I am going to attempt to clear up the complaints about the Furrion A/C issues...
The reason why the room sensor is in the A/C intake plenum is that it was designed as a multi zone system (up to 4 zones). If your rig has more than one A/C the thermostat (controller) is used to set the desired temperature, allowing each zone to maintain the set temperature in it's zone independently. This is probably not ideal for a single zone setup, they probably should have designed a different thermostat and control box for single zone setups since (probably) the vast majority are single zone.Mike and (RIP Karen)

Hello, I am a new member.
I have the same problem with the ac Furrion. I live in Florida and the temperature is too high here. I need my ac all the time. I don't know where exactly to put the room sensor to make it work well. Yesterday I placed it outside the unit between the filter slot and the unit was constantly on and off about every 5 minutes on and only on for 3 minutes and then turn off. Please if someone could help me.
Thank you

But do not get me started on the AC that cycles every 5 minutes.🙄

I was unaware the updated thermostat from Furrion only controls the furnace temperature. The video below from AZ Expert is a bit long, but well done explaining the problem. He also installs a Micro Air thermostat so it makes for an interesting installation. If you have a Furrion air conditioner in your rig this is well worth watching IMHO.

Thanks for that post Howard! Just finished watching it. My neighbor has a new Imagine XLS with the Furrion and we swear they were complaining about it this summer. I’ll give it a check out tomorrow and see if it is the same issue.
Anyone know the part number of the fixed thermostat that solves the furnace issue? I understand we have to re-locate the sensor to fix the AC issue.2022 Momentum 25G (aka "Baby Mo") | Victron Multiplus | Lithium
