Home | Travel & Leisure | Outdoors First things first: For your Coleman RV air conditioner to operate properly, it MUST be kept clean. You must clean it regularly - you really don't have any other option. And cleaning, by the way, means more than simply hosing off the outside! In addition to cleaning the outside, you will need to get inside of your unit - just a little bit. A good example is your air filter. Some models of air conditioners use disposable air filters. When they become dirty, just throw them out and replace with a new one. Don't try to cheat and clean it off -- it will not work properly if you try to recycle it. If your air conditioner uses the washable kind of air filters, then of course you can rinse it out and reuse it. How often should you clean it? That depends on how much you have been running your AC - and also the general environment (whether it has been a dusty or dirty area). If you use it a lot, or where the air quality is poor, you will have to clean your air filter more often. Don't forget to inspect the top of your Coleman RV air conditioner. That's the part that sits on the roof. Why do this? Because in the course of traveling, small things like sticks, leaves, and stones can get up in there and block the vents and coils. If you do notice that anything up there has become blocked, then clean those vents out right away. And while you are inspecting the top, make sure to check the gasket. That's the seal-like thingy that your Coleman RV air conditioner sits on. If that seal gets dirty or worn out, moisture could leak in and drip down into the inside of your RV. Here's one final area for you to check. Your Coleman RV air conditioner, like all air conditioners, has several drainage holes. These holes allow water that has been condensed from the air to flow out and drain away from the unit. If these water drainage holes have become blocked, the moisture could back up into the AC unit itself -- and it could even leak into your RV. Make sure they are kept open - no leaves or stones or other matter should be allowed to block them. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
