Maintaining Your RV Air Conditioners
Getting your RV air conditioner ready for the summer should be a top priority. Regular maintenance is crucial since RV air conditioners have many components, such as motors and compressors. Neglecting this can result in costly repairs, ruining your summer vacation plans.
Similarities to Split Systems
RV air conditioners are akin to split systems, with condenser and compressor units mounted on the roof, and the air-cooling unit inside on the ceiling. Typically, one cooling unit suffices, but larger spaces over 35 feet may require two. With summer approaching, here are some tips to ensure your RV's optimal performance.
Filter Maintenance
Change or wash the filter at least monthly. Replace disposable filters every month during use, and clean reusable ones with water, letting them dry completely before reinstalling. Clogged filters reduce efficiency, increase costs, and can damage components like the evaporator coil. Clean the unit with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dust and dirt.
Coil and Gasket Care
The evaporator coil, located at the back of the rooftop, is prone to environmental damage from trees and debris. Clean it gently with a soft brush. Consider adding shields for extra protection.
Check the gasket seal between the ceiling and the unit frequently, as external condensation can occur. Ensure the drainage holes in the condensate pan are clear of debris to prevent leaks.
Pre-Trip Checks
Before your summer trip, test the RV air conditioner to ensure all systems, such as fan and temperature controls, work efficiently. Verify the power source is adequate. A 15-amp extension may not suffice, so check the power requirements and install appropriate switches and circuit breakers. Insufficient power can severely damage components.
Conclusion
To enjoy a summer with your RV air conditioner, commit to regular and proper maintenance. This attention ensures a comfortable and hassle-free vacation.
