Thanks Jim! I'm going to try this asap. Also love your notes about safety and prepping in the beginning. Can't wait to watch more!
Thanks Heather
Absolutely amazing video. Great job, thank you very much! I appreciate your service as well.
Thank you very much
Thank you for this! Trying this today before I have to replace ours fully! We full time so we ran ours all year last year in AL.
Hope my video helps you out. Thanks for watching
Thank you brother for all of your help! I appreciated you!
Glad to help, thanks for watching
Thankyou for your thorough video on doing these AC units.
You welcome thanks for watching
Well done! Thanks for posting this video.
Your welcome if you have the same Ac the top does come apart so you do not have to go inside to clean. The hard foam should separate in the middle. Sorry I did not show that in the video. Thank you for watching
Thank you for the video. I got a large fixer upper pop up camper last year for something to do during covid. I fixed everything on it and we’ve been using it (a family of six plus two big dogs)but I wondered if I could clean the AC for better performance for these Georgia hot summers. I watched your vid and our AC works even better now! Thank you!!!!
Cool glad I could help happy camping
Thanks for all the info!! Great video, very helpful!! You rock!!
Glad I could help thanks for the nice comment
Excellent attention to detail
Thanks!
Thanks for the video Jim. I just finished one of the two units on my camper after watching your video. One thing I ran into that might be worth mentioning, after buttoning up everything and turning on the unit, there was residual water and cleaning solution dripping out of the inside vent. Luckily I'd left the tub in place on the bed that is there to catch anything that dripped during cleaning. I ended up moving the mattress of the wooden bed foundation completely and placed a plastic bag under the tub as well as there was a bit of spray coming from the vent as well. Once the dripping and spray is gone I'm going to have to clean the wardrobe mirrors where a lot of the spray landed. Kind of surprised me because I only used a spray bottle to rinse the coils and there wasn't that much water.
Good info never thought about some people having a bed under the air conditioner.
Thankyou.very In fomative.looking forward to watching your other vids.
Thanks for watching
Nice video and comprehensive too! thanks for sharing.
Your welcome
Cool. Very thorough and detailed.
Thanks
Thank you for the information
your welcome, thanks for watching
Thank you for your video
You are welcome
Great video Jim. A little dirt can change the performance of a ac unit in the hottest part of the year. The more maintenance you do at home the happier you will be on the road.
Very true! Thanks for commenting and watching my video hope you have a cool summer
Thank you
Your very welcome
Nicely done. I'm about to clean the ac unit.
hope this helps, if your AC is exactly like mine the foam over the inside evaporator does come apart up on the roof.
Ty this looks pretty easy.
Not to bad, if you have the exact same ac the black hard insulation does come apart on the roof so you would not have to go inside.
Very good portable AC. Very good price as well for the performance!
Thanks for watching
Do "not" use 3 in 1 oil to oil fan. Ether Bering grease or high quality machine oil. 3 in 1 oil turns to sticky varnish over a short period of time. You can get away with that on a door hinge but not a motor. Too much heat and friction.
Thanks for the info never new that
excellent...such a peaceful video. thank you. Love from South Alabama.
Thanks for watching
Safety briefing spoken like a true soldier.

Thanks for watching Mark happy camping
Thanks for posting this now we will clean ours. Haha and we are full time rvers. I'll probably use this for our blog. 😊
Awesome I plan on doing some long camping trips when I retire.
Nice video
Thank you buddy
I always wear eye protection, it seems no matter what I do, dust and debris are attracted to my eyes, just a mention. Thorough video, good step by step instruction.
thank you for watching
thanks for the tip! didn't even know i had to clean it from the inside.
You do not have to clean from the inside, if you can take the top apart.
@@DIYJIM ok cool , appreciate it 👍
Nice job!
Just bought a Work and Play toy hauler. Has a full length aluminum roof ( no seams). Not sure if I can walk on it but will do some homework.
I would love to have a toy hauler but then I have to get a new truck
I am actually living in my 5thw for the last 2 years,
and so I am new to all this RV maintenance stuff,,,
But I've realized, that I need to , not wait til summer, and then find out , "oops! I should have cleaned that , already"
So, that is what brings me to your video,
And I've got to say,,,
Yours is the best one so far that I've seen,
And what I mean by that is,
You first start off with some tips ,. Like checking your shoes for rocks .
I thought that was smart.
I hadn't thought bout that one,. So I will DEFINATLY be checking my bottoms of my shoes ,,
Anyways,,,you did a really great job at demonstrating what needs to be done,. You were very thoroughral , and easy to understand and follow along with,,,. (you weren't "all over the place")
So I really think you ought to make some more of these "how to" videos ,. If you haven't already .
So thanks again for taking the time to make this video
Glad you like my video here are a few others that I made for my camper th-cam.com/play/PLZEGsnRsdHN5ZYMQ42XzsKjICcNR36pa2.html
@@DIYJIM thank you for responding
Looks like we have the same make and model. mine is a dometic 13.5 btu 2018 jayco. Not sure if you realize but the Styrofoam cover up top slides straight up and off to make cleaning easier.
Thanks I figured that out after I made the video lol
Set playback speed to 2x. “If” you choose to add oil (some have a grease zero which is always a better option if so), make sure you wipe it off very good, otherwise it becomes a dust magnet 🧲.
Thanks for the video.
thanks for watching and the tip
Excellent video, thank you! However what I’m trying to solve is that I have a clogged drain in my air conditioner. I also have the older AC model that you showed pictures of later in the video. I’ll look for a different video for help with this.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting
Maybe a little late to the party but the foam actually very easily separates on your unit. I have the exact same ac and it pulls straight part to be able to clean it.
thanks for the info and thanks for watching
I always have a can of wasp spray handy also.
