    Help with bentz sleeper

    I had an a/c issue in our recently purchased Bolt sleeper (switch controlling heat-a/c not working). Sent Don an email one night- he called the very next morning and walked me through a by-pass of the switch. Will stop in at his shop, 1st chance we get, for the repair.
