Re: Proactive AC Replacement?

Neal, thanks for the data. Dba is easy enough, will check that. Already know t he front is not as noisy as the back.....MAYBE, might be because in back when trying to sleep so notice it. I, plus Don Hay I think, at times run the back AC, duct air to front and shut off the front due to noise as watch tv, etc.
ANYWAY, good things to check.
Now, I visited with MOT and got two advices. What is on the coach if, if, working well, is probably better than a replacement. Those were really good units back then. If I want to replace just one, use the board in the existing and place it in the new so can keep the controller I have (five button) but if I were to change out both Acs, it would take new controller. (I am condensing this quite a bit)
The cost becomes higher than I thought and rather than replace one, given the board/controller matter, we are going to check all parameters to be sure it in proper ranges, etc. I told MOT that I leave the AC turned on now, this time of year, set to 80+ degrees. That, in my thinking, would show up a problem if one plus it is better to run a little than none. The cover over the coach reduces the need to cool very often.
I think Roger gave me typical good guidance. Try to keep what I have. And I will take the steps Neal suggests, be sure all clean, noise not indicating a problem, check temp differentials (which I found before to be about 20+).
Thanks all.....by the way, Hay replaced with an Atwood was I recall and is pleased.
