As an RV owner, you paid a great deal for your Coleman RV air conditioner. I know that - so I also know that you want to keep it running well. But, like me, you may have trouble in reading your owner's manual. Sometimes they are very difficult to understand - too technical. While I cannot answer every question that you might have in this short article, I will try to share some personal thoughts and experiences with you. First of all, and most importantly: if you want your Coleman RV air conditioner to consistently operate at it's best, you will have to clean it regularly. You don't have any other option --and I'm not talking about only cleaning off the outsides. No way: you will also have to take time to clean some of the things on the inside, like the air filter. In fact, if your unit uses disposable air filters, don't try to clean it at all - they can only be disposed of. Disposable filters should never be cleaned - they will not work properly if they are cleaned and reused. If your Coleman RV air conditioner uses an air filter that can be cleaned and reused, then you should do this. How often should you clean it? Well, if you have been running your air conditioning unit a lot -- or if you have been using it outside when the air quality has been poor (very dusty, for example) -- then you will need to clean it out 2-3 times a month. 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 at it, I would also suggest - strongly - that you inspect the gasket (what the unit sits on) for any tears or dirt or other signs of wear. If the gasket becomes worn, water could leak into your trailer when it rains. 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.
