Is the airflow blocked?
Closed or blocked vents and a dirty air filter
can hinder the efficiency of a heat pump.
•
Be sure ceiling vents are open to distribute
heat pump output air. Also make sure furni-
ture, clothing items, packages or other
obstructions do not block the air return air
grilles beneath the rear bed.
•
The air conditioner filter should be checked
monthly for dirt build-up and replaced as
needed. The air filter is a disposable woven
fiberglass type, which cannot be cleaned and
should be replaced when coated with dust.
See Air Conditioner Filter for location and
instructions.
CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
NOTE: See “Electronic Thermostat” for instruc-
tions on turning the air conditioner on
and changing the thermostat settings.
The central air conditioner is mounted in an
exterior compartment on the left (driver) side of
the coach. (See page 0-4.) The compartment door
opens for easy maintenance and periodic service.
(See “Condenser Coils”) The cooled air is forced
through ducts in the ceiling of the coach. Inside
air returns to the air conditioner through a filter
system beneath the rear bed. (See “Air Condi-
tioner Filters”.)
Air Conditioner Filter
The disposable furnace type filter is located
beneath a panel under the rear bed mattress
board. The filter must be inspected and replaced
periodically so the air conditioner will operate ef-
ficiently.

Lift the foot of the rear bed mattress board,
which is hinged near the head of the mat-
tress. It is supported by gas props while
open.

Lift the filter out of the bracket assembly
beneath the access panel.
•
Place the new filter into the bracket, being
careful to observe airflow markings on the
edge of the filter.
