eBay PT 40 - Anyone familiar?

[Tom Warner]

I believe that the cruiseairs are getting a bad rap when it comes to
not cooling if the road temperature is high etc, much along the same
lines as "The chassis air does not work very well so we fire up the
generator when we travel and power the roof airs"). Both statements
in my opinion many be true in some cases but why?

The design of the cruiseairs in my opinion is better then a roof top
A/C, since the condenser is mounted in a protected area under the
coach and the evaporator separated by several feet (unlike a rooftop
A/C) and mounted inside the coach. The cruiseair unit has a much
larger pump and evaporator radiator. I believe that in those cases
where the owner is not getting good cooling from the cruiseairs it is
because they need servicing after so many years.

All three of the cruiseairs in my previous 1982 FC35 (even in very
hot southern weather) and the present PT 40 work very well and have
never failed to cool the coach down very quickly. Normally we only
use one of the cruiseairs either in the back bedroom area during the
day if we are in the front of the coach or vice versa during the
night if A/.C is necessary.
I would suggest that anyone that has cruiseairs where the exit air is
above 40 degrees have them checked by a person that knows how to
properly service them.
