My popup camper a/c will cool for like 10 mins max, then the compressor cuts off for 6 mins or more. And never gets cool inside. My filters was real dirty. But when i take the filters off and the inside shroud cover. It will then cool the camper until it froze up. So do you think it's possible the coils need cleaned inside and on the top? We just bought the camper.

Nice Informative video. Nice Job! We have the same A/C. We just did a minor overhaul of ours (9 years old). You can use a can of air you use on computers and electronics to blow out all of the dust. Also a paint brush with soft bristles helps. While you are up there, wiggle your fan shaft forwards and backwards and spin it. It may need to be soon replaced if it is noisy or too much play in it (There are videos on this). Take a pic of the tag on the fan housing for future reference. Unscrew the two bolts holding the metal box you see. Remove the box and check the wiring. Also take a pic of the start capacitor for future reference. If you fan or compressor stops you might need a new one. And, take your inside cover housing completely off and retighten the bolts holding your whole unit down on your rv. Just some additional tips while you are at it. The above fan motor, start capacitor and the cover shroud can be found on Amazon and Ebay.

Future video suggestion. We have service line shut off valves throughout our homes. Why RVs have none remains a key head scratcher for me. I installed a simple in-line shut off valve when I replaced the broken (from freezing most likely - oops) flush valve on one of my RVs toilets. This was an easy DIY mod that not only made replacing the valve less messy, but also allows me to isolate/ stop water flow to this toilet when (unfortunately not if...) future repairs are needed. Over time, I intend to install in-line shut off valves on all of my water lines (other toilet, kitchen & bathroom sinks). I’d make this video myself, but time & good video equipment are limiting factors. Thanks for your straightforward, easy to follow presentation style. Much appreciated.

Any dirt that does get pulled in the area of the ac unit won’t be visible until you pull the shroud off. Everything outside of the shroud is washed away in the rain so that may still look clean when the coils are dirty.

@Handled104
@Handled104 2 года назад
Ross - this gets me thinking. I have a white powdery dust material coming out of my AC ceiling vents. Our unit is a 2021 Jayco Greyhawk 30z with dual Coleman-Mach AC units. Have you ever seen this? It is not construction debris or dust left over from the assembly process. I pulled the interior covers off and vacuumed them out, as well as sealed all the open areas into the ceiling with silver metal duct tape where needed (and it was needed). I also pulled off all 12 of the round ceiling vents and looked into them. There was some construction dust/material in them. I used a shop-vac to suck from the ceiling vents while running a leaf blower into the supply ducts to evacuate all of said debris. I then reassembled the entire system. The white powder dust snow came again after several days of using the AC units. Pulling down the interior covers again yielded a non-significant amount of this white powdery substance on these covers that were just cleaned days before - all while parked, i.e. no driving in between. I believe that this is aluminum oxide coming off of the evaporator coils after being used ( i.e. getting wet and then drying). Once dry, when the AC fans kick in, the snow comes out of the AC vents again. Thi si a significant amount and covers everything in the RV - including getting into food, drinks, etc. Not fun. Very annoying. I am wondering if you, or anyone seeing/reading this, or anyone you have talked to has seen this occur in their RVs. If so, did cleaning the coils fix the problem? Or are the coils defective from the factory and need to be replaced. This is such an annoying problem. Any insight?
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS 2 года назад
Cleaning the coils may fix the issue, but doubtful. You make have a slice or hole somewhere in the ducting that is pulling the insulation into the ducting.

@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS 2 года назад
Great question Matthew, I hate those things. They don’t completely disconnect 12 V power, and it depends on the camper manufacture to what power is actually disconnected. I know people who actually remove those battery cut offs because they don’t truly cut power off to everything. I don’t like them, and I would recommend just pulling terminals off your battery just to be safe.

