
• Keep windshield covered when facing the afternoon Sun when parked.
• The number of windows within the slideouts and the number of cold air registers
to handle heat gain when facing the afternoon Sun.
