Roof Air Conditioners

Q: Why does my air conditioner freeze up — does it need Freon?

A: Your air conditioner will freeze up because you have turned down the fan speed and not the temperature setting. Too low of an air flow over the coils will cause them to freeze. If you are too cold turn down your thermostat first, then adjust your blower/fan speed.

Q: I’m getting water dripping from my roof air conditioner why?

A: The drain plug on top could be clogged, restricted air flow, or bad air conditioner seal
on the roof top.

Q: How cold will my air conditioner get?

A: The air coming out of the air conditioner will blow 18 to 20 degrees cooler that it draws in. If it is 90 degrees in you camper it will blow out 70 degrees air, and will keep reducing the temperature as it sucks in cooler air.

Q: When should I have my air conditioner recharged?

A: These units are not like a car with rubber seals that can leak out over time. They are sealed from the factory, the same as your in house refrigerator. You do not recharge roof air conditioners.
