Better air cooling with AC

If your RV is like mine, the roof mounted AC units have a bunch of fin damage to the Condenser coils, because they are exposed to the elements. I bit the bullet, and purchased a cheap fin tool from Ebay, and between it and a small common screwdriver, managed to clean up the fins pretty good. I know that increasing the air flow thru the condenser can only help the system to cool better.

Wow that turned out nice. Do you need a side job? I just bought some spray cleaner for or home AC unit. If it works well on that. Then I might make the climb on the motorhome.

Yes impressive - meticulous work and I'm sure time consuming in a uncomfortable position. Freshening the foam seal from condenser to the lid on my low profile units helped as well
