I think that you are referring to the top portion. Ours comes out also. To "fix" itn I slowly retract it, moving it up and down until it fully winds up.

I don't even have to watch any more then the 1st 2 mins. I'd say your mech is shot. You can also jump the mechanism to easily test that. Typically a 14-12 ga wire to test each feature and timing.

PHIL! How are you doing? I was really surprised to see you in this video. Jim (The '73 Step Side). I have a 2005 Bounder 34M that had the refrigerant leak out through a low pressure hose in the front next to the generator. Oil on the rubber at where the metal end is attached it makes me certain that's the problem. I took it to have a new hose installed & the threads on the evaporator are disintegrated. The A/C shop doesn't get into that with RVs. The Freightliner shop said 10 hours labor, which sounds pretty high. I have a friend who is a certified (and very good) welder. I think he can weld a new male threaded piece onto the old one. Probably either weld on another aluminum end like what's there now, or braze on a brass fitting. What do you think? I need a new hose made at the A/C shop anyway.

I pray you see this comment, I have a question, one that I thought would've been a simple find, but I have searched the factory manual that came with our Coachman mirada f53 chassis. I have searched everywhere else, and no definitive answer anywhere. -under the dash on passenger side, at feet, is a vent. It has 2 reservoirs, a bottom one, and one that is above it, that has a flap that stas closed on a/c, and lays down on max a/c. On the front of the flap "was" wha I believe is a "sponge." Well, I looked through the vent cover, and water was dripping onto the sponges on the door flap, while on max A/c, so the flap was down. When I touched the "sponge" it was so brittle and crumbly it just scraped off. My question is, is water supposed to drip into those reservoirs that I can see I'm tha vent under dash? I ca feel air sucking into an inch wide hole in middle of reservoirs, one on bottom, and one on top on other side of door flap. Also, whe I go under hood, the black box, has a nipple that is leaking the water, ad I had to attach a hose to it so it would stop running all over the battery, but the black box is dripping water from around the seals/edges as well. So the water that's dripping from that nipple, is it coming from those reservoirs inside that black box? It's the same spot that I see in your video where that silver round thing is hanging, and the nipple where I attached that hose, is hanging right behind that silver metal round part. And also, when searching this up, what is Tha vent or system actually called so I can find a diagram for it, or video. Thanks so much

It sounds like you are discussing condensation, which is perfectly normal. The amount of condensation varies according to the humidity. This is only a problem if the "black box" doesn't drain. A wet dark box is ideal for the growth of mold. Condensation dripping or flowing from your AC is a healthy sign that everything is working.

ok, so I can tell you have an old Evans AC evap system. the engineering on these were somewhere between terrible and awful. first, I can see your vent doors are open. I suggest that you permanently close these. I screwed mine shut and then taped over them with some real furnace tape. that keeps the input air from the front of the coach from entering the evap/heater core box.... cold or hot, the AC system is forced to draw the air from inside the coach.... You can even put a filter over the intake....2nd, I replaced my valve with a spring valve new from amazon. so when power is applied it opens fully and I can heat the front of the coach and when it is closed the AC temps reduced. The original valves are poorly designed, often don't close completely and only open 5/16" so one freezes in the winter. Price is stupid high..... lastly, there are newer other coolants that can be used in these old AC systems. I use enviro safe, and my output temp from my dash vents is 36 degrees. Yes, you read that correctly....36 degrees... we carry around with us 30 gallons of propane so don't bother with the Closed AC system will explode bit... I cool the entire front of the coach 2/3rds of the coach... no need for a drape.
