Greetings all;

The missus and I went full time and we've had our 97 Holiday Rambler
Endeavor LE for 3 years now.

So, in short, the rear AC wouldn't come on and I found the rear ambient air
sensor (on 15' of cable) coiled up and on top of the control box. Doesn't
sound right to me...

Any idea on where it should be? The front sensor is attached to the
tstat....

TIA,

Steve in AZ

Steve, what is your definition of "control box"? Do you mean the
thermostat? Or inside the roof unit itself?

A lot of units locate that sensor along an INSIDE wall in the BR...not
on an OUTSIDE wall, of course. Some also swear by locating it inside
the roof unit so the return air influences it's reading better.
Bottom line is there doesn't appear to be any ONE best location for
it....Depends on your own coach's conditions, I'd think. Maybe time
for a little trial and error with moving it around.
