Join me in the video below as I explain more about RV air conditioners and the maintenance they require and why it is very important.
Inspecting RV air conditioners
There are several steps for inspecting RV air conditioners, some of which are best undertaken by a technician. You (or that technician) always want to make sure to inspect the RV roof air conditioner unit for debris and damage, wash inner coils (including the condenser and evaporator), clean drain tubes, replace gaskets and filters, perform amp-draw tests and so much more!
Watch the video and I’ll walk you through it all.
More about our Facebook groups
These Facebook groups were created to help educate owners about parts, problems, repairs, fixes, and upgrades on RV units. We will be sharing videos that include WHAT’S IN THE SHOP? and SHOP TALK episodes with information on accessories and products that we use and install on the units from the shop.
We try and help as time allows to answer questions and problems. We encourage others to share their experience so we can build a resource page to help everyone.
Please follow us on YouTube, see our published articles on RVtravel.com and other social media pages.
Please feel free to share your stories, problems, and upgrades with us so we can build a resource page to help others.
Thank you,
Dustin

Thanks Dustin great information, thats a lot of debris on the coils must have been a loooong time since it was looked at!

More of an ad for service than a “how to” video.
Hello, this video was very helpful. I think I have a 2007 vintage Coleman Mach 8, the docs I received with the Jamboree were for a RVP Series 8331. I can’t seem to find the little foam baffles that are mounted on either side of the compressor coils, that block the air from sucking around the coils inside the back end of the shroud. Is there a part supply for these or do I have to make them? They are crumbling and should not be re-used.
Thank you for the reminder to periodically examine the rooftop air conditioner units, Dustin! Thank you, too, for a general list of aspects to check. Have a great day and safe travels
