HVAC tech for over 20 years and this is spot on. First time I’ve seen someone mention the thermistor as well as removing the negative post first. Great job.
Great content. Question tho: do you have a video on furnace maintence since winter is coming up?
Thanks

I am confused about one thing on the condenser coil. I cleaned the front like you said to and it looks great. But when I was wiping down the fan blade, I saw the back side of the condenser coil. Man it was VERY dirty with dirt & some kind of build up on it. You never mentioned cleaning the back side. Couldn't it be cleaned too! Please help me know what to do next.
This video was the best, concise and understandable from start to finish! I really liked how you shared the type of spray to clean with. I am now a Subscriber and I approve this video!
Blowing just Hot Air. Not Cold ????
I just ordered Nu-Calgon 4171-75 Evap Foam No Rinse Evaporator Coil Cleaner, can I use this for both the RV condenser and evaporator ?
Thanks for the tips working on my AC Teepee foam board project. Just subscribed 👍🇺🇲
I just got a class B with an old Penguin 600 series AC. The previous owner let the foam cabin filters dry rot and half the foam is up in AC intake I bet. I tried to pick as much as I could out from below. Will I be able to get that stuff out by taking roof shroud off? Thanks for this video
Thanks for the vid! 😃👍
Great vid. Learned much.
Why not just pull the AC fuse?
Ross – this gets me thinking. I have a white powdery dust material coming out of my AC ceiling vents. Our unit is a 2021 Jayco Greyhawk 30z with dual Coleman-Mach AC units. Have you ever seen this? It is not construction debris or dust left over from the assembly process. I pulled the interior covers off and vacuumed them out, as well as sealed all the open areas into the ceiling with silver metal duct tape where needed (and it was needed). I also pulled off all 12 of the round ceiling vents and looked into them. There was some construction dust/material in them. I used a shop-vac to suck from the ceiling vents while running a leaf blower into the supply ducts to evacuate all of said debris. I then reassembled the entire system. The white powder dust snow came again after several days of using the AC units. Pulling down the interior covers again yielded a non-significant amount of this white powdery substance on these covers that were just cleaned days before – all while parked, i.e. no driving in between. I believe that this is aluminum oxide coming off of the evaporator coils after being used ( i.e. getting wet and then drying). Once dry, when the AC fans kick in, the snow comes out of the AC vents again. Thi si a significant amount and covers everything in the RV – including getting into food, drinks, etc. Not fun. Very annoying. I am wondering if you, or anyone seeing/reading this, or anyone you have talked to has seen this occur in their RVs. If so, did cleaning the coils fix the problem? Or are the coils defective from the factory and need to be replaced. This is such an annoying problem. Any insight?
Ross, good video and explanation. I have watch several of your videos and you always do a nice job balancing length of video, timing, and covering the material.
Great video buddy. Thanks
Great video
Hear a lot of people on FB talking about not trusting the factory water lines and/or the factory water line connections. They say that all RV'ers should replace their entire water system with PEX and with either PEX fittings or barbed connections. Thats above my pay grade and seems like a huge job to fix a problem that doesn't yet exist. Would you consider doing a video on this topic, or about what should be done to improve the strength of water line connections (eg radiator hose clamps), if anything should be done? Thnx
Thanks 👍
Brotha you do some amazing videos. I’ve learned so so much from these videos. Thanks so much.
How to get rid of bees nest under air unit
This is the 2nd video of your videos I’ve watched and it’s the simplest, most informative, and best video I’ve seen on this topic. Thanks for making this stuff easier for a newbie like me.
Great tips and application. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the information on cleaning ac, we have a small surveyor and are outside nola and it's humid and very dusty in the campground were at, this video was so good, thank you again also thank you for getting straight to it and not adding a bunch of other stuff!!! God bless you & family abundantly and Happy camping!!!!
Thanks ! This would seem obvious – I never thought there were two "radiators" to look at. Again, thank you very much.
Great video. I got my Rv about a month ago and Im living in it full time at the moment. I'm a contract healthcare worker. I will be cleaning the air conditioner when it gets alittle cooler. My question is that my power in the park went off today for about 3 minutes and my air conditioning did not come back on it turned off completely. I was able to turn it back on at the thermostat. No breaker was tripped and I have a surge protector on my plug. I have 2 dogs traveling with me so when I got home an hour later it was 91 degrees. Do you have any Idea why it wouldn't come back on? I have the same 2019 grand design 2150 rb as you I believe.
I have a manual disconnect for the battery to the RV located in the storage bay. Will disconnecting that suffice in lieu of disconnecting the battery?
I just did that today & there was a wasps nest but they had vacated in the past, the evaporator coils & fins were clean looking. the condenser fins were all gunkd on the outside but not inside, strAng who’d think?, a short, fat screw driver with gentle touch for fin bends & then that frost cab brush to fine straighten them Cms to work. putting cover back on without bump-dNTng them again is a subtle endeavor though😯👋
I think I’ll blow my ac shroud with a lEf blowr from 20 ft away standing on a 2 ft step block, etc. to see if a bunch of angry wasps come flying out, while I’m not on roof.. might be eazier to escape. BTW,, gr8 viDO chEf, 4 rEL 👋
I think ail live dangerously & only disconnect the negative(fyi, NE1 following that advice, there’s a 50% chance I’m rong & a spark could ignit spray botL & you could die, & U won’t B abL to get me bak cause I’ll alreD B ded from sAm s2pid mistAk✋)😑.
