Confessions of an RV Technician – Learned from Problems Seen in the Field

RV Help - Why is my RV AC not keeping me cool enough?


Listen Later

Do you stay comfortable in your RV when it's above a 100 degrees outside? At those temperatures, do you even want to be outside? And why doesn't your RV stay at 75 degrees inside? In this episode, I'm going to give you some RV help to answer the question, why is my RV air conditioner not keeping me cool enough? RV air conditioner may not be effectively cooling the interior, even when the unit is running continuously. The key reasons include:1. Dirty air conditioner filters and coils, which restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. 2. Airflow issues, such as blocked vents or problems with the air duct divider, causing short-cycling of the air. 3. Electrical issues that reduce power to the compressor and other components.4. An overworked AC unit in extremely hot weather, causing the compressor to shut down periodically to prevent damage. 5. High humidity, which forces the AC to work harder to remove moisture before cooling. 6. Low refrigerant levels due to leaks. 7. A failed compressor, a critical component of the AC system. 8. Minimal insulation in the RV, allowing heat to radiate in and overwhelm the AC unit. There are many RV configurations, and this information is general to a large percentage of RVs out there. Other things to consider. Many times you will have a combination of issues. So for example, dirty coils, a dirty filter, maybe your RV has very minimal insulation. Put all these together on a very hot day. You should not expect your RV to stay. Very cool.Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@rfactorrv?sub_confirmation=1Contact us:Chris RatcliffR Factor RV ServicesEmail: [email protected]: RFactorRV.comIG: @RFactorRV
