Poor Furrion Ac remote range.

Anyone else have to hold the remote very close to the AC unit? I have to stand right under it and hold it 1-2 feet away. I tried new batteries but did not help. It is a brand new 29RL. Is this normal or is there something to improve the range?

Yes, I have experienced the same issue. It appears to be a design flaw with the location of the sensor, as it has very limited visibility to the remote control. I also found a YouTube video that demonstrates a few ways to improve its performance.

The solution that has worked best for me is to pull the sensor through the filter opening so it hangs slightly into the conditioned space. Once I did that, the remote worked much more reliably.

I believe Furrion should address this in a future design revision, as the current sensor placement is frustrating for end users and negatively impacts the overall user experience.

Hello, new owner here. Just brought home a 25RL. Side question about remote - the remote back for the AC doesn't stay on good. It sometimes come off when pulling it out of the holster, and the batteries don't make good contact and the remote powers off randomly. Is this common, or did I just get a bad remote?

Yep, to the remote back coming off when removing the remote from the wall mount...every...time. I ended up shaving off the bottom nubs on the battery cover. Now it stays on and doesn't snag on the wall mount. My batteries make good contact and it doesn't power off randomly.
