Health Checkup For Coleman RV Air Conditioners
Jerry Grossman
I realize that most owners of RV's have paid a lot of money for their Coleman RV air conditioner. It is a sizeable investment. So you undoubtedly want to keep your unit operational for as long as possible -- and to make sure that it operates most efficiently as possible. You can consult your owner's guide for tips, but the trouble with these manuals is that sometimes they are very technical and hard to read. So I thought I would just share with you some of my personal thoughts on general maintenance of your unit.

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 also have to clean the inside - like the air filter. Now, your Coleman RV air conditioner may use disposable air filers. If it does, don't try to clean them -- they are not made to be cleaned and reused. They won't work properly a second time - just trash them and buy a fresh one.

If your Coleman RV air conditioner uses the washable kind of air filters, then of course you can rinse it out. How often should you do this? Well, depending on how much you are using your AC, you may have to wash it out several times a month. If you are running it in dusty and dirty locations, you may have to clean it even more often than that.

The top of your Coleman RV air conditioner should also be inspected. I am talking about the part that sticks up out of your roof. You see, sometimes small stones, leaves and sticks can get caught in there, and you will need to get that stuff out of there - you can use an old-fashioned broom and just sweep out all the nooks and crannies.

While you are inspecting the top of your Coleman RV air conditioner, take time to check the gasket, or seal, that the unit sits on. If this seal gets dirty, or is worn, it could let moisture in -- and you'll end up with a leaky RV!

A final area to check: The drainage holes. All AC units have them (and your Coleman RV air conditioner is no different) - the water that is condensed from the air flows out from your unit through these holes.

If you find, upon inspection, that the water drainage holes have become blocked, then make sure to clean them out completely. If you don't the moisture will eventually backup into the unit, and drip down into your RV.
