Because we opted to have our swimming pool filled in last summer instead of taking a trip, it’s been two years since we’ve taken our 5th wheel trailer on the road. I’ve been getting it ready for the past couple weeks, and it has been challenging to say the least.
So far, in addition to normal cleaning and dewinterizing, I have had to fix the water heater, the DirecTV satellite system, and a small but persistent leak at one of the slide-outs. Yesterday, the air conditioner - which had been working fine – decided to quit.
The compressor comes on, but the fan just hums. I found that giving the fan a little spin would start it running, an almost sure sign of a a bad start capacitor, but replacing the capacitor didn’t help. Now we are waiting for a new motor, which should be here Monday.
The only good news is that this happened now, and not a week into a 30 day trip.
