Re: Tearing out my cargo ac

Hey, sorry guys. I couldn't log in for the longest time....now it seems fine. Update: I added a voltage kick start deal to give it a bump as it initially starts. That definitely made a difference, but it still shuts down eventually in the middle of a cycle.
It's wired on its own breaker with 12/2 romex. Right now I just have a long extension cord off the side of the house with a little conversion plug to attach to my 30amp cord that plugs to the trailer. That's the same setup I had last year when I tested everything, and it tested good. It is, however, a different Outlet this time. When I'm running it this time, the only other things I have on in the trailer are a couple LED lights. Should be able to handle both.
So just to be clear, it starts and works, but then shuts down in the middle of a cycle. It doesnt stop completely. But the compressor kicks off and it fades way down. The led lights in the trailer then start blinking until I shut it off. I put the extension cord on a different outlet with the same results.
Edit: I was vacuuming out there yesterday and noticed the light would do a single blink every time I kicked on the vacuum. So, I would say voltage is definitely an issue. Not sure how to correct that though since I'm just plugged into the house.
