- Today when it was 105 degrees on the lot, JR decided to do a video about A/Cs not working. Most of the time in RVs with the AC off....after he had a heat stroke we uploaded this video....
NO JRs WERE HARMED IN THE SHOOTING OF THIS VIDEO!
What do you do if you are camping and your AC just stops working?
Ever wonder why you keep tripping breakers in your camper?
Here is the 1,000 mile view into A/C and power and breakers

You, sir, are a Saint. I was contemplating replacing an airconditioner and looked up at my microwave, then went and reset my breaker. Thank you.
So glad I could help!

Great video. I am a new RV owner was dealing with an electrical issue involving my slides & leveling system. After many 5:23 web searches I found myself heading to th 5:23 e right direction to fix that issue. The AC’s were working fine but when I reset the main breaker they shut off and wouldn’t restart. Lesson learned always shut AC’s off at thermostat if working on electrical system. Long story short, I fixed the issues with the slides & leveling system and got them working again (breaker in the battery compartment), but the AC still was not working. I found your video & when you got to the power hookup I had an epiphany. Went outside & sure enough my Power Watchdog surge protector had tripped. I reset it, went back in flipped on the main breaker, then the AC breakers & then turned on the AC’s at the thermostat & everything was running like before. 😅 Thanks to you & your video. Many many thanks!
Happy camping!
New sub here!!!
Thank you seconds into your video I got my A/C blowing high ❤ I’m shivering… now if BMPRO will let me adjust it, I’d be thrilled 😊.
My ac is running again because of this video. Thanks so much. You got a new subscriber now.
Thanks Gary, happy to help!
Great video, checked all that stuff and no go. My AC stopped working when we left the camp site and I think the problem started when we disconnected from the camp power and the AC may have been running when we disconnected. I started the generator later to get some air and the AC would not start. Any ideas?
For Pete's sake people when you have to change a fuse use the same amp fuse. Don't do like my brother used to do back in the 80s. "That 15 amp fuse is blown, I'll put in a 30 amp fuse so it won't blow again." That fuse is meant to blow in case of a power surge. It's a lot cheaper to replace than an electrical component. Go to the hardware store and buy extras to keep on hand for just such an emergency. Plus, you'll be a good neighbor when someone needs a fuse and they don't have one.
100% Agree! We still see that all the time today

@@KeystoneRVCenter I feel like I just won an Oscar.
We got the youtube oscar here...come check it out

You're great. Informative and entertaining. You get the gold star.
Thanks, Golfman! Happy to help 😃
Excellent video. Been resetting my breaker for a week. Only getting 109 volts during peak heat. Older campgrounds electric systems just aren't up to the modern RV's.
Glad it helped
I got a new product I found for that issue that works great!
-JR
Steve, the Wizard behind the curtain! Lol. JR, great job!
You know it!
-JR
Thank you soooo much, it is 115 degrees today 97 in my trailer it was the breaker in my trailer, God Bless you ,Arizona July 15
Happy to help, Linda!
Thank u I thought my a/c broke but it was just the breaker box . It's 95 degrees. U saved my life
Happy to help, stay cool out there!
Thanks a lot man this 🎥 help me and my family out keep it up much much love
Glad I could help
-JR
Really enjoyed this timely video and the bonus Steve material was a great. Potential video...fixing wall paper that bubbles. Cosmetically looks terrible, but also doesn’t seem worth bringing in for repair and losing camping time so a DIY on best way to fix a bubble or seam would be (selfishly) useful. Thx for the vids JR.
Glad you enjoyed it we are going to do more with Steve in the background
I will bring that up to steve and hope he can show me how to show all of you
-JR
Thank you for the video you saved my camping trip!!!!
Happy camping!
Thank you 89 degrees thought our trip was over
Happy to help, Jeff!
Just bought a 99 Shasta, very informative video, thank you
Happy to help, George!
