  1. Are the circuit breakers kicking off, or the EMS system shutting it down. On my Diplomat, I have two AC's. If the power drops, or if I am running too much electrical stuff, the rear AC is the first thing my EMS shuts down.
  2. Actually, the unit is so quiet that you can barely tell when it cycled on and off. I usually kept it at about 70 in the bedroom at night, and I don't think it cycled too many times.
  3. I replaced my rear unit on my Diplomat with the Houghton last year and love it. It cools and heats very well and runs very quietly. The only drawback is that the fan runs all of the time, and doesn't shut off when it reaches the set temperature like the Dometic, if that is bothersome to you just shut it off with the remote. We spent June through August at Doheny SB last year and the Houghton would keep the whole coach comfortable with no problem. When its time to replace my front unit, I will probably go with the Houghton, and just keep my furnaces wired into my old thermostat. I was told by the tech that installed it that the RJ11 telephone cable that goes from the thermostat to the AC has nothing to do with the Furnace, as they are wired differently to the thermostat. The tech just unplugged it and both the front and rear furnaces work fine.

  5. I replaced my rear duo therm on my 2004 Diplomat with the Houghton 15 btu with the heat pump and remote controlled (right around $1150 delivered). I bypassed the rear station on my thermostat, and have the heater hooked up to the front station that still has the duo therm unit. This unit works great, and is super quiet. I live in the high desert area of SoCal, and we recently had temps in the low to mid 90's. I just ran this unit to see how it does, and it kept my entire RV at a comfortable temperature with it set at 74 deg. This draws about 3/4 of the load that the Duo therm does. So far I am happy with it. I will be spending several months this summer along the coast, so I will see how it does with the heat and humidity. If it does well, I will probably the front unit with one also. It's not quite a convienient as having everything run off from one thermostat (These will not work with a wall mounted thermostat), but I can deal with that issue.
  6. If yours has the aluminum roof, you should use aluminum rivets to reattach it. Steel screws or steel rivets can cause a chemical reaction with aluminum and cause the aluminum to corrode, and erode away. You might use a little larger rivet in the same home, or drill new holes close to the old ones.
  7. I just had my floor redone with laminate wood look. The first thing I bought before using the slide were Lippert slide out slickers to protect the flooring. I used four on the Drivers slide out.
  8. Steve, I have a 2004 Monaco Diplomat
  9. Does anyone know how to access the gear driven step cover motor. My step cover is partially in, I can hear the motor turning but the screw is not moving. There is very little room to work, and the motor is recessed about three feet in.
  10. I agree that the post has gone off the rails. Can we get back to the "Increase Power in ISC" subject. As I said before, I'm looking in to the AG Diesel Solutions device, I have a 2004 8.3 330 hp Cummings. Has anyone any information on this unit? https://www.agdieselsolutions.com/ I would really like to find more information on this device...

  12. Cost/time wise mostly. I plan on keeping the unit and am not too concerned about someone down the line not liking the system. I need to use the unit for an extended period of time in the near future at the So Cal Beach area. The AC went out on us last August while we were there, the front (15K Dometic) AC really got overworked, especially because of the humidity. I found that if I replaced it with a newer duo therm, I would also have to buy some type of electrical adapter (about $300) so that it would be compatible with my existing wall thermostat. One technician told me that I would have to replace both units because the adapter works both stations. That would put be at well over three times the cost of the one RecPro. I had to drop quite a bit of money in it recently, because of slide out leaks, we just purchased it last August, and are the third owner. I figured that if we aren't happy with the RecPro. I will upgrade to two new penguins next fall.
  13. I was looking in to replacing my rear AC/heat pump unit with a Recpro 15k Btu AC with heat pump. This unit has a built in thermostat with it's own remote, so I won't tie in to my existing Wall thermostat. My question is, will I still be able to use my wall thermostat to control the front AC and my furnace, if only one unit is connected to the wiring?
  14. Has anyone used a RecPro 15K Air Conditioning unit with a heat pump, and if so, how would you rate it. I cannot find any reviews on the RecPro AC units.
