How To Fix A Leaking Camper Air Conditioner 

Our family started out in 1972 with a steury pop up camper. No roof air in those days. We didn't need it in northern ontario. One year it was snowing on the fourth of July. Fun fun.

Thank you for the explanation. Worked fantasticly.. 25 year old trailer and first time having the issue.

Thank you for the thorough, detailed videos!! They are very well explained! I'd like to add, In a pinch (like someone camping right now, getting tired of changing towels or tripping over a bucket), you can take something flexible, yet firm, like a zip tie and bend it up into the mounting plate drain hole (shown @3:55) and into the weep hole to clear an obstruction. Hope this helps!

Tks a lot. I have the same ac and was not sure where to put back the piece at 3:04. Now I know :)

My AC looked just like yours inside. I pulled out the drip tray after your instructions and mine was super nasty and clogged up. I cleaned it and widened the small drain holes a little and I have no more leaking inside now. Thank you so much for this video!

I really love your channel and all this great info! Thank you so much!

Super helpful. Thanks

This is going to be so helpful! My roof lining began to sag something fierce around the AC. Between this video and your gasket replacement video (and the new parts on your website), I'm hoping to cure my woes. Here's to hoping there isn't too much damage in the ceiling from all the nasty brown water that's been trapped in there.

Thank you for the detailed vid, I thought I had a soft spot in my ceiling, with closer inspection, i noticed it was water collecting in my ceiling(on the right side of a.c. unit), I could not figure out how water was getting in there. I was able to squeeze the water out,but Unfortunately now part of my ceiling vinyl is sagging a bit due to the weight of the water, oh well, at least I can keep it from getting worse. I'm definitely going to check the drip tray this weekend, I think you found what my issue is...thank you so much. You are awesome!😎👍

Thanks for sharing.

Great video! My wife and I have had our 2004 Santa Fe since 2005, and this year was the first time I cleaned the AC coils (I know, way overdue), and while I was in there, also cleaned out the drain holes and then removed the wasp nests. Any chance on having a instructional video on renewing the waterproofing on the canvas, especially the tent ends? The cost of recanvasing is rather high, and with extraordinarily long wait times, it makes sense to extend the life as much as possible.

We have a 2009 Coleman E3. Recently the AC unit has started tripping out the 15 amp breaker on both Low AC and High AC. If I turn back the temperature a bit it will run longer but eventually will trip out again. If you leave it off for a few minutes and reset the breaker it will start up and run but after a while will trip again. It get's plenty cold. It's a Coleman Mach AC unit. Ceiling Assembly say model 9330E715. Not sure if that is for the AC unit or the ceiling mounting assembly. Ideas on what might be making the unit trip out?

Hi, great video. Quick question. I will be changing the gasket soon. If I plan on cleaning out the drip pan, will I still need to disassemble the A/C unit? Since I will have it lifted off the roof can I access it from the bottom?

Before heading to Fla in March. I would like to put a soft start on my A/c and service drains. Question I have a Somerset E3 bought used.I What is the weight limit getting on the roof? thanks

Thanks for the great video instructions unfortunately I have a Carrier AC and when I took off my cover to look for the drain it has plastic housing. The plastic is getting brittle from age and I’m hesitant about destroying something while removing the housing and the coils seem to be stuck in the housing as I carefully lifted one side. Checking the manual on line it wasn’t all that helpful. Does my unit even a drain pan like you showed in the Coleman unit.

I have a carrier and plan on cleaning the drip pan and condenser out. The AC unit makes a popping/crackling noise on and off for periods of time. I shined a light inside while it's running and looks like a lot of moisture build up. My question is would a good cleaning of the unit solve or help this problem? (AC unit is on low and blows cold air as it should. Just worried about the noise)

I haven’t check my tray yet, but I am getting water inside while running. My roof has a sag on the bag side of the A/C because when it was installed they only put a brace on the front side of the A/C. When I put my camper down there is always a big puddle on the roof. Do you think it’s possible there is enough sag in my roof that once the sag fills with water it isn’t allowing it to drain? I am gonna check the tray but if the tray wasn’t draining I wouldn’t be getting water on my roof right?

Thanks for the great information as always! I had a quick question, my AC blows cold but the air inside the camper starts strong then quickly slows down after a couple seconds. Do you sell the motor that powers the condenser fan and the squirrel cage in the coleman? I'm trying to find fan motors for it to fix the issue.

I foliwed your instructons and that was the problem . Now I have another issue the air condition will not run now . Any idea why ?

mine is draining like it should on the roof and inside, would that still be a potential clogged drain?

Why not drill out bigger drain holes?

Great video, please stop calling it a core. It is the evaporator coil.
