Arizona RVs have their own "residents" that may be in there or just a big handful of debris that blew in during the last dust storm and has gummed up your AC unit (looking at you, bougainvillea petals).
Be sure to take the shroud off and clean this out at LEAST once a year and definitely right after any summer dust storms.
Give us a shout if you need some help.
RV owners, it’s spring time and a lot of you are just getting your rigs ready for the season.
If you go to fire up your AC and all you hear is a hum with no fan movement… don’t panic just yet.
There’s a good chance Tweety Bird moved in over the winter.
I find this every single spring — birds love building nests inside AC shrouds, and it doesn’t take much to stop that fan blade from spinning.
Sometimes it’ll still try to spin, but now you’ve got debris hitting the fan, which can damage it pretty quick.
Before you assume something’s broken, take a minute to pop the cover and make sure nobody set up shop in there.
Little check now can save you from a bigger repair later.
