2000 roof-top Brisk-Air

Have not probley run this unit more than 200 hours since trailer was purchased in 2000.

This year, I turned it on for the first time this season. Trys to run cold but
cuts out and then blows warm. Its been parked in the sun in 90 plus degree weather for the last 4-5 days. Do you think it needs to be recharged? Thanks for your help.

I think you have a high pressure cutoff cycling the compressor on and off. Clean the filter inside the unit. Then with a hose clean out the foil condenser filter on top of the camper. Also you may need to buy a coil comb and comb out bent or damaged areas of the condenser coil on the unit that is above the roof of the camper.

1988 mallard sprinter travel trailer electric heat, how do I use it

To use the electric heat on your 1988 Mallard Sprinter travel trailer, you will need to follow the instructions for your specific Duo Therm Brisk Air unit. Here are the general steps you can follow to use the electric heat:
  1. Set the thermostat: Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The thermostat controls the electric heat and determines when it will turn on and off.
  2. Turn on the electric heat: The electric heat on your travel trailer is usually controlled by a switch or a button on the thermostat or on the unit itself. Turn on the electric heat by flipping the switch or pressing the button.
  3. Adjust the temperature: Use the thermostat to adjust the temperature as needed. The electric heat will turn on and off as needed to maintain the desired temperature.
  4. Turn off the electric heat: When you are finished using the electric heat, turn it off by flipping the switch or pressing the button.
If you are having difficulty using the electric heat or are unsure about how to operate your specific Duo Therm Brisk Air unit, you may want to refer to the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance. They will be able to provide you with specific instructions for your unit and help you troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing.

I have recently replaced the fan motor on my Briskair roof top A/C unit, should the squirrel cage draw air from inside the trailer and blow out rear of the unit, or have I installed this fan incorrectly?

Yes the air should be drawn from the trailer, over the cold coils and then
back into the trailer, whether rear or front.
The condenser coils should be self contained on top and blow
warm air outside the trailer

If this was helpful please rate me.

Dou Therm Brisk Air not running

Turn the ac off go up top the coach and remove the cover. Look for fan blockage, Wasp, mud dauber etc. Caution if it is wasps they will chase you off the end of your coach. Take some spray with you. If there is no blockage the fan motor is toast.
Thanks for using Fixya

Duo-Therm Brisk Air Model 59516.601 Ducted Roof Air w/wall thermostat

First of all, I think you mean 110 volts on your meter, not amps, just so we're on the same page. It sounds to me like you may have a capacitor problem on your compressor. I'll try to see if I can find you a part # if you have someone very experienced with electrical that can change it for you. they can be a little dangerous, so only someone familar with them should work with it. What the capacitor basically does is store voltage and uses it to help the big draw on start-up of the compressor, kind of like giving it a boost to get it started, and after it's up and running, all should be well if everything else is up to snuff. How old is the AC unit? Did it run well for you in the past? I'm asking this just in case it was a recent installation, with perhaps wrong size wire used. Should be minimum 12/2 , with 20amp breaker,if that means anything to you, or your mechanic.

Either your 14"x14" a/c gasket is lose on the roof allowing the condensation to flow into your RV or you have a cracked condensation tray under the evaporator. I'm guessing the later
