    RV AC DIY FIX - It's Raining Inside Our RV - AC Leaking Inside The RV - Fixing a Common RV AC Issue. Every time we turned on our RV AC, water would start dripping out. A little at first, but over time, a lot. We kept a bucket under it until we couldn't take it anymore. So I ventured up on the roof and cleaned the RV AC Drain Pan and Drain Holes. Problem solved, no more rain in our RV. The wife is very happy...me, too.

    Being in HVAC for years I would like to offer some advice. Number one never use a brush on the any coils. Number two you are correct to clean the coils but dust is not what hurts the efficiency it is the dirt stuck to the fins. How days they sell spray and go cleaners that work every well. I suggest using those and it will lower the head pressure, increase the efficiency greatly lowering run time. The number one killer of all AC units is capacitors. They start getting weak and run the unit at much higher temperatures until they finally quit. Chane capacitors ever 4 years and the unit will run for much longer. Thank you for your video. Roy

      Tru Dat, Scott. I use a very thin cable-tie to clear the drain holes, but it got so bad with the forward AC that I just needed to give it a good cleaning. Truth be known, I actually used a slightly larger drill bit and opened the drain holes up a bit. Not much, just enough to help the flow. Thanks for watching, brother. BTW, would like to ask you and Allison to join us on a live stream sometime to talk about the Texas RV Maintenance School. I am very interested in attending...need something to do in my retirement.

    If it is raining inside your RV, you have BIG problems. Anyone that owns any kind of RV with an A/C unit should learn how to maintain it, or pay someone to service it every season. Repairs on a flooded RV are WAY more costly than simple maintenance or having a service person doing it. Common sence.

      Ok so my husband unclogged the drain holes. The leakage problem was solved.
      Then it stopped blowing cold.
      So he went back up there, cleaned the coils, checked to be sure the the thermostat wire was correctly placed and it started blowing cool again.
      Now it's leaking again - pouring FAR MORE than it was 2 days ago.
      I mean, it's BAD!
      We started with a small trash can.
      Added a 5 gallon bucket.
      Some puppy pads.
      A towel.
      A fan to dry the flooring.
      And now another trashcan.
      So 3 buckets that we empty 4 times a day.
      Floor full of puppy pads that get soaked before we can change them.
      And a towel and a fan.
      Please help. I'm afraid we're gonna have structural damage around the AC unit.

      He did say while he was cleaning the drain pan (or something 🤷🏼‍♀️) that he may have dislodged a little wire that was sticking into a thermostat.
      He wiggled it back in but that was last night.
      It DID cause the a/c to start cooling again.
      It ALSO began pouring again.
      It's like monsoon season inside my home. 😩🤦🏼‍♀️

      I use a small 18vdc vacuum with a small wand attachment. First I use Dometic brand coil cleaner, and a spray bottle filled with warm / hot water.
      First I spray the coil cleaner real thick after covering the plenum opening. Let it sit and fizzle for a few then rinse with the spray bottle. Then I take a nail brush the kind you can buy at Walmart or any store and will scrape upward gently along the coils loosening the gunk. Then hit it with coil cleaner again. Then once satisfied and can see clean clear light through the coil. I use the vacuum to suck up all the gunk from the drip pan, using my finger I will confirm I can see through the drain hole if not I use a small long nylon brush on a piece of wire to ream the orifice until clear. I'll also use the spray bottle to lightly mist the case / and around the pan and use rags to clean out all the dirt or...
      I also will use a small battery operated air blaster that's marketed towards cleaning Computers! I use it on blowing out furnaces, like canned air without the can and can be used until the battery dies. But it works excellent for the rear coil getting it clear of dirt and debri.
      And always carry a can of wasp spray when working on RV Air conditioners. They love those things.

    Didn't say where the condensate normally goes. Which is just out on the RV exterior top, and runs off the roof somewhere (path of least resistance?).
    On mine, the roof has been "replaced" the buyer said. But up there it looks like a loose rubberized bladder.
    I think even when I make sure the drain holes are free, it is still pooling backup towards the unit base and making way to back inside. But I'll see today.
    This video was good start direction what to do, then I'll see what would make it complete.

    • @RVUNDERWAY

      Great to have you here, Beth. Welcome! That mildew smell is probably coming from mold/mildew on the evaporator coils or the insulation inside the coil cover. If you can, I would check those two things. Hope this helps...and again, thanks for dropped by. Good luck, Beth. Peace.

    • @RVUNDERWAY

      Well, if you AC cover is undamaged and intact, this type of leaking should only result when your AC is running. So, if you have leaking when it is raining (with AC off), then you have a breach in the AC seal or a damaged AC cover. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Peace.

    We had our AC on Fan/Lo over night and had a significant rain storm. When I woke, we had water dripping from the AC unit. We've never had water dripping before on our 2 year old RV. Do you think it's a clogged drain pan or the rain storm that has caused the dripping?

    • @RVUNDERWAY
      @RVUNDERWAY  Рік тому

      Could be either one, RH63. I would definitely check for clogged drain holes. Then, if they are clear, then I'd examine the seal around the A/C unit while you have the cover off. Thanks for checking out our channel...we appreciate you. Peace.
