Camping Air Conditioner

Where can I get a repair manual for a Carrier air conditioner for my camping trailer?

The Carrier air conditioner on my camper never has cooled to my satisfaction. I bought it new and It's going into its 2nd year of use. Does anyone know where I can get a repair manual, or what the freon pressures ought to read? Any trouble shooting hints?

See if this site helps.I believe you can link to Carrier from here.

I too have Carrier A/C's on the roof of my motorhome and I feel they could do a better job. I need to pull the external cover off and see if everything is clean and free from dirt & alge build up.

My units are 4 years old and don't seem to cool as well as my Duo Therm units did on my previous motorhome. The intake filters don't seem to catch much dust so I suspect the inner coils may need cleaned.

My two Duo Therms would cool my Raita 36' coach down to 72 degrees in 90 degree ambient. At the moment my two Carriers will only cool this UltraSport 35" to 78 degrees in 92 ambient.

Good luck. I'd like to trade my carriers for Duo Therms except fot the remotes I have also control my furnace. I see no cure there other than run thernostat wire along the ceiling and walls.

Additional thoughts: Carrier might not want you to have a service/repair manual. It would not be good for business if everyone could repair their own A/C.

For TV & radio people there is a source of repair manuals. I believe they are called Sams Books or something with Sam in the name. If I'm correct, they were really called Sams Photofacts. It's possible something is published for A/C's