Hear a lot of people on FB talking about not trusting the factory water lines and/or the factory water line connections. They say that all RV'ers should replace their entire water system with PEX and with either PEX fittings or barbed connections. Thats above my pay grade and seems like a huge job to fix a problem that doesn't *yet* exist. Would you consider doing a video on this topic, or about what should be done to improve the strength of water line connections (eg radiator hose clamps), if anything should be done? Thnx
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS

Let me do some research on this.
@Tempsho
@Tempsho Год назад
The problem is that so many of the water lines and wires are inaccessible once the RV is assembled, there's no easy way to gain access to them. I wouldn't worry about replacing/upgrading the water lines until you have an issue. One thing that's super important that most RV'ers don't think about, is installing a pressure regulator to the fresh water input so you lessen the chances of blowing apart pipping connections due to high water pressure or aging pipes in your RV.
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS Год назад
I agree, from researching and speaking with others, the failure is usually at the fittings. Pex is pretty strong, enough to handle a measly 50 psi, but the fittings are usually plastic which crack or lose the seal at the shark bite fitting.

My question is that my power in the park went off today for about 3 minutes and my air conditioning did not come back on it turned off completely. I was able to turn it back on at the thermostat. No breaker was tripped and I have a surge protector on my plug. I have 2 dogs traveling with me so when I got home an hour later it was 91 degrees. Do you have any Idea why it wouldn't come back on?

My popup camper a/c will cool for like 10 mins max, then the compressor cuts off for 6 mins or more. And never gets cool inside. My filters was real dirty. But when i take the filters off and the inside shroud cover. It will then cool the camper until it froze up. So do you think it's possible the coils need cleaned inside and on the top? We just bought the camper.

Hi Ross, I just finished cleaning my AC evaporator coil per your video. I have a GE AC and the Thermistor is attached to the end of a coil outside of the fins. I have had some freeze ups and wondered if this could be why. My AC doesn’t shut off when it freezes and rains inside. Any thoughts?

that is the purpose of the thermistor so that might be your problem... i would google search and see if you can find pics of people exposing your exact coil online and where its positioned. try placing the sensor where mine was, you might find this fixes the issue. did you buy this rv new?

I just cleaned mine. The direction of air flow into the condenser coil is from the inside out. Mine was almost completely plugged up between the fan and the coil. You have to remove the fan to get the Styrofoam cover off for cleaning. I almost didn't see all the debris stuck to the coil. I always believed they pulled air in through the coil. I see just the opposite is true. This unit exhausts air outward.

Hi Ross, I have another issue with my Coleman Mach 10 Heat Pumps that might be related to condensate drain holes allowing the blower to suck unfiltered outside air including dust/dirt from under the AC unit that gets deposited onto the evaporator coil. Do you know if there is a way to access and place some open cell foam between the roof and the base of the AC unit so that dirt can no longer contaminate the evaporator coil but so than condensate can still exit the AC unit?

It's too windy to clean the coils today... I have an exploded parts diagram of the Coleman Mach AC. it shows item 30 which is the evaporator coil condensate drain pan that has two holes that allign with corresponding holes in the metal base plate. Condensate drains through these holes BUT since the air pressure under the evaporator shroud is lower than the outside air, dirt can be sucked into the evaporator shroud. A Duck Bill check valve or even a piece OPEN cell foam would prevent this. I have e-mailed Airxcel (owns Coleman) however they have not replied as of yet. I have a JPG file of the Mach exploded parts diagram but have no idea how to upload it to this chat... Marc

Ed, if you run compressed air on these coils your going to have about 4 hours of work to straighten the fins. Soft water pressure or brushes, never compressed air. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k7PSzi7NSyc.html

@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS Yes, if you blow a 140psi of air, at close range, on the fins, you definitely can bend them, but you can bend them cleaning them manually too, if you’re not careful. It’s all about taking care. I’ve done this many times on cooling fins, and tons of dirt/debris comes out. Again, must use caution ⛔️ when doing this. I’m getting ready to do it right now. I have one unit rattling, I will guess there is something causing an imbalance issue, like something in the squirrel cage fan, and/or some bad insulator bushings. Whatever it is, I’ll fix it. Other unit doesn’t cool well, so compressor is failing or it’s low on Freon, which means it may have a leak. That unit may get replaced with a new 15k unit. I do have a question for you, though.
