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. 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 air conditioner uses the washable kind of air filters, then of course you can rinse it out and reuse it. How often should you clean it? That depends on how much you have been running your AC - and also the general environment (whether it has been a dusty or dirty area). If you use it a lot, or where the air quality is poor, you will have to clean your air filter more often. 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 inspect: Your Coleman RV air conditioner has drainage holes. All AC units have them - it's where condensed water drains out safely to the outside. 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.
