I just don't Sell RV's, I have camped in pop-ups, hybrids, travel trailers, 5th wheels and motor homes. Over the last few years, I have been living out of our 2021 Transcend 265BH. This gives me the opportunity to share actual camping experiences with customers. It is all about educating customers to help them make an educated decision, whether they buy from me or not.

My air conditioner has the blower on and the thermostat won't turn it off. To turn it off I have to turn off the breaker. And the heater is blowing hot air and to turn it off I have to remove the Furnace fuse because the thermostat won't turn it off either. I did the blinking lights test on the heater board and it says it's an internal problem.

Is it necessary to run the yellow romex near the power center for grounding or was that just for convenience? Could the yellow romex be routed to a breaker box located in an area under the bed (inside the basement) and avoid removing the wall panel, routing under the shower, into the kitchen, etc?

They also changed the slideout mechanism from being a Schwintek slide (which has a lot of reported issues online) to now be Lippert SLIMRACK slide-out system. I am unclear if this is going to be better or not. The notice the toothed-belt on the Lippert system is made of plastic which I find highly suspect in a large heavy slide. Waiting to hear how the new system is doing in the field.

Will Tiffin use the new 4500 Mercedes chassis to help with the ccc. Saw another Ytube with a Mercedes B plus with a 2000 ccc. They were using the 4500 chassis. I think Airstream is starting to use the 4500. I do feel the Tiffin is one of the nicest moterhome in this class unit but the low ccc does need to be corrected.
@TheAirForceGuy
@TheAirForceGuy Месяц назад
Thanks for the great question and for watching. I had that conversation with them while at the plant. Their reluctance is with the tow rating being less and the additional cost. I think as more people demand it then it will happen. Yes Airstream has the 4500 Chassis for their Atlas which has around 1,850 lbs. for Payload. GVWR/GCWR 12,125 lbs. / 15,250 for the Atlas. Also, these are Class C's as they are built on a Cutaway Chassis. Stat Surveys which shows how many are made by Manufacturers and shipped they fall in the Class C category, when registered by new owner they are a Class C. I think that It really confuses people when these companies say B+ as there is no such thing. Happy Camping.

Using the AUTO settings will reduce the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner. Also, HI does better than LO to dehumidify, but the two cool equally well.
@TheAirForceGuy
@TheAirForceGuy Месяц назад
Thanks for watt.. In speaking with several highly qualified A/C Tech, each one said the same thing. The slower the air moves over the coils that more moisture will be removed from your RV vs having it on high. During the day I run it on Low and at night when it is less humid I run it on high. I am living out of our camper and can tell you in my experience what they say is true. I feel the difference in it being less humid while on low vs high. So it feels cooler than it really is.
@jeepien
@jeepien 23 дня назад
@@TheAirForceGuy Thanks for the reply. I have to defer to experts on this, but it's surprising. I think the slower speed would remove more moisture due to increased dwell time, but would be exactly offset by less air volume passing through per unit time. But one factor I had not considered, which could argue for using low speed is that this would allow the evaporator to reach a colder temperature, would could increase the efficiency of the dehumidification, and tilt the scales in that direction. In any case, I always run mine on LO simply because the noise level is less, so if this really does dehumidify better, I am fortunate to be mistaken.

As with all of these Class C’s on the Mercedes Sprinter 3500 Chassis the payload is not much. 750 lbs. for this one. Tiffin is around the same. But these guys figure in fuel & Lp in the weights. There are others that have up to 1,100 lbs. but I am not sure if the already subtracted for the fuel & Lp. Airstream build in the 4500 Chassis and fit the Atlas they have a 1,850 lb payload.
