How RV AC & HVAC Systems Work
Hot air from inside your rig is drawn in using a fan and moved across an evaporator, which transfers the heat into a refrigerant, cooling it before it pushes the now cool air throughout the RV HVAC system. During this process, a refrigerant vapor moves through the system to the roof, where there is a compressor and condenser. This is where the refrigerant is compressed back into a liquid, and the heat is released through the condenser coils. This is a closed AC system where no air is added or removed from your RV.
The complete system of an RV Roof Air Conditioner consists of a sealed system and air moving system. Within each of these systems, there is any number of parts that should be inspected routinely for function and wear. In your RV-sealed system, the largest components are the compressor, condenser, and evaporator. They are what work together to circulate air, removing heat when outdoor temperatures rise and cold when they start to dip. The second system is a simple motor and two fans. Between these two systems, there are various components that can be expensive to replace. Start with basic troubleshooting and a professional specializing in getting your RV AC system back up and running fast.
Troubleshooting Your RV AC System
The most common RV AC problems we get requests for include air conditioners not turning on and the air not keeping up with the outdoor heat. If your RV AC system won’t turn on, the first step to take is to ensure your 110v outlets are functioning properly. If they are it’s possible that a breaker has tripped and simply needs to be reset. If your unit is otherwise malfunctioning, you may need the help of a professional RV AC mechanic to diagnose or repair your rig.
Avoid Costly Repairs With Routine Maintenance
You can avoid costly repairs to your RV AC system by taking a few simple steps to ensure your system is ready to run. This maintenance includes items you can perform on your own RV AC and taking your RV to an experienced mechanic for a professional opinion. A number of maintenance items can be performed by RV owners including replacing AC air filters, which is a quite straightforward matter and should be done regularly. Other maintenance that can be performed by RV owners includes cleaning dust, dirt, and debris from coils and fins. For this, you may need to use equipment such as a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove grime from the AC coils directly, and in the case of the condenser coils, you may need additional tools to access the coils and a ladder to access the roof. When these steps are performed regularly, they ensure your RV AC system is operating with the least amount of resistance and, therefore, functioning at its best. This will undoubtedly extend the lifespan of your RV AC & HVAC system and reduce overall costs.