2008 SS2500 weekend warrior. AC was fully working, all of the sudden it stop! checked all breakers, GFI's, & batteries, it all looks good. any ideas?
My AC kicks off and when I turn the thermostat off for a few seconds and back on then it will run but shuts off again. is it overheating? Also it is not the safety temp switch on the condenser I removed it and jumped it just to see if that was kicking off.
This video was phenomenal! Exactly what I needed to know and we have our AC up and running again! May I please have a link to your digital "tip jar"? Thanks!
I have never set one up but it is a good idea. For now this is tip enough I am so glad this could help you
-JR
Thank you for this video. Appreciate it.
My pleasure!

I woke up to my ac breaker tripped and it wont turn back on. No blown fuses though! What do you think i could be?
Great stuff cobber. If builders would install heavier wiring, you could avoid most problems. The extra weight is not a huge deterrent. I buy brand new camper and wiring problems left, right and centre. So I upgrade my wiring myself, and 99% of problems solved... especially battery charging. Unfortunately I can't do a whole lot on the AC circuit as its concealed darn it.
Mike question We blew the conveter unit had to get a new one. Now we have 120 to all the outlets. When we turn on AC works for a few minutes than drop volts and AC drop half power and have shut down. We have klein recp.tool we put in outlets and reas 120 but when we turn onAC it goes to 137V. At start we were running the ac and lights and than heard a loud pop which was the compacertors blew. Back to AC when we turn on AC the outlet tools reads 137 and has a fault.
Any help Rich
JR can you do a video. On surge protectors vs EPO’s and how to choose the correct unit for your RV?
If its what I am thinking of that Watch Dog 30 or 50 EPO that's a completely different animal all together. That is a device that does a little bit of surge from my understand but keeps the power up where it should be. I like the design but have not played with one. I tend to recommend things I personally use. I have not used this so I will not put my rubber stamp on it. But I am looking into them close now. I would not say you're wrong for going with one but I would check with the manufacture about its limits as a dedicated surge protector
-JR
This vid just solved my exact problem! Thank you!
Happy camping, James!
Thanks for the tips. Our PUP (1640 Rockwood Freedom) A/C randomly stopped working like something was tripped. Other stuff worked like lights etc, fuses weren’t blown, breakers weren’t tripped, etc. So I’m not sure it was the campgrounds fault. But I can’t for the life of me see why it quit like that. Usually they’ll get loud or weird sounding but completely quitting is unexpected. Dealer is hours away which is not trivial to get it down there. Not pleased to say the least, and not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for your videos
I am so happy to make them and even more so to read the comments. I love how much I can help everyone
-JR
Just bought camper and the ac works good but I’m not getting air out of all the air vents? It’s a heartland trail runner 2022
Something else I've noticed is that the microwave in my 38ft Alpine is gynormous, but I never use it. But whether in use or not it's still drawing power, I have the microwave on a surge protector and just keep it in the off position so that it's not competing for juice...
No disagreement. Good Idea
-JR
Great video. My only question is why/how is the fuse panel (12 v, right ?) related to the A/C, as it is 110v. ?? thanks in advance.
Good question! With an RV that is a converter. Thats where the 110v power comes in get converted to 12 volt goes up and charges the battery and where the battery comes back and powers the 12 volt fuse panel
JR
Should I have my windows open or close or 50/50
Very helpful man! Ac went out and this video was $$$$
Glad it helped, Douglas!
Saved me $$$$$.
Hello i am asking further on the chaparral. I just watched your video about different ways to check air conditioner. Here are problem it was working the paek has to temporarily shut off . When they turned it back on. The back ac isnt working bur the front is. I saw you video and there is no red light, fuses are all alligned. What next. I turned my ac off and then turned it back on. Nothing. Hiw cone one works and the other not. Can you help please to trouble shoot this. Thank you any help you offer.
