Hi, I have a 2025 R27 with the Velair AC. It is not cooling like it did last year. It is blowing somewhat coolish air but not like it should. I have it set on 64 but the panel has been reading consistently in the low 90,s. The control panel is located beside the battery switches. It is pumping water and runs continuously. I do live in south Georgia and it has been really hot hear the last month but no hotter than last summer and the ac did fine. In fact, I was really surprised how cool it kept the cabin last summer. Any thoughts as to why it's not keeping up this year?
 
Check the return-air filter and evaporator coil on the unit. You will need to remove the helm seat to access the air conditioner. Make sure the filter is clean and that nothing is blocking the return-air opening. While the A/C is running, check the evaporator coil. It should be cold, but it should not be freezing or turning into a block of ice. Poor airflow can cause the coil to ice up and significantly reduce the unit’s cooling performance.
