I realize that most owners of RV's have paid a lot of money for their Coleman RV air conditioner. It is a sizeable investment. So you undoubtedly want to keep your unit operational for as long as possible -- and to make sure that it operates most efficiently as possible. You can consult your owner's guide for tips, but the trouble with these manuals is that sometimes they are very technical and hard to read. So I thought I would just share with you some of my personal thoughts on general maintenance of your unit. 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 need to get inside of your unit - just a little bit. A good example is your air filter. Some models of air conditioners use disposable air filters. When they become dirty, just throw them out and replace with a new one. Don't try to cheat and clean it off -- it will not work properly if you try to recycle it. If your Coleman RV air conditioner uses the washable kind of air filters, then of course you can rinse it out. How often should you do this? Well, depending on how much you are using your AC, you may have to wash it out several times a month. If you are running it in dusty and dirty locations, you may have to clean it even more often than that. 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.