My dometic ac control panel won’t light up. I turned it off at the panel a couple of hours ago and now it’s not lighting up to turn on. The fridge is on and the lights are on but the ac hasn’t lit up. Thank you Louise from Australia
THANK YOU SO MUCH! The ac stopped working in the middle of a Florida summer and we saw a tripped breaker. Watched this video and you fixed the problem by simply turning the breaker down for a minute then turning back on! I want to say it took a woman’s touch but I learned from you! So thank you! This was on a 2021 KZ Durango !!
Glad it helped, Monica!
My Ac isn't working during the day but when it gets cool outside in the evening it starts to work could you please maybe give me some direction to go in to find the problem
I run a percolator on the stove as well. BRCC too. Great stuff. #brcc
Right on! Just made mine this morning
-JR
Excellent again
Thanks a lot

So today my ac shut off and would not turn the unit on but I have power at the thermostat.... ac unit is only about a year and a half old . If I cycle through fan heat ac and off it will kick on for about 30 min then the unit will shut off and not kick back on with power still to thermostat any ideas?
My breaker was thrown. I didn’t realize I had to turn it off and back on. I thought it was already off, since it was thrown. Thanks
I was having this very problem. My fix was to flip the microwave breaker to off, as I don't use it much at all. Seem to help fix the problem.
Dude everything draws power just sitting. Its a game to try and get the right balance of power
-JR
2007 huricane rv front ac worked fine back didnt.now all of a sudden rear works but front doesnt..Breaker not tripped..any help?
Love your video,I have a problem with my camper,I installed a double amps breaker instead of a single one,I smell something burning turn off main breaker and put in a single 30 amps, everything else works but my ac and microwave, need your help thanks
I would have to see whats going on with the wiring checking to see if we have issues from the converter to the outlets. Long story short I need it in the service department
-JR
entertaining and good production values
Thank you
Just ordered a new mic so now we should be slightly better

Hello I have a 08 Montana Mountaineer Series M-32 PRD the black water pvc pipe that leads to the sewer hose hook up has a sawed open portion along the top of the pipe.
Is this for venting or has some one done this after the fact?
Thank you. William
We do not sell Keystone products but that does not sound factory designed

i have power coming in to my ac but it wont come on fuses are good
Hey Siri I have a 2002 26 ft travel trailer Sunnybrook the AC was running perfectly then something popped the breaker so I flipped the breaker and the light was barely coming on found a little 30amp fuse was popped replaced that light works again but no ac and the yellow wire was really hot so i dont know what to do from here and as long as I keep that fuse out everything works but ac
Love the PJs
Thank you
Was running a small power washer on the outside outlet and running the AC at the same time. After a few minutes, everything shut down. Checked all the breakers, fuzes and still will not power up
Check the GFI?
-JR
What do you do when your converter /fuse box feels hot to the touch?
Get it to a service department to find out why
-JR
We have a 2018 Forrest River. My A/C shutdown and know I’m getter a E1 code AC will not start and the 12v lights inside camper not working as well. What can I check? Breaker is good
Would need to know the brand ac you have
-JR
My bedroom ac is working, but my main is not. I flipped the breakers inside and out and no red lights on my fuses. It stormed here pretty bad earlier this morning but I wouldn’t think that would have something to do with it. Not sure what else to do?
Same situation TODAY. ONE side working the other isn't. Did you figure it out?
My 2016 Keystone Fusion Chrome AC is not working any ideas? I've checked the fuses and i'm confused about the position of the battery disconnect.
Any suggestions?
And you have shore power coming to the coach?
JR
You just solved my problem thank you!
I was busy reading comments and didn't even see
I try thank you for watching and commenting
-JR
If there is a amber light at the control box that is not next to a fuse indicating something else?
This is a new one for me
-JR
Nice video. However, what if it’s AC is bad?
