RV Air Conditioners

The summer heat can be a burden while out on the road RV'ing. Having cool air to retreat to can be a trip saver and an air conditioner installed on your RV can be one of the greatest appliances you could have. An air-conditioner not only cools down your vehicle, but it also filters the air and reduces the humidity within your RV. Most RV's come with roof-mounted air conditioner's and if your RV did not come with this, it can easily be added. A roof unit can be ducted through the heating ducts or air vents and these air-conditioners run off of shore power or a generator.

A toilet typically consists of several key parts: the tank, bowl, seat, and lid. Inside the tank, you'll find the fill valve, flush valve, flapper, and overflow tube, while the bowl connects to a siphon jet and trapway to facilitate flushing. Additionally, there's a handle or button to initiate the flush.

In most cases RV toilets sit directly above the black water tank, so if you do have a minor clog simply pushing the clog down with a toilet brush or plunger while the toilet valve is open will remedy the problem. Generally these are created when not enough water is used to fill the toilet prior to using it as well as when flushing. This type of clog can lead to a larger problem when it's time to dump the black tank. Clogs from the black tank to the dump valve are much harder to clear as well as clogs in sewer hoses. The best way to limit this issue is to always pre charge the black tank with at least 40% water and toilet chemical mixture which will reduce the risk of clogs during dumping and keep your RV smelling good during your camping stay.

However, if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, a professional can handle the replacement for you.

A continuously running RV toilet is often caused by a faulty valve or seal, such as the flapper or flush valve seal, which may not be closing properly. Additionally, issues with the water supply line or a malfunctioning float mechanism could also prevent the toilet from stopping once the tank is full.

RV air conditioners also require minor upkeep to ensure they operate as expected, here are a few tips to keep your unit blowing cold air.

Air Filters and Air Quality

- In addition to its well-known cooling capacity, the air conditioning unit can also filter air to remove dust, allergens, and other particles to improve air quality in the RV. Whether it's air quality or air temperature that is of the utmost importance to you and your family, keeping the filter(s) clean is one of the simplest things you can do to improve your AC unit's performance and make it last through countless summer nights. Dirty air filters can become clogged and reduce airflow as well as the overall efficient operation of the unit. To prevent problems such as this, you should follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintaining the unit's filters.


Visual Inspection

- The plastic cover of the roof-mounted section of the air conditioning unit is called the "shroud". Check the shroud for cracks or breaks in the cover. Driving with a weakened shroud that could fly off at any moment poses an obvious danger. Replacement shrouds are relatively inexpensive and can easily be changed out.


Annual Cleaning and Maintenance

- Most manufacturers recommend you clean the condenser coil at least once a year. This task requires climbing up onto the roof and removing the shroud to access the interior of the air conditioning unit. There are many on-line resources available that provide do-it-yourself instructions, here is a video we think is pretty thorough. RV Air Conditioner Cleaning
