How to install rv air conditioner Videos

I also purchased the same Dometic air conditioner for my grooming trailer. I had it professionally installed because It looked to big a job for me. The Dometic ac blew out really cold the first few months, but now it doesn't cool as well as it did at first. I checked the evaporator and condenser coils. The condenser looked pretty good, but the evaporator had lots of dog hair. I removed the dog hair and cleaned both coils with a coil cleaner. The ac is still not cooling my trailer as it first did. Then today I noticed that some of the ac air is blowing between my insulation and the roof. I'm going to remove the indoor shroud and glue up that loose insulation so air doesn't flow into the roof. I hope this does the trick. Thank you for the video. I wasn't sure how I was going to remove the inside shroud, but after viewing your video now I know about the eight screws and where they are. I'm still some what confused though as to why at first the ac was cooling off my trailer really well in the beginning and now it isn't. Any advice on other things to check would be really appreciated. Thank you.

would I be able to run this unit off a car battery or something similar? im looking to convert a small cargo trailer to a camping trailer. I'd like to be able to run lights and the A/C off one battery. any suggestions?

I'm working on restoring and fixing up an old Kings Highway motorhome. I believe it has a leak near the rear A/C unit. So I'm going to have to look into how to seal that up properly. I've been watching all the RV Ed 101 videos to learn as much as I can, as i've never owned an RV before and I got this cheap off craigslist for $2k.

LOL, I was watching this because I'm getting ready to do the same thing. I'm watching it thinking this guy seems familiar, then I saw the name. "Stovepipe!"

You should consider getting a coil comme and straighten up some of those coils on the AC unit, instead of the tape you can also get a air duct paste, it works a bit better than the tape, correct me if I'm wrong will the onboard generator run the AC units or do they draw too much power??

Hey Great video and awesome work I enjoy watching your video's Gives me an Idea of what to expect doing different upgrades and repairs Bought my rv in the start of winter ( had snow on roof ) so I really dont know the condition of the roof I hope it's not to bad ,LOL LIKED video (thumbs up )

not t-shirt weather here yet , Cheers from the Ice Shack

Happy nearly Saint Patricks day from Ireland...

Outstanding video, exactly the help I needed! Thanks for posting.

Thnx for your video and the link for the gasket kit.

I got an auto-fan switch kit from airswitchrv for mine when I changed ACs so the fan cycles with the cooling now which is nice since the fan is so noisy.

There should be a gasket (it's about 1"thick) with adhesive on one side that should have been laid onto the clean fiberglass roof first. When tightening the 4 clamp bolts, only lightly compress this gasket. Without this gasket the unit will leak, it also spaces the unit just high enough where one could add condensate hose(s) to direct the condensate where you'd like it to drip instead of collecting on the RV roof. Might as well check all the roof penetrations, and screws while your up there, a leak = mildew and rot. Without checking you may not know of a leak until one day you open the door and that very depressing smell hits you..Bed screws and hardware down with a high quality polyurethane or polysulfide caulk. Silicone is great for building aquariums but it WILL leak if you use it for sealing your roof. Very good video, thanks for your time.
