How to clean the drains on you rv roof air conditioner so it doesn t backup into your rv.

Rv roof ac drain off roof.

The fix is easy. One of the most common causes of the water leaking from air conditioner in rv is drain pan not able to drain the water properly. If it is leaking inside you most likely have a clogged outlet which can be easily opened with a stiff wire probed in the drain outlet. For safety sake put a lock out tag on the switch or thermostat to warn others not to turn it on or better still disconnect the power to the rv.

Which ideally should drain the water from the evaporator coil on the roof instead of inside of the rv. At roof top level remove the shroud covering your a c unit. This moisture then drops down to the drip pan and is supposed to drain out the drain holes on both sides of the underside of the roof ac. The reason for this gap is that on most roof top a c units the condensation drains out the bottom of the unit between the base of the air conditioner and the roof.

I would suggest taking off the exterior shroud and metal evaporator shield and cleaning the drip pan and checking the drain holes. Turn off the air conditioner unit. The moisture that is removed from inside the rv must be relocated to the roof of the rv where it usually evaporates. On very hot and humid days well over 35 of the energy used by the roof air conditioner is for moisture removal alone.

The condensation drips down into a pan which has an outlet on the side of the base pan that lets the water run onto the roof.
