First I TURNED OFF ALL POWER to the Air Conditioner by unhooking the AC power cable and disconnecting the 12-volt batteries.
I show how I clean both the evaporator and condenser coils and straighten bent fins on both. I then reseal the inside chamber with new aluminum ducting tape and clean the sponge input filter.
I also add some lubricant on the shaft of the fan motor and inspect the unit. I check for debris and clean the chassis. Finally, I test the system for optimal cooling temperature differential using an IR gun.

You are my RV maintenance spirit animal. I just spent the day on the roof logging some quality time with my boyfriend, Mr. Dicor, and was looking at my A/C unit wondering what the heck I need to do to it. Certainly something, but what? My dad was an auto and aircraft mechanic and could build or fix anything. In fact, we grew up camping in a trailer he built from scratch. He has been gone 20 years, but I am convinced he works thru other mechanics to get messages to me on occasion!

Very thorough explanation of rv ac maintenance, most RVers do not maintain their ac system, they just wait for it to break down, or become less effective before it gets any attention. Ray had the right idea, being proactive and getting on the roof and doing a little ac maintenance once or twice a year.

I live in and camp in the Mohave Desert which can be dusty! My coach has two Coleman Mach 10 Heat Pumps. While in COOL mode, I get an abnormally large amount of dust and dirt building up on the Evaporator coil necessitating cleaning the evaporator 3 or more times each year. I clean the units interior air filter every two weeks. I don’t have any water leaks into the coach from the AC so I know the main 14” square gasket is good. I believe the problem is that there isn’t a filter of other means to keep dirt from entering between the roof and the AC’s metal base plate at the two condensate drain holes. A piece of open cell foam inserted under the metal base plate and on top of the roof under the drain holes would prevent dirt from being sucked into the area under the evaporator shroud. This foam would allow condensate to drain through it to the roof but would stop dust from getting into the evaporator coil fins. Alternatively a small Duck Bill check valve inserted through the base plate evaporator drain holes would likely also work. I plan to clean teh evaporator coil tomorrow and will try a small piece of the open cell foam inserted under each of the drain holes. Time will tell if this makes a significant difference.

One way to tell if your AC is healthy is to measure the amps it draws. I installed a permanent volt/amp meter in my 5th wheel because I am on a 20 amp circuit currently and do not want to overload the breaker. The AC normally draws a maximum of 15 amps on a hot day. Last summer it began pulling 17 amps. I found the coils clogged by dirt and leaves. Cleaned them and straightened the fins as you did and the AC went back to pulling 15 or less amps. Overheating the compressor will greatly shorten its life or even kill it. Good idea to check and clean the AC every spring before running it.

I had a thought, watching your video I was thinking maybe using a Shop-Vac to suck the foam out of the evaporator coil after it's absorbed into the dirt and released the the mud on the coil fins use the vacuum cleaner to suck the moisture out of the fins and not have the muddy mess inside the rig. NOTE, the chemical sprayed on the coils needs to be pretty harsh in order to break the oily film on the fins to be able to dissipate the heat from inside the rig. Makes it work more efficient.

Don't underestimate the importance of checking to see how well your AC duct system is sealed. We found ours to be extremely leaky as a result of shoddy factory installation workmanship with gaps in duct insulation and the foil tape seals everywhere. Check not only your blower/return unit but also all of your duct taps and vent covers. A couple of hours of redoing joints with HVAC tape doubled the air flow from our vents. It turns out we were blowing a lot of air conditioned air into the void between our ceiling and roof! Ours is a Coleman TT which is one of the many brands owned by Thor. I would expect to find some shoddy workmanship somewhere in your RV regardless of your brand.

I have to regularly use toothbrush bristles to force grease into the shaft bearing of the motor you refer to. The right thing to do is replace the motor. However I have just got into the routine of doing this about every two months. The motor lets me know if it needs it sooner by a certain noise from the slop of the worn bearing. I have been doing this for two years so I will continue to do so until it no longer works. Standard "high temp" grease will only last about a month but true high temp grease gives me a full 2 months. Used to be STP but I don't believe it is sold anymore under that brand. Coastal I believe now. Anyhow it had a temp rating of 550 instead of 400.

The fiberglass insulation on the sheet metal part that is removed, where the edges met the main unit, must have stuck and is all tattered. Do I have to put a new strip of insulation all along the edges between the two? Or would sealing the edges with aluminum tape do?

I assume that the insulation is there because this is where the interior air flows, so the area is insulated from the outside hot air for better cooling. How much of a difference it would make using just metal tape I'm not sure.