Probably a good idea, guess I was lucky. Thanks for the comment
Just opened my AC from the dolphin I just bought and a fricken dozen wasps come about!
When I pulled my cover off, there were 4 huge wasp nests. Fortunately no body was home. Guess I need to check this more often.
Thanks for the info vid-just a thought-there is cleaner spray for the evaporator coils that is waterless and rinse free! Just spray it and let it do its magic!
I know but I never thought that would work good enough to clean thoroughly. Thanks for watching
After a 300 .00.+,1 hr service call, thx, it was suggested to use sir compressor to clean coils water all bad around RV roofs
Thanks for the info
How do you get the little circle covers off of the vent on the inside of the camper?
very carefully with a small screwdriver. If you have the exact same AC you might be able to clean the entire thing from the roof. I found out after I made the video, that my black foam does come apart so that you can clean the evaporator inside. If that would make it easier. Thanks for watching
Great video thanks! Was the vacuum enough to clean the inside part?
After the video I found out I could have taken the foam apart on the roof.
That foam comes off on top
Thanks I figured that out after I made the video
Jim, nice clean roof.... good job. be aware that the foam cover over the half of your A/C is removable, it actually comes off pretty easy, no tools just pull up and you can do all the cleaning from on top of the roof (except for the inside filter). You can see on my video of air conditioner service and repair. have a great day
Thanks I will check it out
I watched your video, I might make another video maybe next year that looks like it comes apart easy. I don’t know how I did not notice that. Thanks for pointing it out. Do you ever share your videos on Facebook? I joined every camping group I could and share my videos on the groups. Just don’t flood them with your videos because they might not like that. Also some do not allow you to share TH-cam videos. It might help you get more subscribers and views. Thank you again. You don’t live near williamsport pa by chance.
@@DIYJIM cool, glad I could help. Los Angeles, Ca. you are welcome to join my Facebook group if you like facebook.com/groups/RVAddOnsandMods
Can you spray in the other direct against the flow
Guess you can try thanks for watching
I have the same unit on my rv. Do you know the make and model? I have a broken vent cover so I can't use the filter.
Sorry I do not, thanks for watching
"I have a container to hold the screws". I am SURE this is the voice of someone ( like me) who has had critical screws " go walkabout" Listen to him or cry!
Love your comment hope my video helped you out. After I made this video I found out that the black foam does come apart so I could have cleaned the evaporator from on the roof
Trying to fix my sister's rvs ac, looks exactly like yours down to the foam. Replaced the capacitor but it still just hums when turned on. I tried giving the fan a little push and that kicked it on, but it eventually stopped. The entire fan motor area is covered in dust, do you think cleaning it will fix the issue or does it sound like a different problem?
Sorry i could not say but cleaning it could not hurt. Maybe the fan motor is going bad.
@@DIYJIM Update, hit both ends of the shaft where it connects to the motor with 3in1 oil, starts up just fine but eventually kicks back off.
The person my mom had come out to look at it said that it wasn't the motor, so she keeps saying it's not the motor. The only other thing I can think of is that I'm not getting the oil in far enough on the side opposite the fan due to limited spacing.
If your rv has a ladder you can walk on roof!:)
I think there are still a lot or RV’s with no ladder that you can walk on the roof.
Just watched your video... but my ac dont blow air so hard like yours what can I do? Thanks
Maybe your blower motor is going bad, might want to have someone look at it. Hope you get it figured out. Thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM thank you
Make sure evaporator is clean. If its plugged it won't flow air very well.
From the inside, I got the four visible screws out but the two round white tabs are hard to get out, to get those two screws out. Any tricks? You kind of skipped that part in your video ha ha I assume that is easy for you also?
Never mind got it with a knife and sorry accidentally on my dads account lol but thanks for the good video and info!
Sorry hope they rest helps ya to clean your AC happy camping
Why not take the foam off of the evaporator and clean it?
I didn’t know it came off when I made this video. Thanks for watching
I wish you would have inspected the drain. Maybe I missed it.
i think if i can remember the condenser coils just drip on the pan and run out on your roof so make sure the pan that is attached to the roof is cleaned good.
@@DIYJIM oh. Sweet!
Does the tray have drain holes? I have to inspect mine.
i would have to go on top of my camper to look at it. I'm sure they all could be a little different. I'm sure the evaporation drips into the tray then drains onto the roof.
It's 103 degrees outside. My breaker keeps tripping on my ac. I'm going to die in here
Hope you get it figured out, sorry to here that
Seriously? If you've got air con your NOT camping 😂😂😂
I did enough camping in the Army in tents no AC. Lol
@@DIYJIM well played Jim 😉👍
Why is that everybody that does this types of video's talk like we are all idiot's and in a mono tone voice
Thanks for watching
Hehe if you read some of the comments, you will get your answer....lol.
I live in sand dunes in waynoka ok. Ours is only 2 years old totally rebuild with all new parts. I sprayed mine down because it was a little dirty with all the sand, dust and wind during the winter into spring. It's never had a issue. Been running ours for about 3 weeks now since spraying it down and cranking it back up again for this summer. It's blowing cold and seemed to be cycling normally. But yesterday and today its been turning off but less then a minute turning back on and making a clicking noise more than normal. It's still blowing very cold though. Just cycling way more than normal and clicking... This can't be good right? Any reasons or suggestions as of to why it's acting this way? Thank you!
Sorry I’m really not sure what could be going on. If you get it figured out let me know what the problem was. Sorry I can’t help
@DIY JIM It's ok, thank you for taking time to respond to me. I appreciate that very much. I read it could be my thermostat is going bad. Hopefully it's a simple fix if so. I'll definitely let you know what happens next. Thanks again buddy
Thank you
