This afternoon, the weather finally got to me. We were doing work in the rig, I was about going to set up my office after, and it was sweltering in here. I hate running the AC when I’m plugged into 15A, but it was either that or melt.
I shut down the water pump and water heater and turned the fridge to propane. The AC ran fine until I adjusted the thermostat one time too many and then it blew a breaker in the house. My mother showed me where to reset the breaker, I reset the thermostat, and then I turned the AC back on.
It has been running fine all afternoon. It’s now about 27C in here (81F), which is very comfortable now that the humidity is gone. I am leaving the AC on and will see if it cycles properly when it starts to get hotter in here. If it blows the breaker, I will turn it off until bedtime and recool the rig to sleep comfortably.
The problem could be that I am running off about 150′ of small gauge extension cord. I have checked the voltage on occasion and I have always been well within the acceptable limits with the cords remaining cool, so I think that as long as I don’t play with the thermostat again, causing too many shut downs and activations in too short a span of time, it will be fine.
The difference between in here and outside is incredible!
We can really relate to you here in Eastern Ontario.
We do not have airconditioning in our house but have a hudge dehumidifier in the basement so we have been escaping down there this summer to get away from the constant heat and humidity. Altrhough I must say we do enjoy spending a lot of time in our gazebo on the patio.
The humidity is supposed to break tonight, can’t wait!!!!
