| Description of the problem | While camping it began to rain so we closed all the windows and turned on the ac it never really cooled the cabin so we thought maybe needed time so the next morning we had it on full blast and left to go see the little white house and when we got back later that afternoon maybe 4pm. When the door was opened extremely hot air hit me in the face and i could hardly breathe it was so hot in the trailer. Good thing i left my dog at home or he would have died in the trailer from a heat stroke!!! The window unit is in a cabinet with a vent in the back but the exhaust air is not separated from the intake air and it recycles its own hot air! So the cabinet on top of the ac was so hot it melted the bag of marshmallows turned my bananas black, and the handles on all the drawers and cabinet that was on the same island with the ac was very hot to the touch! We returned the camper a 3rd time for repairs they found that shasta did not wire the exhaust fan into the electrical system!!! |
