Nomadic Cooling Top FAQs

X Series Error Codes - Why is my control panel showing an E or O error code?

These codes are designed to help point the user or technical support to a specific anomaly setting off the balance within the AC system. These codes range E0 to E4 and F0 to F7 for the X-Series models. A reference chart can be VIEWED HERE.

Why is my X series leaking condensation through the faceplate?

Condensation coming from the outgoing air stream of an AC unit is more than likely a scenario of a frozen evaporator resulting from over running the AC in a high humidity atmosphere, causing an excess of water buildup. Here are some options to help mitigate that unwanted intruder!

  • Run time operation. Start by bringing your ambient room temperature down over a longer period of time by running the AC in a lower fan power mode with the set temperature on your control panel to something more relative to the temperature you desire to end up at. For best results, avoid running the unit in powerful mode for more than 30 minutes at a time.
  • Better insulation. Work to insulate your interior better and mitigate any outside airflow contaminating your cabin space. The better you handle maintaining the difference between the outside air and your interior space, the better the AC will operate. Keep doors and windows closed as often as possible when the weather is hot and minimize the amount you go in and out of the vehicle. Much like you would your house!
  • Dry your air. A dehumidifier in the cabin of your vehicle could be a great help to mitigate moisture in the air, which motivates the condensation created on the exterior of your evaporator fins.
Why does my compressor cycle up and down?

If your compressor is turning on and off in short bursts (cycling) it is getting a signal to perform that leaves only a short range of operation needed before the AC unit hits its desired target temperature. This could potentially be a few scenarios:

  • It’s all about the signal! Our AC units utilize two (2) thermistor sensors to detect temperature both outgoing and incoming from the AC unit. These signals are critical for the operation of our AC unit’s and their internal programming. When the incoming air (your vehicle’s internal air) becomes equal to the outgoing air, when in auto mode, the AC unit receives a signal to turn the compressor off. For this function of the programming to be implemented correctly, your thermistor sensors must be in the appropriate locations per your AC unit’s install manual. Their separation in distant and location are critical to the nature of that programming.
  • Keep em’ separated! While the location of those sensors is important, so is the separation of the air within the AC unit! If you haven’t installed the supplied air separate correctly or done the best you can to insulate the cracks and crevices separating the incoming and outgoing air chambers, it can really confuse the AC unit’s programming and cause the compressor to operate without reason.
  • Be wise! A solid head on your shoulders is important in daily life; your AC unit’s control panel is the brain of our systems! All of your AC unit’s logic is stored in the control panel, as such that makes it very important to the system. Take care to make sure nothing is rubbing, dripping, or rattling against it as your vehicle functions or you finish your install. If you believe you've done so but the compressor is still not operating as expected, it may be worth trying to reprogram your controller to its default settings. That procedure can be found in the installation manual for your specific AC unit.

Nomadic Awnings Top FAQs

Can the A1 & A2 be used in windy conditions?

Yes! The A1 & A2 is built for durability and stability, featuring spring-loaded stainless steel tension arms that help absorb movement and prevent excess swaying. The adjustable pitch (5°-15°)allows you to tilt the awning to reduce wind resistance and improve rain runoff. However, like all awnings, it’s important to monitor wind speeds and retract the awning in extreme conditions to prevent damage. For extra security,tie-downs and support poles can be added to further reinforce it in breezy environments​.

Can I install the A2 myself, or do I need professional help?

TheA2 is designed for a straightforward installation, making it manageable for DIYers with the right tools, but professional installation is recommended for the most secure fit. It mounts easily to flat surfaces or roof racks using heavy-duty brackets, and the12V DC wiring connects to a simple wall switch for push-button operation. Because of its adjustable pitch and tension arm system, precise placement is key to maximizing stability and weather protection. If you’re comfortable with power tools and vehicle modifications, installation is doable on your own, but for those who want aquick, worry-free setup, a professional can ensure it’s doneperfectly the first time.

What should I do if I encounter problems during the awning installation?

If you encounter any problems during your awning installation, we recommend first consulting your owner's manual for detailed troubleshooting steps. You can also refer to our operations manual for additional guidance, or watch our installation videos for visual assistance. If you've tried these resources and are still experiencing issues, please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with our expert tech support team.
