How to Replace an RV Air Conditioner - Why Not RV: Ep 69 

No mention of a gasket or seal, that’s my main concern as I’m preparing to swap out my Coleman Mach that died in year 2. Thanks for the video.

I’m not the fashion police, but climbing a ladder with flip flops is very risky! Thanks for the educational video.

Looks nice

I just bought the same one. Hoepfully it goes well putting it in. It’s gonna be a second one

I’m about ready to replace ours out, thank you for this video! How does it weather seal?

Hey. Thanks for sharing this from fb. We subscribed! Did I miss it or no butyl tape or sealer?

nice video: I have a class B when it rains I have water intrusion though AC. I'd like to remove the roof AC patch the hole. concerned about the wiring effecting the furnace operating bc the thermostats wiring goe's though both AC & thermostat. thanks

When I watch other videos showing RV dealers installing similar AC units, they are using a ton of caulking, sealers, etc. What keeps water out of your installation? Also, how much quieter is the HOUGHTON compared to your old DOMETIC?? Half as noisy?

I got that same black n white nose in my RV! Hahahaa

Thanks for the video. Install looks pretty straight forward--what did you do with the 12v wires? did you cap and tuck them away?

I notice you have vents in your roof as do i! I want to do the same as you, and not use the venting. Do I need the “thick roof kit” ?

not finding the follow up on this unit - looking to replace a unit on my parents full time RV (ductless) that doesn't move - permanently locate son thier property...and longevity is my biggest concern...thank you

Did it come with a rubber base? Keeping water out from underneath??

Trying to figure out if this is a good replacement for my Coleman Mach. I noticed you have AC ducting. Does the unit work with your AC ductwork? If it does, are you also able to open vents to cool just the bedroom?

I just installed a RecPro 2801 ( 9500BTU, $1100 ) on a 2012 Keystone Springdale 179. My roof is 5" thick, so I needed the thick roof kit, which worked fine. It's little tricky to change the duct to the longer one, make sure you screw it out in the correct direction, which was clockwise for me. Otherwise, you end up tightening it and it's very difficult to remove. Putting the new one on is a little tricky, but after a few tries I got it. My old AC was a Dometic Brisk II. This new one is dramatically quieter. However, I hoped to run it off a single Yamaha EF2000is ( 1st generation), and it did not work. Later I took the cover off and found out the "locked rotor amps" is 52A! So, there is no soft starting in this thing. At least it’s less than the 62A of the Brisk Air. Looks like mounting a SoftStartRV will be tricky, I might do it. Have to mount it under the outside air fan. I suspect they say "does not need a soft start" because it does not have a loud "thump" when the compressor starts. A soft start can fix that with any AC. The reason this one does not thump is the excellent mounting of the compressor on springs that isolates it from transmitting compressor sound to the RV. When I saw that SoftStartRV has a wiring diagram for this unit, I knew it must need a soft start. I was able to measure the inrush current with a special meter, and it showed 48A, close to the 52A on the label. So far, the highest running current I have measured is 6A, but others have reported 9A. Unfortunately we have had a very cool summer so far, so I have not had a chance to see how well it cools our small 18' trailer. But, the prior 13500BTU unit was clearly far larger than needed, so I am confident this will work fine.

What do I do I have a 91 nomad travel trailer ac there but nothing on inside no panel just a square hole with cut thick wire

Our camper shorted out yesterday and I smelt a burnt electrical smell and saw smoke. It was the air conditioner. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but will the wiring need to be replaced as well as the air conditioner? :^) if the wiring does need replacing, how do I go about that? Haha, thanks. Love your channel! Happy camping

What brand ac is that? Thanks

Did you reinforce the AC inside the rv?

Electricity at rv parks is usually to be free who cares about the solar when in an rv park?

2 years, it should have been under warranty still if it was bought from a reputable company.

Thinks showing his face is more important than the actual install - why are people like this ??
