On my brothers unit we thought maybe it was plugged. We couldn't see the evaporator from inside the RV. I went on the roof and removed the cover. (Boy was that cover cheap and flimsily compared to what they used to be) Then I found I still could not access the evaporator because the whole tin around the evaporator was pop riveted, spot welded, or had bent over edges so that there was no way to get to it. Then after blowing out the condenser (which I could get to) we turned it on with me still on the roof. On my old unit the fan draws cool air from the outside environment in threw slits on the sides of the cover and blows air threw the condenser. (toward the back of the TT)
On his unit it draws air threw (or you could say it sucks air threw) the condenser, then tries to exhaust the hot air through the slits on the side of the cover. ??? WTHeck ??? This also means it blowing hot air right at the compressor which is the hottest working part of the unit. I couldn't believe my eyes. No wonder the darned thing works so bad. Stupidest engineering I've ever seen.
You suppose when it was built someone put the fan blades on backwards? I can't believe the could build anything that dumb.
