Truma AC

Am I correct thinking one cannot set the AC fan to only run when the compressor is running, like a home unit?

Unfortunately you're correct!

Or, fortunately, for those of us who need some white noise to block out loud snorers. 😂

That would be the snorer option. 

 

I just thought it was odd that the fan could not, or would not match the compressor.

Haha very true and I feel your pain, I have to sleep with earbuds because of “a” loud snorer…..and it’s not me!😜

This is a topic that is discussed on multiple forums and also YouTube regarding the inability to control humidity with RV AC units that run the fan continually. Unfortunately the design principal of having the temperature control sensor mounted in the plenum air stream for the purpose of cycling the compressor relegates the owner to a life of cycling humidity levels in exchange for constant air circulation. 

I know it would likely add considerable cost to the AC system but wouldn't it be nice of they would design the units with a variable speed fan that ramps up and down to control temperatures in the cabin and thus allow the compressor to run longer and eliminate the short on/off cycles that result in humidity spikes.

Many European and Australian  sold units use a variable speed compressor.

Eventually,  we'll get it here.
