Default Where did the AC go?

Hi all,
Ok does anyone else have this issue.
I have AC and it is working
But it only seems to work the best when I am driving.

So here is my question, does anyone else have this issue and if not why is it doing this....
I will be driving and sometimes if I start to really move fast, the a/c stops blowing cold air. It is not an all the time thing and it doesnt seem to be something that I can do to trigger it.
Just seems when I cruising the interstate and I hammer down and get up to speeds all of a sudden the a/c blows more towards warmer air. Then if I either stop trying to accelerate or I reach speed, I suddenly have a/c again.
Usually happening at ..... ummmm....... higher rates of speed.

Any insight would be cool
thanks

Gotcha, I was like WTH :-)
Given, I guess I am also a little paranoid because I am about to do a new AC setup on my H2 and so that dips into the FUN Funds badly
