older a/c smelly issue

I have a 2002 Thor 18DT with a Dometic 57915C a/c unit, which I believe is the original. Recently, there has been a musty smell when I turn on the a/c. The interior filter seems OK. Is there a filter that needs to be changed from the roof?
  • My truck does that sometimes.
    Condensation grows mold and such.
    Try leaving just fan on for a few minutes with A/C off.
    Cleaning coils will probably clear it for awhile but will come back.
  • Recently cleaned the cooling coil on roof. Have to take it apart to the point you can see inside camper from roof. Used a foaming cleaner and rinse with water from spray bottle. Used towels to keep water from entering camper. Smells lemony fresh now!
  • Are you sure the condensation lines are flowing? If not that is the cause.
