We have a 2000 Coleman Cheyenne pop up with a Coleman mach roof unit. We turned it on today at home and the fan blows but the heater doesn't heat up and the air conditioner doesn't cool. Someone said if it's getting even slightly less than 110 v it might do that. We have the camper plugged into a 50 ft 3 grounded extension cord.

    What gauge wire is the extension cord wiring? At that distance, it should be #12 awg, and the circuit should be rated for the use.

The distance of the cord is a big deal, 10AWG Cord would be best for this situation. If you have a 50ft cord, make sure that the cord is not wound up on top itself as this can cause a drop in voltage and a spike in amperage. Is the compressor trying to come on at all? If not, then you may have a problem with the selector switch or the thermostat. If the compressor is humming for a few seconds and then stopping and then trying to come on again, it could be a problem with voltage loss. Anything below 98.5 plus or minus 10% is too low the for the compressor to kick on.

I have a Coleman mach RV roof Ac with a fan and separate Furnace unit. None of the units will turn on.The AC did work along with the fan. Now nothing works. All of the fuses are good

Check the plug end of the Power cord for a broken wire. If you can test the cord for continuity with an ohm meter do that first. Most likely you can get a replacement plug. You'll need to cut the old one off and strip the wires back to connect the new plug.

My coleman mah 3 roof top will not blowon fan side

Sounds like you have either a bad fan motor or a bad fan motor capacitor. When you turn the unit on with the fan not working, the compressor (the humming noise) runs and gets real hot real quick resulting in the compressor cutting off ( the nothing after) on it's inside high temp switch. This is what the compressor is designed to do so that when this happens, it does not burn the compressor out. Replace you fan capacitor, give the compressor an hour to cool, then try it. In most cases and if I'm correct, the unit will run just like you want it to. Good luck.
