Nan

Thanks so much. Wonder why the fuse didn't blow?? And why would the relay burn up after running the AC this summer??

Oh and I forget to say that the thermistor was re-routed to the inside of the camper..actually it is right beside of TV wires. I ran the AC on the last camping trip and it worked great that that.

Thanks for the e-mail. Yes, Houghton designed their AC without giving a thought to humidity in the South of the US.

Can anyone help me?

I bought a Houghton air conditioner. But the air blower would not cut off when the compressor cut off. So, grandson installed a relay to make that happen. I used the AC one time and all was well, but this camping trip the compressor would not come on (just the fan). I had a local camper repair man come and he said the relay is burned up. I have another relay, but do not want to install it without knowing why the first relay failed. Has anyone had this happen?? Thanks so much!

Is there any way to combine the black tank with the grey tank? I have a composting toilet and could really use the extra storage the black tank could provide. Thank you.

Just read your post! Thank you so much for the information John!!!

Sherry, the water heater works fine..it is the refrigerator that was not working on gas, but working on 30 amp. I am going to try turning on the stove the next time I am over at the camper and then see if the refrigerator will fire off.

Just saw your post, sherry. No error codes. I do not think I have any place for error codes on my fridge. The HW tank worked great while camping. I did notice when I turned on the tank the gauge showed red and green at the same time..this happened on both tanks. I will try the stove and see if it lights. Thanks.

I had both gas valves open (one at a time). Maybe I have a problem with the regulator or the gas lines themselves. Now that I am back, I will pull the big cover and try to check it out. Thank you so much for responding to my question.

OK, I just got back from North Carolina camping where the refrigerator worked just fine because it was plugged into 30 amp. So, the story is that it does not work on Gas..I hear a clicking noise, but that is it...what should I look for? Thanks.

Thanks, I have waited since last night for the refrigerator to cool and until about 2:00 this afternoon..I then switched it over to DC and again the freezer is getting cold and maybe the fridge is a little cooler (however I put 6 frozen bottles of water in fridge..so that may be why it is cooler). I am leaving for Apex, NC in the morning and refuse to cancel because of the problem. The temp in Savannah, Ga. is about 100 degrees (with the heat index) just about everyday and the camper is parked at the end of the drive way in the sun. Thanks. And, I am going to ask Grandson to change out the fan and replace it with two when I get back.

Thanks, I just put in a call for the Oliver service dept.

Just looked at it again and the freezer is working just fine, but the refrigerator is not cooling at all. Thanks, Nan Hull 267

Please help me one more time. I believe the cooling fan for the refrigerator is not working. Can someone please tell me where it is located and maybe a part number to order it? Thanks again, Nan Wallace 2017 Hull 267

Thank you so much for the information!!!

Thanks! Someone looked at the camper today and asked me why I do not have a cover for the wheel bearings that has a grease fitting on it so that you could grease the bearings without taking anything apart. That is why I was asking on this forum. Have you ever heard of such a thing and would it work??

OK, did not have the gas tank turned on...😚 But still do not know if the bearings are sealed or not. Thanks again.

I have two questions please: 1). Are my bearings sealed? 2). Refrigerator: if the Auto and Gas lights and the number 5 are lit and I have plenty of gas, why is the refrigerator not cooling? Thanks so much for the information. Nan Wallace Hull #267

I bought my mattresses from Southern Mattress. Very comfortable. Now about the sheets...yes, you can buy them that have the curved edges, but after killing my self changing them every few days, I decided life was too short. So, I just lay a sheet over the bedspread and call it a day. If you will privately e-mail me your address, I will send you two sets of sheets. My e-mail address is: Walliered@aol.com Blessings.

Hope someone can answer this: Installed the Houghton, but want to be able to use the factory heater so I bought a Honeywell thermostat Pro 1000 that says "Heat only"..does anyone know how to wire this thermostat for the old heater use? If I interrupted this tread, I am sorry. Thanks.

I cannot find the "Got Earplugs" thread. I really need to figure this out. Thank you so much.

Oliver told me to put panty hose over the vents..I found some QUEEN size white panty hose and cut the panty out and they fit pretty good..cheap fix. Take them off before turning the refrigerator on.

He sure is!! And he sold the old air conditioner for $550 on Marketplace in less than 24 hours! That really offset the price of the Houghton!!

Grandson installed the Houghton 13.5 AC about a week ago. It is so quiet, but the fan ran all of the time. And the humidity was up to 95%..I could not take that, so Grandson installed a switch that shuts down the fan. And the humidity is MUCH better. It also came with a Thermistor Probe, but he has not had time to install that. The only thing that it is doing that is a little funky is the hand held controller is set on 72 and the temp. in the Oliver is about 82..
