Having a Coleman RV air conditioner installed in your RV is a tremendous convenience - and an expensive one. So it is understandable that, having paid for the unit, you would want to keep it running in tip-top condition. The problem with consulting your owner's manual is that they can be a difficult read - very technical at times. So I decided to write this article to share some of my own personal experiences -- I hope you find it interesting and helpful. 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 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. Also: don't forget to inspect the top of your Coleman RV air conditioner. This is the part of your unit that you can see on top of your RV. Sometimes small sticks and stones and other debris can get caught up there. If you do notice stuff like that up there, clean it off. 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.
