Cleaning Coleman Mach 5 AC Unit

[@peteheckman13]

Thank you so much. Great info. Don’t think our unit has ever been cleaned. After several years it’s not keeping up with the 106F heat as we rolled through Redding CA.

106° is tough to keep up with the ac units are typically only good for a 20° difference between inside and outside.

Yep that’s what the mobile tech said. He advised running the generator and AC while driving to try to stay ahead of it, and accept the hit to fuel economy.. which is what we did. He sealed some leaks in the sheet metal on the input side which helped. Thanks again!

I also put pipe insulation on the cold condenser line.

Glad you are all fixed up. Always something. Travel safe. Suz and Jeff

Have one just like yours its making a loud noises from the inside. It looks like i would be able to reach the fins. I already looked and cleaned the fan coil fins outside. All the weather stripping just crumbled. Im a 62yr old woman and if will be difficult to do from outside. Anyway im taking a look in the morning so ill let you know what i find. Is there a place to oil it??

How did you make out?

I have a unit like yours but the water drip tray was clogged so water would drip down into the RV. I found another video to show where that is, how to remove it and clean it. Just might want to add that in another video, if you haven't already. Thanks.

I will check it out

Thank you SO much for sharing this video❣️ Which fin straightener do you recommend? It appears there are different sizes. Perhaps I have to pull out my Coleman instruction manual. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks again!!!

Where did you get the bristle brush to clean the cooling fins?

[@bfreerv]

I ordered it from Amazon
