    Also your unit will go into low idle to maintain temperature whwn it reaches thw set point in start and stop, and will go to low idle when it gets within a degree or two when in continuous.

    Run it +5 -10 continuous, probably what the cold place has theirs set at any way, see if it holds that on low idle. Then bump it to 0

    what year is the trailer? 6+ years old with hot product on 90* days will be sure to keep it screaming

    In the meantime, I would get a piece of wire and try sticking it in the drain hoses and see if you can get some water to drain out.

    There’s a check valve in there not holding the Freon back when the 3 way valve shifts to defrost, just had to replace that on my spread axle

    run 0 continuous and so when it shifts to heat it will defrost the system, depending on where you are delivering to crank her to -10 an hour or so before you hit the gate if they check, otherwise I wouldn’t worry about it
