A little history, we purchased a 2018 Jayco 31UL Precept, used with 3000 miles on it.
as we all know, the 2 year Jayco warranty is no good to us.
We did purchase an extended policy through the finance department. it has been good to us so far.
Replaced a dinette slide motor, would work and part way in would stop, if I "helped it" by pulling on the frame work and wife working the wall switch, we could get in in.
Also the Garmin/Fusion Infotainment system just completely quit... on our first real trip, vacation use. From Jacksonville to Key West. Used phone for navigation and music.
$100.00 deductible for both. OK not bad.
Dealer asked if we would like to come pick it up and use it as it would be 4 to 6 weeks to get parts. but warned us, if anything else were to come up needing repair they would have to start a new work order and charge another $100.00 deductible.
Guess what, story below.
OK,
So we have pretty much the same symptoms as everyone here is saying,
When AC works, it works well, but suddenly will start blowing semi-warm air.
We have been dealing with this for a little while now.
It started once we picked the unit up from the dealer while waiting for the parts to come in from original visit.
So I said, hey, the chassis is covered under Fords 3Yr 36K mike warranty.
We are lucky enough to have a Ford truck center close to us, so I took it there first.
Said the system had extremely high refrigerant pressure so they replaced the AC compressor and filter/dryer, evacuated the system and charged with refrigerant.
Service adviser said it is work properly now. If anything else happens, it has to be a RV manufacture problem and it did, from there the our first fuel stop!
Shut the RV off to fuel, once started, no cold/cool air!!!!
Dealt with it till we took it back to the dealer when the original problem parts showed up.
After a lot of back and forth banter with the service adviser there (said they don't do AC work) They decided they would take a look at it.
They said they found a defective actuator motor, need to order part, 4-6 more weeks.
Oh, and another $100.00 deductible.
Well, at time of pick up. the dang thing worked fine,,, on my 45 minute drive back to Jacksonville, it quit working again!?!?
Getting ready for a trip to Charleston, went to fuel up,,, worked fine.
Trip to Charleston bout froze us out, had to direct away away from us is was so cold.
Trip home from Charleston, bout an hour into trip,,, luke warm are again.
Thinking about it, it quit working while we were going over a very bumpy/rough bridge. Rattling the hell out of the RV.
My conclusion is a loose connection somewhere??
Does the Ford AC compressor have small relay's that control the compressor on/off?
Wish I could figure out how the see the actual compressor while on the road to see if the compressor clutch is actually engaging and turning the compressor??
If you made it through this read, thanks for listening/reading the post.
Has anyone had the same symptom's or better yet an actual fix?
Thank you, Rick
