keeping rv cool in hot summer<\/a><\/center><\/p><\/div>\nCan you run an RV air conditioner with solar power?<\/strong><\/p>\nTechnically, yes. It\u2019s entirely possible to run an RV\u2019s air conditioning unit on solar power. As what\u2019s always mentioned, solar power is 100 percent renewable and deemed cost-effective. It can also be used for other electrical purposes for the RV like say cooking, lighting, heating, and so on. Maintenance is also low in terms of efforts and cost.<\/p>\n
The downside, however, is that it can be costly to set-up. Think inverter, batteries, and wiring. Of course, DIY installation can be done but if you want to make sure that it works right, a professional\u2019s help will be needed. The solar panels and battery pack, however, requires space– big! It\u2019s also weather-dependent hence, may only be useful when traveling to hot areas where the sun delivers your rig\u2019s power needs.<\/p>\n

Can RV air conditioners be recharged?<\/strong><\/p>\nQuick answer – yes. For an RV air conditioner to operate in utmost efficiency, it must be recharged when deemed necessary. RV air conditioning units use refrigerants to cool its air when passing the evaporating coil. This will ensure that the air conditioner\u2019s efficiency is maximized. When the refrigerant is low, it must be refilled to a standard level. If it runs out, however, it must be completely recharged.<\/p>\n
How to clean RV air conditioner filter<\/strong><\/p>\nUncleaned filters is a prevalent issue in RV air conditioning units. This will reduce airflow leading to freezing up and cooling inefficiency as well as electrical problems later on. To clean, the steps are pretty simple – but must be done with great care and with regularity:<\/p>\n
\n- Remove the filter.<\/li>\n
- Vacuum the loose or accumulated dirt.<\/li>\n
- Wash it with warm + lukewarm water then, rinse and dry.<\/li>\n
- Get rid of bacteria, molds, and microbes by using equal parts water + vinegar as spraying liquid. Let sit for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly.<\/li>\n
- Dry filter and fix it back to the air vent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
