        I just bought a “14” ls37ik, so much learning to do, love the rig tho. But 3rd day in unite and I’m finding the bedroom a/c heater thermostat controls really are wall candy and don’t control anything and the living room controls all?? What am I missing ?

        Welcome. Are you saying that the living room thermostat controls both ac units? That seems off and it would make for some very high amp draws if both units start at the same time.

        The prior owner may have changed out the AC unit or the controls.

        Dometeq does make a thermostat that controls two and even three ac units from a single location. They can all be ducted units or mix and match. Each ac unit has a wall mounted temperature sensor in the area near that unit, usually on the wall. The master thermostat uses that sensor to decide what unit turns on when.

        Yes I have just been so busy getting other things settled I have not had the time to study but the controls in my bedroom have no function but tell me the temp of the room but when I turn up the heat or ac in the living room controls it will blow in the bedroom. As the same in the living room.. I would of thought the bedroom would turn on or stop either the heat or cool when it hits set temp…

        Need to start this as a new Topic in “FRAME & SUSPENSION COMPONENTS & TIRES” in order to keep this Topic from being Hijacked.

        Sofarinate,

        That Dometic AC can also be set up to do exactly what yours is doing.

        We need to know the brand of ac unit and type of thermostat. A photo would help.

        Most owners manuals, and often install manuals are available on mfg’s web site. But you still need the mfg model and thermo type.

        We have a 2015 LS37CKSL with one front AC and one rear HP. Control in the main area(rear) only controls the rear and control in the bedroom(front) controls the front. However the duct is connected and air blows out most all vents when either blower runs. If we need both AC’s for cooling we will set the bedroom a degree or two higher set point and it will cycle off but we still get cooling in the bedroom through the vents. Ours our Coleman units.
        What’s the name on the stat controls?

        Sorry I have been super busy taking care of everyone else’s in my family to do list and have not had a chance to take care of mine.. But yes I can dig in the file box and get the units name and # and will post here soon as it’s my turn my wife is giving me looks to get moving off my tablet. Lol I would love to re wire or change settings so I can control both areas differently thanks be back soon.

        Sorry it took so long to get back, been very busy learning this rig. Problem figured out, best excuse my blond was taking hold, I had no idea and was not show in the pantry / can closet there was this black plastic panel gets what there are circuit breakers behind it lol. And the bedroom ac, was tripped, was amazing how much air stared blowing flipping it back on, how ever it has tripped 3 times now this last month. 2 things hit me either this older park 50 amp services has a low amp leg, or the bedroom fan/pump motor is burning out drawing too many amps. That’s going to gave to take some investigation

        Another option is that the breaker needs replaced. They wear out sometimes. I had issues with my bedroom ac breaker tripping several times a day. I swapped it for another breaker that was in the box and never had another problem. Yes, they are the same size.
