I have a 2018 jayflight 267 bhs. We have only camped in it twice. The A/C cools the camper fine But the fan cycles on and of several times before it comes on and stays on. The compressor does not come on until the last cycle of the fan. Each cycle of the fan is about a minute until it stays on for good. If I adjust the temperature down one degree it comes on and cools without the fan cycling. So I'm certain the problem is in the thermostat. I hate to drag it back to the dealer for such a small problem. Is there something I can do to fix this? Maybe a setting or adjustment.
 
Welcome to the forum.


Do you have a digital thermostat from the factory? 1 Degree is a very small change.

Is there a FAN setting for 'ON' and 'AUTO'? If so, is problem with the fan set to 'AUTO' or 'ON'?
 
I would just buy a new Tstat on Amazon, if it corrects the problem call it a day and save the hassle with the dealer spending weeks or more trying to fix it. If that doesn't work send it back to Amazon and let the dealer handle it.

That's exactly what I would do.

Did the same thing with my water heater. Control board went bad, there was a slew of them out at the time that were bad. I bought one off Amazon that was "aftermarket", replaced it in about 10 minutes, good to go. No hassle with dealership, no replacement with crappy OEM parts, no travel. Even though it cost me about $140 to buy the board, I still came out ahead by NOT taking it in for warranty repair.