Needs removed and replaced. See the pros at that point
-JR
My husband turned the ac on and then off too fast and now the ac won’t come back on I checked all the fuses and and everything else seems to be working fine no tripped breakers and the converter is still lit green
I have a domestic on top of my Argosy. I turned it on and it immediately went off. I checked the capacitor. The capacitor is good. I checked the breaker. The breaker is good. I put a brand new one in and a brand new capacitor. What do you think is wrong?
Sorry to say but I would have to put it into the shop for diag. I wish we could diag over the internet
-JR
Thank you! This helped and my husky's thank you lol
I can't get heat or ac to work checked out side pole and inside breakers and fuses. I have nothing. 2006 coachman
u saved my butt thanks dude
No problem!
I have a grand design with 2 ac units front unit gets power - rear unit has no power all breakers are set - no red lights. Outside power box is good - any clue
That is odd
I would have to get it in the shop
Why would my ac/ microwave and plugs not work? But lights and fridge work? Breaker wasn’t tripped and fuses are fine. Brand new camper
The one problem I'm having is the air control shut off and the only way to turn it back on is to cycle through the thermostat to turn it off and then go back to air conditioner turn back on in about 30 seconds
Mine was a blow capacitor in the AC
short vacation 3 days Amazon 20 bucks later now we carry a extra capacitor
That can do it
-JR
I have a 1990 sierra cobra and the a/c stopped working. I checked all the fusing. The fuses are all working. When I turn on the air conditioner it makes NO noise. It won't turn on at all. What do you think it can be?
Something that old we would need it in the shop to diag
-JR
@@KeystoneRVCenter what about this same issue in a 2017 grand design? Dometic AC was running fine until it just stopped and won’t come back on
We have tried all your recommendations. Unfortunately, the red light on the breaker box is still on and no ac! What next
If you have a red light on it sounds like it is a bad fuse not breaker. Did you check the 12 volt fuses?
-JR
Ac stopped checked all breakers at the box and converter box . Thermostat will turn down but can’t turn it up . But ac not working
I would guess the thermostat but I would have to see the unit to diagnose it
-JR
2022 Flagstaff Shamrock 19 Purchased from Y'all. AC quits running after 10 minutes or so, all breakers/fuses fine nothing tripped everythig else in camper works.... wait 5 minutes turn AC off and back on and AC runs again. Using Shore power from house, using standard 110 outlet and extension cord with a 30 AMP to 110 pigtail adapter....Thoughts? Thx...
Can I Reply to My own question?...Sure...Problem Solved...Took off AC filters and saw large amounts of expanding foam insulation that was restricting about 1/4 of the intake airflow...Removed excess and WOW the airflow increased thru all the ducting quite a bit...Also realized that there is a AC vent directly above the thermostat and it was blowing cold air on it and tricking the thermostat to a false temp reading and shutting off the AC...duh....all set now...
Same!
I do not recommend your setup. Too low of watts on the outlet. 30amp to 15amp is only charging battery
-JR
How about how to use the stabilizers correctly
Going on the list! Good Idea
-JR
I do some boondocking with a 2000 Honda gen. My air doesn't want to stay on, I've started turning the dc converter off and the ac works great. Is this OK as long as my batteries are topped off?
I like 4000 watts for gens when running ac
-JR
@@KeystoneRVCenter I like 4000 watts also. Just bigger I have 2 of the Hondas 2000. AC runs fine with one 2000 with the converter off.I was just wondering by having the converter off when running ac, is all I'm losing is battery being charged? I purchased a 2021 zinger by crossroads for work when out of town. Dealer has no knowledge about rvs, hopefully my next purchase will be keystone by Batman.. Thanks for the helpful videos Also I like a fat banking account (not always possible )🙂
I would run two Honda 2000 with the parallel kit
I would not trip the breaker for the converter thats going to kill the battery from charging.
