    Should the AC unit be off or on?

    I’m at the beach and noticed that drip inside. Had to put two hoses together to reach up there but rinsed it all out and so far so good! I changed the filter also just in case (since I had a few extra with me I figured may as well since it was wet lol) thank you for taking the time to make this video

    Thank you so much! I am scared of height’s and I had to troubleshoot this myself because the air conditioner stopped working and I am in Yuma Arizona right now over 100 degrees right now. I had to figure it out- went and purchased a nozzle, hooked it up went half way up the ladder and sprayed!!! It worked- so happy!!!! Thanks again!!!

  • @JustVinnyMusic

    thanks for that --- been getting a lot of freezing on my evaporator due to a lot of water apparerently not properly draining out, and anticipating a big project on the roof. This is exactly what I needed to see. The other day I drove my RV to Walmart and when I parked I saw a sudden large amount of water running off the roof - dislodged by the driving and stopping. So I had a hunch water was not properly draining up there.

    wouldn't this make more water to leak inside as well? and how frequently should this be done so it doesn't happen again?

    • @OverTheHills2019
      @OverTheHills2019  2 года назад +1

      No, the rinse does not make water come inside. Ed does this maybe about every 2-3 months. It has been working very well for us. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching!
