I have not yet camped with electrical hookup, so had no experience with A/C. Today I plugged into house power to use A/C to dehumidify. Turns on fine, defaulted to 72.5 degrees. I push the left arrow to lower temperature and "set" flashed upper left of screen, but for the life of me I cannot find which button to press to "set" the new temperature, and it goes back to the default after a few seconds. Manual of no help. Stupid question, but help please!

    As I mentioned in the subject line, it is an Air8. I have a 320s....didn't know the control unit differed on the 400.

    I am so sorry—it was smacking me in the face and I didn’t see it. My goof is deleted. 

    I will admit to not have delved into the manual much on my Air8, choosing to just to figure it out as I go.  I pressed the left arrow button to take the temp down, and the right arrow to take it up. 

    I know there is a sensor that may need to be moved and that there is an update to keep the fan on. I admit to not doing either as the first time I used my Air8 was a few weeks ago when it was over 100*F inside my T@B after traveling all day. 

    I will bow to those who have had more experience with the 320’s Air8…..

    I don't believe you can change the temp setting when you are in "Dehumidifier" mode, only when in "AC" mode.

    There are no stupid questions.  I am new to the 320S myself.  The Air8 manual is a little unclear and settings are not intuitive.  Here's a video that will help you with the set up process.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aC0Wu5XqI0

    Here's another link to different thread on controlling the inside temperature that may be helpful.  https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/11435/elwell-sent-me-a-temperature-probe-and-harness-just-installed-it

    I contacted the Elwell corporation.  They are sending me a remote sensor with instructions at no charge.  Enjoy your TAB!