You need a total of 4000 watts for a gen in my opinion
-JR
@@KeystoneRVCenter hello i have a 3000w Honda generator and the AC is 120v in an Arctic Fox camper. My generator dies after 20min of low cooling on AC unit. Does this for sure mean i need a more powerful generator or could it be something else? I will go to 4000w generator if necessary.
I know some people have good luck with the soft start options for the Acs. I prefer a 4000 watt system
-JR
J on my Hideout just understand and just reads on like numbers 15 - 31 something like that I don't have the temperature I don't know what's wrong
What thermostat is it? Might be in C
We just uploaded a video on that
-JR
Thank you sir
God bless you
🥵
Happy to help, stay cool out there!
Hey my RV has no power not sure what the problem is. The living room lights and the room lights are not working and also the AC is not working. The only thing that works is the Plug ins to charge my phones. Do you know what it can be? Thanks
Having the same problem!! My microwave is working and my plug ins are. But no lights or ac! Which is weird because other times my power has been out my lights have run off the battery. I’ve checked fuses & breakers! 😢
If it's 50 amp it can be a dead side of the campgrounds power. Do you have a surge protector?
-JR
At all campsites or just some?
-JR
What I'm trying to do is find out can I or can I not run an AC with propane gas funny thing is there's a lot of stuff I can run off gas why not the AC!.
Why does my ac work while on sure power but not on genarator
With surge protectors I have seen gens not give the power because of an open ground
-JR
Our AC stopped (Tiffin Allegro Open Road 32SA)... No breakers thrown in the coach OR at the shore power pedestal. My solution was to turn off the AC at the thermostat.... shut off the breaker at the pedestal... wait 30 seconds... switch the pedestal breaker back "on" and turn on the AC at the thermostat. It comes back on every time! No breakers thrown... ANYWHERE!. Can anyone explain this?
A/C fan Doesn't have normal power ( speed)
Is this The Capacitor problem
Only Noise that want to Kick also
Have to get it in and get it tested.
-JR
We had our AC on and it went out and the lightsare not even working. My husband check the security breakers and the box outside. All breaker are set fine. We are stumped
Lightsare?
Lights are not working in the coach.
Having the same problem!!! 😭
Show how to use a domestic thermostat please
I did a video on that hang on let me put the link in
ruclips.net/video/oMXQ3LjHtvM/видео.html
My hornet keystone AC not coming on
Would need to know more details. Like what power is going to it. Does the thermostat work anything else.
My best advice is get it to a professional
-JR
@@KeystoneRVCenter same. I have power to thermostat power to control module but no output power from control module to AC. Thought a new control module would solve the issue. But still having the same issue no output power. 2007 keystone hornet
Blind as a bat as always need help of course.
Tnx for simple explanation
Happy to help, Nida!
Thanks this saved my life today lol
Happy to help, Lexi!
I have an issue with power. The AC power does not work. No breakers tripped. Generator powers the rv when running No problem. But when you use shore power the power does not operate the AC microwave or outlets. Is it the convertor or where Shore power links up with junction box.
What kind of RV is this? If the gen is hard wired in I would guess transfer switch
-JR
None of this worked. My ac and microwave are off and won't come back on at all. Everything has been checked
Have a blank on my therrostat
? Like its not turning on
That's not a good sign when you sleep above plastic. Aren't you a bit too old to still be wetting the bed.
Safety First
-JR
But what do you do when you go outside to check the breakers and there 40 red wasps protecting it when you open the panel?? Lol
If we are talking about the campgrounds pedestal it sounds like a campgrounds problem!
-JR
First! Bring Back The MULLET, JR!
Its coming back on its own. I have been spending too much time at work and the camper that I forget to get a haircut
-JR
The only breaker that trips is the a/c.
Voltage issue? Worn out breaker?
Batman !
I was so mad I forgot my batman slippers at the camper. I was gonna rock them for the video too
-JR
I have everything on. And have checked all available power sourcees. And it's all fine. Turn ac and it trips breaker. Get hot first
My microwave is off.
Good start
