At least we knew that we could schedule an air conditioner tune-up, search for somewhere to get it done, and then travel there
When my wife and I bought our RV camper, we had yet to learn about the multiple installations we’d have to make that would help with indoor comfort. We only got a more precise image of what we’d need to do when we met another RV camper with everything, including a quality HVAC unit. We didn’t have an HVAC installation in our camper yet, but the weather was still comfortable, and we hadn’t started traveling anywhere we’d need air conditioning. The other campers had bought their ductless mini-split at the local indoor comfort business where they came from and had it installed by an a/c professional from the same company. We had to check whether our local cooling corporation needed what we needed and whether an a/c worker could install it correctly. Unfortunately, they did not have it, but the town next to ours had it, so I had to schedule a day and drive there for the cooling specialist at that business to install it for us. I didn’t even know we needed a digital thermostat to help the unit run efficiently, especially since we’d be using solar and battery power. It sounded complicated, worse than when we’d had to understand how the electric heat pump we installed in our home worked. Finding an air conditioner service once we started moving wouldn’t be difficult, especially if we encountered an unexpected problem. At least we knew that we could schedule an air conditioner tune-up, search for somewhere to get it done, and then travel there. We have been fine with the unit since it was installed, and we’ve met more RV campers with good ideas on how to care for the unit, which has been helpful.
