2014 winni vista 35f / coleman mach ac issue

hello all
we have a 2014 winni vista 35f . it has the coleman mach ac system, roof top , it has the digital thermostat as well,
when putting the ac on, the blower motor starts off slow , then it speeds up to normal speed , then at times it shuts off , even if the temp is calling for the ac to operate , a few times the fuse within the thermostat blew , of which i replaced , and did a complete reset , the rear ac works awesome
the thermostat in the front is new , and so is the ac unit
its a mach 3 unit , the original model number was 48058=879 but the model was superceded to a new model of which i dont know
does anybody else have this issue is it im just lucky to have it by my lonesome
any help would greatly be appreciated , and btw the ac is always put on with 50 amp, never 30

RE: atwood GHC6A-10E water heater

to those who have read my post, let me ad that the engine coolant never comes in contact with the rv water system , all the heat exchanger is a short angled tube which the to and from coolant lines connect to , thats it, the tube is externally mounted outside the tank , , no in order to replace the tank , the heater must be removed from the vehicle, disassembled , repaired or replaced the leaking tank , and put back together , and hopefully ALL GOES WELL,
after much research i had found that dometic makes a replacement for the atwood unit , part number 96163, same specs as the atwood , i really dont care that there are numerous trailers and 5th wheels out in the field, but there are numerous motorhomes using the atwood system , and it was a good one, i simply dont care for what dometic did , they bought atwood and discontinued most of their product and water heater line, and many were models with motor aide, its not the point, its what they did , very simply they could have made a slight modification , and have as a kit a motor aide ad on, attached with stainless steel clamps to support the motor aide fitting to the tank , and styrofoam sections, , and two hose clamps , done deal , so now YOUR stuck with a choice they made , and you have a expensive piece of equipment , not doing as designed to do

RE: atwood GHC6A-10E water heater

this is more common than people know, imagine if you are a full time rver and you decide to stop , for lunch or what ever , you have hot water from the system, it just makes things more convienent and easy , and why it was installed in the first place , personally , i like it as well as many other people
dometic should have given it better thought then simply trashing all of atwoods product line

good morning and hello to all ,
im new here , and glad to be here , i retired form bmw and purchased a rv for my fiancée and myself, we totally enjoy rving and the people , but as stated, im new ,doing my best to learn
on our rv, a winnebago vista 35f , we have the atwood water heater, it has power from 110 volts/LP / and has motor aide where it uses engine coolant to heat the water in the tank , the dometic company has purchased atwood , and the line of water heaters has been slashed to a few, out water heater is 6 gallons, has anybody had this water heater replaced , it is very common , and if so with what model
any help would greatly be appreciated , the dometic line has no water heaters with motor aide
thank you so much in advance
safe travels to all
