Picked up our Voltage last thursday,did a complete and thourough walk through and only very few minor things needed adjustment and or cleaned. A/C vents had no flow so the fixed the duct work. New 2015 6.6 durmax pulled the trailer like nothing.Got home leveled the trailer and slides worked great.Loaded up and ready to go and 1 of the 3 slides wouldn't move.Called Dutchmen since my dealer is 300 miles away and they authourized a mobile guy to come out and i faxed them the bill.Turns out it was a poor crimp at a connector at the module.Hit the road an hr later and spent 3 days in it and everything worked great except the bedroom A/C which keep tripping the 15amp breaker. Put a amp meter on it and the A/C was pulling 17-18 amps. I will address this issue as i belive the 14 gauge wire going to the 15 Amp breaker should be 12 gauge.I don't want to just swap breakers and have a potential fire hazard so i will put this in Dutchmen warranty hands and they can take responsibility if they deem it just needs a breaker. Other than that there are a few small tweeks and adjustments and we love the trailer.

The ac breaker should be 20 amp. Sounds like somene screwed up at the factory again. But double check before taking my advise.

Just checked my ac breakers... 20 amps. Can't advise on the wire unless I remove cover of load center. My last unit had the wrong breaker in it too. #12 wire for 20 amp and #14 for 15 amp. Typically... lets us know what you find out...

Temps out here at the river were 110 plus during the day and it would not run without popping the breaker so the A/C was working it's ass off.Although at night once temps dropped in the 90's the A/C would continue to run and work good with out blowing the breaker.Until the next morning when temps were going up again. Might be able to just put in a 20 amp breaker and be fine but due to fire hazard i belive i will let Dutchmen make that call.I would think 20 amp would be a standard minimum.

Mine tripped in Vegas on the way out. On our way back we stopped in Vegas again & never tripped. Was 110 there also.
