Ice Chunks Flying Out of Cool Cat — PROBLEM SOLVED

UPDATE: QUESTION ANSWERED. Has this happened to anyone else? My Cool Cat in the AC mode seems to ice up inside and it makes a rattling noise and throws out chunks of ice. I live in the humid south, so that might be a factor. The trailer is tilted the correct way so that lots of moisture drains out the back. There is no moisture on the floor inside. In general, this beast of an AC is a joy to have on board. In the past, I've turned it off for a while and I assume the ice melts and then it's OK. But I'm leaving soon for some long travels and as you know it's extremely blazing hot in many parts of the country and turning off the Cool Cat might not be possible. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance.

    If you do a search on FB in the T@B Camping Trailer group, someone had the same problem over the weekend.

    Running the Cool Cat at too low of a temp iced it up. Turn on fan only to let it thaw and the ice also allows the incoming air to be cooled. It seems to be a common known fact with the original owners of the DM T@B's.  Since this forum is mostly nüCamp/Pleasant Valley T@B's, we haven't don't have experience with the icing problems.
